(针灸破痈切宜忌之。)
立春艮上起天留,戊寅己丑左足求。春分左胁仓门震,乙卯日见定为仇。立夏戊辰己
巳巽,阴洛宫中左手愁。夏至上天丙午日,正值膺喉离首头。立秋右手当玄委,戊申己未
坤上游。秋分仓果西方兑,辛酉还从右胁求。立冬右足加新洛,戊戌己亥干位收。冬至坎
方临叶蛰,壬子腰尻下窍流。五脏六腑并脐腹,招摇诸戊己中州。
(忌针灸。)
人神之法将何起?一日先从足大指。二日外踝三股内,四在腰髀五口里。六手七居内踝次,八腕九尻十腰背。十一
鼻柱二发际,十三牙齿皆相类。十四胃脘五遍身,六胸十七气冲寻。十八股内十九足,二十内踝须分明。二十一在手小
指间,二十二外踝二十三肝。(及足。)二十四手阳明勿错,二十五足阳明一般。二十六在胸二十七膝,二十八阴中勿相
逼。二十九元来膝胫前,三十足趺须记得。
(忌针灸刺血。)
血忌正牛二月羊,三当避虎四猴乡。五兔六鸡皆可畏,七龙八狗正刚强。九在蛇宫十
在亥,十一偏嫌马伏藏。十二月中逢鼠位,是名血忌必须防。
