古人以赤痢为湿热，伤于血分；白痢为湿寒，伤于气分。凡初患赤白痢积者，法当灸其天枢，兼之中脘。如日久不
愈，脾肾两伤者，当灸脾俞，兼之会阳也。
天枢（见劳伤。）
中脘（见喘症。）
脾俞（见痹症。）
会阳（见便血。）
伤寒者，由冬令伤于寒邪，法当辛散。其误治也，变为结胸，宜灸期门。若妇人经水适来，邪热入于血室，昼则明
了，夜则谵语，亦灸期门之穴。若饮水过多腹胀者，灸其中脘。余热解不尽者，当灸曲池可也。
期门（见咳嗽。）
中脘（见喘症。）
曲池（见偏风。）
经曰∶冬伤于寒，春必病温，至夏为热病。热病者，皆伤寒之类也。当用辛凉之剂。设未效者，当灸上脘。若烦闷
者，须灸行间。
上脘（见劳伤。）
行间（见尸厥。）
疟疾之病，由夏令先受暑邪，至秋时发为疟疾。秋风欲入，伏暑欲出，表里交争，寒热成矣。连日发者则浅，隔日
发者则深，隔两日发者则更深矣。诸般疟疾，法当先灸大椎。痰盛之体，灸其尺泽。日久不已，灸其内庭。按穴灸之，
则疟自遁。
大椎（见劳伤。）
尺泽（见中风。）
内庭（见尸厥。）
黄胆有五，曰阳黄、阴黄、酒疸、谷疸及女劳疸。其病本皆不离乎湿也。应灸之穴有四，即上脘、肝俞、胆俞、脾
俞是也。
上脘（见劳伤。）
肝俞（见眩晕。）
胆俞（见劳伤。）
脾俞（见痹症。）
The ancients held that red dysentery (dysentery with blood in the stool) was caused by damp-heat damaging the Blood level; white dysentery (dysentery with white or purulent stool) was caused by damp-cold damaging the Qi level. For patients newly afflicted with red and white dysentery accompanied by accumulation, the therapeutic method is to moxa the Tianshu (ST25) acupoint, combined with Zhongwan (CV12). If the condition persists for a long time without healing, resulting in damage to both the Spleen and Kidney, one should moxa the Pishu (BL20) acupoint, combined with Huiyang (BL36).
Shanghan disease (Cold Damage) arises from contracting cold pathogens during winter. The therapeutic method should involve pungent dispersing techniques. If mismanaged, it may transform into Jie Xiong syndrome (chest binding), which is suitable for moxibustion at Qimen (LR14). In women whose menstruation has just begun, if pathogenic heat enters the Blood Chamber (referring to the Liver and Chong Mai related to menstruation), presenting with clear consciousness during the day and delirium at night, moxibustion at the Qimen (LR14) acupoint is also indicated. If abdominal distension occurs due to excessive water intake, moxa Zhongwan (CV12). If residual heat remains unresolved, moxa Quchi (LI11).
The Classics state: "If cold is injured in winter, warm diseases will inevitably occur in spring, developing into heat diseases by summer." Heat diseases all belong to the category of Shanghan. One should employ pungent-cooling agents. If there is no effect, one should moxa Shangwan (CV13). If there is irritability and oppression, one must moxa Xingjian (LR2).
Malaria is caused by first contracting summer-heat pathogens in summer, manifesting as malaria in autumn. As autumn wind attempts to enter and latent summer-heat attempts to exit, interior and exterior struggle against each other, resulting in alternating chills and fever. Daily continuous attacks indicate shallow pathology; every-other-day attacks indicate deeper pathology; attacks every two days indicate even deeper pathology. For various types of malaria, the initial therapeutic method is to moxa Dazhui (GV14). For constitutions with abundant phlegm, moxa Chize (LU5). If the condition persists for a long time, moxa Neiting (ST44). By moxa-ing according to these acupoints, malaria will naturally recede.
Jaundice has five types: Yang Jaundice, Yin Jaundice, Wine Jaundice (Jiu Dan, jaundice caused by excessive alcohol consumption), Grain Jaundice (Gu Dan, jaundice caused by dietary irregularities), and Female Labor Jaundice (Nü Lao Dan, jaundice caused by sexual exhaustion). The root of these diseases lies not apart from dampness. There are four acupoints indicated for moxibustion: Shangwan (CV13), Ganshu (BL18), Danshu (BL19), and Pishu (BL20).
