Treatment for children who drink water incessantly and have yellowish complexion. Moxibustion at Yanggang, one moxa cone per side.
Treatment for children aged five to six who cannot speak. This is due to insufficiency of Heart Qi and weakness of the tongue root, making pronunciation difficult. Moxibustion at Xinshu (Heart Shu), three moxa cones; or alternatively, three moxa cones on each ankle joint.
Treatment for sudden cyanosis and blackening of the abdominal skin in children. If not treated urgently, death may occur within moments. Moxibustion at five points: half an inch above, below, left, and right of the umbilicus, and one inch below the tip of the xiphoid process (Jiuwei bone). Three moxa cones at each point.
Treatment for sunken fontanelle in children. Moxibustion at one and a half inches above and below the umbilicus, at the end of the xiphoid process, and one moxa cone on the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian.
Treatment for unclosed fontanelle in children. Moxibustion at two points, five fen above and below the umbilicus, three moxa cones at each point. Note: If the moxa sore has not appeared but the fontanelle closes first, it is ineffective.

Treatment for torticollis-like spinal deformity ("turtle back") in children. This is caused by external wind invading the spine at birth, lingering in the marrow. For such cases, moxibustion at Feishu (Lung Shu), Xinshu (Heart Shu), and Geshu (Diaphragm Shu), three moxa cones each.
However, this method has been used repeatedly; out of thirteen cases, ten showed improvement, but no complete cure was achieved. Fu Zhidian's grandson, Shaoxi, showed immediate effect after moxibustion in the spring of the Xinhai year.
Treatment for "turtle chest" in children. This arises from lung heat causing distension that attacks the chest and diaphragm; additionally, it is caused by the nursing mother consuming hot-natured wheat noodles and the "five pungent spices," leading to further elevation of the chest.
Moxibustion at 1.5 cun anterior to both nipples, and at six locations between the gaps of the third ribs in the upper two rows. Three moxa cones at each location, sized like a wheat grain. In spring and summer, moxa from bottom to top; in autumn and winter, from top to bottom. If this method is not followed, one or two out of ten cases will not heal.

If not cured after three days, moxa Qichong (Qi Rushing) with two hundred moxa cones. This point is located in the old bone under the throat and chest, also known as Qitang.

For delirious speech or speaking as if possessed by ghosts, moxa Guilu (Ghost Path), five moxa cones; moxibustion at Zi hour (11 PM - 1 AM) is particularly excellent.

Another method: For loud shouting and狂running, moxa Zusanli (Leg Three Miles), located three cun below the knee, lateral to the tibia.
