Fanwei (Reverse Stomach), also known as regurgitation, refers to a condition where food can enter the body but is subsequently vomited back up. This is primarily caused by deficiency of Spleen and Stomach Yang Qi, leading to impaired transportation and transformation functions. Consequently, the body fails to properly digest food and fluids and transform them into essence and nutrients, resulting in "morning food vomited in the evening" or "evening food vomited in the morning." As Wang Taipou stated: "Food enters and is vomited back; this indicates a lack of Fire (Mingmen Fire/Kidney Yang)." The treatment method involves moxibustion at Zhongwan (CV12) and Xiawan (CV10), combined with moxibustion at Ge Shu (BL17). If there is no effect, further moxibustion should be applied to Pishu (BL20) and Weishu (BL21); in severe cases, Zusanli (ST36) may be moxaed.

Huoluan (Colic Disorder) presents with sudden heart and abdominal pain, accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea, which is termed Wet Huoluan. If there is an urge to vomit but nothing comes out, and an urge to defecate but nothing comes out, it is termed Dry Huoluan. Emergency moxibustion at Qimen (LR14) can cure this.

Tou Tong (Headache) is differentiated into Exogenous and Endogenous causes. Headaches without relief are due to Exogenous factors, while those that come and go are due to Endogenous factors. If the headache is caused by Wind-Cold attacking the head (Tou Feng), moxibustion at Baihui (GV20) and Shenting (GV24) is appropriate; Hegu (LI4) and Danshu (BL18) can also be treated with moxibustion. If the headache is severe, feeling like the head is splitting, or caused by internal injury, moxibustion at Mingmen (GV4) will lead to recovery.

Zhen Xin Tong (True Heart Pain) is incurable. What is currently referred to as "Heart Pain" actually refers to pain in the chest and epigastrium. For pain in the chest and abdomen, moxibustion at Shangwan (CV13) is indicated; if the pain persists, moxibustion at Xingjian (LR2) and Ge Shu (BL17) is recommended. For cold pain below the umbilicus, moxibustion at Qihai (CV6) and Guanyuan (CV4) is used. For cold pain in the lower abdomen, moxibustion at Zhongji (CV3) is applied. For pain flanking the umbilicus radiating upward to cause heart pain, moxibustion at Tianshu (ST25) is indicated.
