夏英白曰∶从离宫掐起,至干宫止,中间轻掐,两头重掐,化痰,治咳嗽、昏迷呕吐。
夏英白曰∶从儿大指尖脾经外边推上去,经肱面左边,至肱下节大半处,转至右边,经手心,仍到儿大指头止,
治黄肿虚胀。
夏英白曰∶用二大指搓儿手与肱之背面,各数下,再拿儿手掌,轻轻慢慢而摇,顺气化痰。
夏英白曰∶一手掐儿大指根骨,一手掐儿大指尖脾经,能消食,治痞块。
夏英白曰∶先掐总筋,清天河水,医人以四指皆屈,随以中指背第二节第三节骨凸起,浇新汲凉水于儿掌心,
往右运劳宫,医人以口气吹之,随吹随推。大凉,治一切热症最效。
夏英白曰∶一手托儿肘斗运转,一手捉儿手摇动,男左女右,治小儿痞块。
夏英白曰∶此穴在手背虎口上两旁有圆骨处。遇儿急风暴死,掐此穴。儿哭叫可治,无声难治。
涂蔚生曰∶此节即《针灸大成》之所谓合骨穴,以其有二骨相交会也。英白以前贤之推拿法,具以此穴为威灵
穴,故亦名为威灵。然究不如合骨之易识易记也。
夏英白曰∶此穴在手背无名小指夹界上半寸,掐之治痰喘、气吼、干呕、痞积。
涂蔚生曰∶此穴即《针灸大成》之所谓液门穴,属于手少阳三焦经。英白盖亦沿前贤之推拿法,故名为向导穴耳。
Xia Yingbai said: Begin pinching from Li Palace (Li Gong) and continue until Gan Palace (Gan Gong). Pinch lightly in the middle section and heavily at both ends. This method resolves phlegm and treats cough, coma, and vomiting.
Xia Yingbai said: Push upwards along the lateral side of the Spleen Meridian at the tip of the child's thumb, passing through the left side of the forearm surface, reaching approximately two-thirds down the lower segment of the forearm. Turn to the right side, pass through the palm, and stop back at the tip of the child's thumb. This treats yellow edema and deficiency-type distension.
Xia Yingbai said: The Qi Guan point is located on the second segment of the anterior aspect of the index finger. Rubbing this area promotes the movement of Qi and unblocks orifices.
Xia Yingbai said: Use both thumbs to rub the dorsal aspect of the child's hand and forearm several times. Then grasp the child's palm and gently and slowly rotate it to soothe Qi and resolve phlegm.
Xia Yingbai said: One hand pinches the bone at the root of the child's thumb, while the other hand pinches the Spleen Meridian at the tip of the child's thumb. This eliminates food stagnation and treats mass formations (Pi Kuai).
Xia Yingbai said: First pinch Zongjin (Zongjin), then perform Qing Tianhe Shui (Clearing the Heavenly River Water). The practitioner bends all four fingers, then uses the protruding bones of the second and third segments of the dorsal aspect of the middle finger. Pour newly drawn cool water onto the child's palm, then rotate clockwise around Laogong (Laogong, PC8). While doing so, the practitioner blows air onto the area, pushing and blowing simultaneously. This method produces a strong cooling sensation and is most effective for treating various heat syndromes.
Xia Yingbai said: One hand supports and rotates the child's elbow joint, while the other hand grasps and shakes the child's hand. For males, use the left side; for females, use the right side. This treats pediatric mass formations (Pi Kuai).
Xia Yingbai said: This acupoint is located on the dorsal aspect of the hand, on either side of the tiger's mouth where round bones meet. In cases of sudden infant death or acute collapse, pinch this acupoint. If the child cries, it is treatable; if silent, it is difficult to treat.
Tu Weisheng said: This section corresponds to Hegu (Hegu, LI4) as described in *Zhenjiu Dacheng* (Great Treatise on Acupuncture and Moxibustion), named so because two bones intersect there. Xia Yingbai followed the tuina methods of former sages, referring to this point as Weilings (Weiling), hence also named Weilings. However, it is ultimately not as easy to identify and remember as Hegu.
Xia Yingbai said: This acupoint is located on the dorsal aspect of the hand, half a cun above the interspace between the ring finger and little finger. Pinching this point treats phlegmatic wheezing, gasping, dry retching, and abdominal masses.
Tu Weisheng said: This acupoint corresponds to Yemen (Yemen, SJ6) as described in *Zhenjiu Dacheng*, belonging to the Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian. Xia Yingbai likely followed the tuina methods of former sages, thus naming it Xiangdao (Xiangdao).
