The Yellow Emperor asked Qibo: "For those suffering from Ye disease who cannot consume various delicacies, which acupoint should be moxibusted to achieve immediate cure?" Qibo replied: "There are five types of Ye disease. The first is Qi Ye (Qi-type Dysphagia); the second is You Ye (Worry-type Dysphagia); the third is Shi Ye (Food-type Dysphagia); the fourth is Lao Ye (Fatigue-type Dysphagia); the fifth is Si Ye (Pensive-type Dysphagia). All these conditions arise from disharmony of Yin and Yang, separation of the Sanjiao (Triple Burner) and diaphragm, and unfavorable flow of Jin-Ye (Body Fluids), leading to irregular Qi obstruction and forming Ye disease."

After some time following needle insertion, first the Spleen grinds the food, and feeling the needle move is the first effect; next, the needle breaks the root of the disease, and hearing sounds in the intestines is the second effect; next, feeling Qi flow into the Bladder is the third effect; finally, feeling Qi flow into the lumbar region between the kidneys is the fourth effect.
