Epidemic malaria is the most difficult to manage; the acupuncture method requires raising Yang first and then Yin. If Houxi (SI3) can be located, adding moxibustion will alleviate and reduce the disease.

Toothache occurs in paroxysms like burning; rubbing Erjian (LI2) gently and rotating it provides relief. If accompanied by regurgitation and vomiting food, Zhongwan (CV12) should be connected with Qihai (CV6) using the pan-circling technique.

Shaochong (HT9) is on the Hand-Shaoyin Heart Meridian; its functions are numerous and suitable for needling. For deficiency-cold of the Heart and Gallbladder, use the extending-rubbing tonification method; for hyperthermia stagnation in the Upper Jiao, use the lifting method in the hand.

For throat swelling (tonsillitis), which is a secondary urgent condition, urgently use gold needles for lifting and draining treatment. If delayed, it becomes hard to save; bleeding Shaoshang (LU11) with lifting and extending techniques is required.

Cough, wind-phlegm, and cold-phlegm: Needling Lieque (LU7) is effective. Tonifying Taiyuan (LU9) via extending treats lung cough; this point can also combine moxibustion to raise Yang.

For dementia, select points in the upper Qi region, then raise Yang while also raising Yin. Shenmen (HT7) uses lifting-pressing-scraping techniques; taking from Zusanli (ST36) leads to health.

Continuous days of deficiency vexation and ruddy complexion, with unbearable anger in the heart: If Tongli (HT5) is found, one needle trial restores health.

Wind-phlegm causing ulcerated eyes is pitiable, with tears flowing profusely causing suffering. The raising Yang method for Daxiaogu Kong (EX-B4) and Xiaogua Kong (EX-B5) requires sincere and precise moxibustion.

For women's breast inflammation (acute mastitis) with unresolved swelling, insert needles into the Taiyin meridian to enrich raising Yang. After shaking and tonifying at Shaoze (SI1), expelling wind-phlegm eliminates the disease.

Whole-body heat indicates a deficiency syndrome; dripping night sweats transform into consumption. Baolao (EX-B1) is excellent for upward rubbing and lifting; raising Yin first and then Yang yields high efficacy.

If kidney deficiency causes frequent urination, rubbing and tonifying followed by raising Yang works. To tonify Mingmen (GV4) by raising Yang, add Mingshu (BL23) with moxibustion for natural harmony.

The nine types of hemorrhoids and fistulas harm people most; Chengjiang (CV24) raising Yang is miraculous. Changqiang (GV1) should be drained; severe pain and groaning are relieved by needling the correct point.

Gohuang (BL43) two points are powerful in acupuncture methods, but their location has always been difficult to measure. This area prohibits needling and is suitable for moxibustion; even after a thousand moxa cones, there is no harm.

Liver blood deficiency causes blurred vision; strengthening the tonification of Ganshu (BL18) adds power. Additionally, Xsanli (ST36) should be used to lower Yin and drain; restoring blood nourishment ensures no error.

Spleen syndromes have many manifestations, primarily viewed through regurgitation and vomiting. Jaundice also requires moxibustion at Wangu (SI4); gold needles use Zhongwan (CV12) with circling techniques.

For typhoid with no sweat, drain Fuliu (KI7). For excessive sweating, raise Yang and rub/shake to stop it. If rubbing/shaking does not stop the sweat, pressing the artery at Hegu (LI4) makes the pulse float again.
