At the anterior position, pressing inward, corresponds to the Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian (Zu Jue Yin Gan Jing). If there is abnormal pulsation here, the patient suffers from lower abdominal pain, irregular menstruation, and closure of the uterus (Zi Zang). Again, at the anterior position, pressing inward, is the Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian. If there is abnormal pulsation, the patient suffers from lower abdominal pain radiating to the waist, difficulty in defecation, dysuria, pain in the urethra; women present with irregular menstruation, coldness in the vagina, obstruction of the cervical os (Zi Men), leading to urgency in the lower abdomen; men present with hernia (Shan Qi), retraction of the testes into the abdomen, and strangury (Lin Zheng). Needle insertion depth is six fen, withdrawing to three fen.
At the central position, pressing inward, corresponds to the Foot-Taiyin Spleen Meridian (Zu Tai Yin Pi Jing). If there is abnormal pulsation here, the patient suffers from epigastric pain, inability to eat, coughing up blood, coldness in the calves, shortness of breath, heaviness of the body, feeling as if sitting in water from the waist upward. Again, at the central position, pressing inward, is the Foot-Taiyin Spleen Meridian. If there is abnormal pulsation, the patient presents with abdominal fullness, coldness in the upper epigastrium (Shang Wan), inability to eat, a condition caused by dietary indiscretion. If the pulse is deep and choppy (Chen Se), the patient suffers from heaviness of the body, immobility of the four limbs, indigestion, vexation and chest fullness, inability to lie down, calf pain, aversion to cold, occasional hemoptysis, and yellow diarrhea. Needle insertion depth is six fen, withdrawing to three fen.
At the posterior position, pressing inward, corresponds to the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian (Zu Shao Yin Shen Jing). If there is abnormal pulsation here, the patient suffers from lower abdominal pain radiating to the heart and back, accompanied by strangury. Falling from a height causing internal injury leads to hematuria. Again, at the posterior position, pressing inward, is the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian. If there is abnormal pulsation, the patient suffers from lower abdominal pain radiating to the heart and back, accompanied by strangury. Falling from a height causing internal injury to the buttocks leads to hematochezia, tenesmus, and when menstruation arrives, qi rushing to the heart, chest and hypochondriac fullness and stiffness, and stiffness in the inner thighs. Needle insertion depth is six fen, withdrawing to three fen.
At the anterior position where pulsation is felt on both left and right sides, corresponds to the Yang Qiao Mai (Yang Heel Vessel). If there is abnormal pulsation here, the patient suffers from back and waist pain; a slightly choppy pulse indicates wind-phlegm epilepsy (Feng Xian). Treatment should target the Yang Qiao Mai. Again, at the anterior position where pulsation is felt on both sides, is the Yang Qiao Mai. If there is abnormal pulsation, the patient suffers from waist pain, epilepsy, aversion to wind, hemiplegia (Pian Ku), sudden collapse with baaing like a sheep, bi syndrome, and rigidity of the skin and body (alternative reading: excessive bi syndrome). Directly treat the Yang Qiao Mai, located three cun above the lateral malleolus, directly opposite the Juegu point.
At the central position where pulsation is felt on both left and right sides, corresponds to the Dai Mai (Girdle Vessel). If there is abnormal pulsation here, the patient suffers from lower abdominal pain radiating to the Mingmen point; women present with amenorrhea, or intermittent bleeding that subsequently stops, coldness in the yin region, leading to infertility; men suffer from lower abdominal stiffness or seminal emission.
At the posterior position where pulsation is felt on both left and right sides, corresponds to the Yin Qiao Mai (Yin Heel Vessel). If there is abnormal pulsation here, the patient suffers from epilepsy, alternating chills and fever, and rigidity of the skin and body (alternative reading: excessive bi syndrome). Again, at the posterior position where pulsation is felt on both sides, is the Yin Qiao Mai. If there is abnormal pulsation, the patient suffers from lower abdominal pain, tenesmus, pain connecting the waist and hip area to the external genitalia; men present with yin hernia, women present with continuous leukorrhea or metrorrhagia (Lou Xia).
