灸法 （灸疗可否，张文仲说，见证状总说中。）自古及今，愈此病者，十不得一。所谓狸骨、獭肝、
天灵盖、铜镜鼻，徒有其说，未尝见效。唯膏肓俞崔氏穴，若闻早灸之，可否几半，晚即不济也。（《三因》）
（按∶崔氏穴，即四花与患门穴，而《苏沈良方》所举殊详，其文颇繁，兹不录。又崔氏曰∶余昔忝洛州司马，
常三十日灸活一十三人，前后瘥者数过二百。至如狸头獭肝徒闻曩说，金牙铜鼻罕见其能，未若此方扶危拯急
。此陈氏所本。患门旧不着，
其名始见明徐凤《针灸大全》。）
调摄法 《苏游论》曰∶凡患骨蒸之人，坐卧居处不宜伤冷，亦不得过热。冷甚则药气难通，兼之胀满
食不消化，或复气上。热甚则血脉拥塞，头眩目疼，唇干口燥，心胸烦闷，渴欲饮水。此等并是将息过度之状
，深可诫也。将养之法，须寒温得所，先热而脱，先寒而着。若背伤冷，即令咳嗽；若手足伤热，即令心烦；
若覆衣伤浓，即眠卧盗汗；若覆衣过薄，即心腹胀满。所是食饮不限时节，宁可少食（保无宿疰），数数进之
（助药势也），必须伤软（易消故也），不宜伤硬（恐损胃气致不消也），此皆以意消息之为佳。（《外台》）
又论曰∶骨蒸之病，无问男女特忌房室，举动劳作尤所不宜。陈臭酸咸，粘食不消，牛马驴羊，大小二豆，
猪鱼油腻，酒面瓜果，野猪之属，葵笋蒜蕨，及生冷等，并不得餐。自非平复一月以后，乃渐开也。大略如此，
触类而长之。此病宜食煮饭、盐豉、豆酱、烧姜、葱、韭、枸杞、苜蓿、苦菜、地黄、牛膝叶，并须煮烂食之。
候病稍退，恐肌肤虚弱者，可时食干鹿脯为味。（同上）
必须病患爱命，坚心定志，绝房室，息妄想，戒恼怒，节饮食，以自培其根。否则虽服良药，亦无用也。

The above are made into powder, sealed tightly in a lidded incense burner, leaving only a small hole for smoke. The patient plugs the nose with paper and inhales the smoke through the mouth.

Moxibustion Method (Regarding whether moxibustion is applicable, Zhang Wenzhong states, see the general description of symptoms.) From ancient times to now, those cured of this disease are less than one in ten. So-called Ligu (Cat Bone), Tagan (Otter Liver), Tianlinggai (Human Skull), Tongjingbi (Bronze Mirror Nose) are merely theories, never effective. Only Gaohuangshu (BL43) and Cui Shi's points, if moxibusted early upon hearing of the disease, have nearly a 50% cure rate. Late application is useless. (From *San Yin Fang*)
(Note: Cui Shi's points refer to Sihua and Hunmen points. *Su Shen Liangfang* details them extensively, text is too long, not recorded here. Also Cui Shi said: I formerly served as Sima of Luozhou, often cured thirteen people in thirty days via moxibustion, over two hundred in total. As for Cat Head and Otter Liver, only old tales heard; Gold Tooth and Copper Nose rarely show ability. Not comparable to this method for saving lives in crisis. This is based on Chen's work. Hunmen point was not previously recorded; its name first appeared in Ming Dynasty Xu Feng's *Zhenjiu Daquan*.)
Regulation Method: *Su You Lun* says: For those suffering from Gu Zheng, sitting, lying, and dwelling places should not be too cold, nor too hot. Too cold makes medicinal energy difficult to circulate, causing bloating and indigestion, or rebellious Qi rising. Too hot causes blood vessel congestion, dizziness, eye pain, dry lips and mouth, chest vexation, thirst for water. These are all signs of excessive care/neglect, deeply to be warned against. Care method: Must balance cold and heat. Remove clothes if feeling hot first; put on clothes if feeling cold first. If back suffers cold, cough results; if hands and feet suffer heat, heart vexation results; if covering clothes too thick, night sweats during sleep result; if covering clothes too thin, chest/abdominal fullness results. Food and drink timing is not limited. Better to eat less (to preserve against residual pathogens), eat frequently (to assist medicinal power). Must be soft (easy to digest), not hard (to avoid damaging Stomach Qi causing indigestion). All these should be judged by intent. (From *Waitai Mi Yao*)
Another discussion: Gu Zheng disease, regardless of gender, strictly forbids sexual activity. Movement and labor are especially unsuitable. Old, smelly, sour, salty foods, sticky indigestible foods, beef, horse, donkey, sheep, soybeans, pork, fish, greasy foods, wine, wheat, fruits, wild boar, purslane, bamboo shoots, garlic, bracken, and cold/raw foods, must not be consumed. Unless after one month of recovery, can gradually open restrictions. Generally thus, extend by analogy. This disease suits cooked rice, salted fermented beans, bean paste, roasted ginger, scallions, leeks, goji berries, alfalfa, bitter vegetables, Rehmannia, Achyranthes leaves. All must be boiled soft before eating. When disease recedes, fearing skin/muscle weakness, can occasionally eat dried venison jerky. (Same source)
Patients must cherish life, strengthen will, abstain from sex, cease delusions, avoid anger, regulate diet, to cultivate their own root. Otherwise, even taking good medicine is useless. (From *Mingyi Zazhu*)
