For patients with Huoluan (Acute Gastroenteritis), moxibustion treatment can be applied. Even if immediate recovery is not achieved, there will ultimately be no risk of death. Reverse moxibustion should not be performed. Some patients present with abdominal pain first, while others have diarrhea followed by vomiting; the moxibustion method should be selected according to the specific symptoms.

If not cured, repeat moxibustion as previously described. From *Jia Yi Zhen Jing*, the acupoint name is Tianshu (ST25).

Treating persistent dysentery. (From *Zhouhou Fang*)

Scorching Moxa Method (From *Ren Cun Fang*)
Treating Huoluan with spasms, nearing death, but where warmth remains in the abdomen. Moxibustion at Chengjin (BL56): 7 moxa cones.

Alternatively, fill the umbilicus with salt until solid, and apply 14 moxa cones directly on the salt. Another method is to moxibustion Qihai (CV6), located 1.5 cun below the umbilicus, 14 moxa cones is excellent.
