The above various herbs can guide the medicinal qi into the acupuncture needles.
The Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) originates at Huiyin (CV-1), ascends along the abdomen to converge at the throat, and terminates at Chengjiang (CV-24). There are twenty-four acupoints in total. This specialty (Throat Department) uses only four acupoints: Xuanji (CV-21), Tiantu (CV-22), Lianquan (CV-23), and Chengjiang (CV-24). (Later it is recorded that Huiyin (CV-1) is mentioned, stating that for all cases of Houfeng [Wind affecting the throat], needling is prohibited, thus it is not included in the general list.)
Chengjiang (CV-24) (also known as Tianchi or Xuanjiang) is located in the depression anterior to the chin, below the lower lip ridge. The *Classic of Acupuncture* states: "It is the intersection of the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian and the Ren Mai." Needle depth: 2 fen; retain needle for five breaths; moxa: 3 zhuang. Indications: facial paralysis with deviation of mouth and eye, trismus (lockjaw), sudden aphonia (inability to speak), hemiplegia due to wind-stroke. It may also be needled to a depth of 3 fen, slowly guiding the qi out. Another theory suggests it treats facial swelling due to wind-stroke, polydipsia (excessive drinking due to thirst), and canker sores/ulcers in the mouth and teeth caused by gum erosion; moxibustion is also beneficial. One may perform 7 zhuang daily, up to 49 zhuang. This will unblock the blood vessels, and the wind pathogen will be cured immediately. The moxa cone need not be large; aligning it with the meridian is sufficient to cure the disease. *Qianjin Fang* states: For infants with tight lips, perform 3 zhuang. *Baizheng Fu* states: Draining toothache brings immediate relief. *Tongyuan Fu* states: Treats stiffness of the head and neck.
Lianquan (CV-23) (also known as Benchi or Sheshui) is located in the center above the hyoid bone under the chin, below the root of the tongue. Take this point with the patient looking upward. The *Classic of Acupuncture* states: "It is the intersection of the Yinwei Mai and the Ren Mai." According to *Cimai Lun*: "The two vessels under the tongue are Lianquan." *Qifu Lun* states: "Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian has one vessel on each side under the tongue." *Weiqi Pian* states: "The biao (mark) of the Foot-Shaoyin is in the back and the two vessels under the tongue." Therefore, Lianquan is not a single point; it should be considered the left and right vessels under the root of the tongue, and is the intersection of the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian. Needle depth: 3 fen; retain needle for three breaths; moxa: 3 zhuang. Indications: cough and wheezing, rising qi with frothy expectoration, flaccid tongue or swollen sublingual area making speech difficult, retracted and stiff tongue root causing anorexia, reduction of saliva, ulcers at the anal opening.
*Baizheng Fu* states: Needling Zhongchong (PC-9) concurrently can attack swelling and pain under the tongue.
Tiantu (CV-22) (also known as Yuhu) is located in the depression 3 cun below the laryngeal prominence. It is the intersection of the Yinwei Mai and the Ren Mai. Needle depth: 5 fen; retain needle for three breaths; moxa: 2 zhuang. Take this point with the head bent forward. Indications: asthma with rising qi, cough, throat obstruction (Houbi), five types of dysphagia (Wuye), lung abscess, vomiting or spitting pus and blood, acute sore throat with aphonia, alternating chills and fever with dry throat, sublingual tension, inability to swallow food, etc.
Xuanji (CV-21) is located in the depression 1 cun below Tiantu (CV-22). Take this point with the head extended. Needle depth: 3 fen; moxa: 5 zhuang. Indications: fullness in the chest and hypochondrium, rebellious qi with cough, asthma with inability to speak, throat obstruction with sore throat, inability to ingest fluids/water, excess syndrome.
Huiyin (CV-1) (also knowning Pingyi) is located between the anus and the scrotum/genitals. It is a collateral branch of the Ren Mai and the intersection of the Du Mai and Bo Mai. The Ren, Du, and Chong meridians all originate here; the Ren Mai travels through the abdomen from here, the Du Mai travels through the back from here, and the Chong Mai travels through the Shaoyin region from here. Moxibustion is suitable, but needling is contraindicated. Indications: cold syndromes and various diseases of the yin organs. For all cases of Houfeng [Wind affecting the throat], needling is prohibited.
