To treat Spleen disease with heavy body sensation, select the point Yinjiao (RN7).
Master Wang stated: When moxibustion is applied to treat pain in the affected area of the Spleen, and after taking herbal medicine for Spleen disease, abdominal distension occurs instead. As a last resort, following the method from Kaocheng, wrap the powder of Rhizoma Curcumae Longae (Ezhhu) that has been processed with fire in flour, decoct it with water, wine, and vinegar, and take it orally; recovery is immediate. Later, he told others, who also said that taking powder of Rhizoma Alpiniae Officinarum (Gaoliangjiang) mixed with rice drink was also effective. Later, Professor Zheng transmitted another prescription: Fructus Tsaoko (Caoguo), Radix Corydalis Yanhusuo (Yanhusuo), Wulingzhi, and Resina Myrrhae (Moyao). Take three qian or one qian mixed with wine. It is similar to the four ingredients of Shou Nian Que Caoguozi and Wulingzhi ground into powder equally. This is also a mild prescription. Those with this ailment should take it. Or, if there is no vomiting or diarrhea, but heart pain that is lighter during the day and heavier at night, take dried salted plum (Ganyanmei) decocted with tea; the effect is miraculous.

Master Wang stated: Someone suffered from chronic regurgitation (Fanwei). I administered Zhenling Dan (Spirit-Calming Pill) and instructed him to also take Qiqi Tang (Seven-Qi Decoction), after which he could immediately eat. If combined with moxibustion, the effect is even better. An elderly woman suffered from regurgitation, vomiting food consumed in the evening. Observing qi rotating around her navel, I punctured the points Shuifen (RN9) and Qihai (RN6), as well as two points flanking the navel. Another woman was cured by only moxibusting Shuifen (RN9) and Qihai (RN6); the effect was miraculous.
To treat regurgitation with immediate choking upon eating, moxa each point one cun below both breasts (until cured). Also moxa ten cones one cun above the navel. Also moxa three cones at the point slightly obliquely forward below the medial malleolus by two finger-breadths (or one finger-breadth). The point Zhongwan (CV12) is four cun above the navel. The two points Zusanli (ST36) are three cun below the navel. Moxa seven or nine cones at each; the effect is particularly remarkable.
