(Oblique withering, i.e., hemiplegia)
Qibo answered the Yellow Emperor regarding moxibustion for stroke-induced hemiplegia. (See "Zhongfeng" [Stroke].) Lieque (LU7), treats facial paralysis (Kouyan Pianxi). Weakness of the wrist. (See "Lao" [Strain].) Hemiplegia. (Same as above.) Cough. Heat in the center of the palm. Trismus (Jaw lock), inability to open the mouth. (From *Tongren Shuxue Zhenjiu Tujing* [Illustrated Manual of Acupoints and Moxibustion of the Copper Man].) Xiaguan (ST7), treats wind-stroke. Facial paralysis. Temporomandibular joint dislocation. Shangguan (ST3), treats facial paralysis. (Ming dynasty texts state that "facial paralysis" is synonymous with "strabismus".) Tinnitus sounding like cicadas. (Same as above.) Wanggu (GB12), treats wind-stroke. Facial paralysis. Neck and nape pain, inability to look back. Dark yellow urine. Throat obstruction (Houbi), cheek swelling. Chengjiang (CV24), treats facial paralysis and facial edema. (Same as above.) Chongyang (ST42), (See "Facial Paralysis".) Dicang (ST4), treats facial paralysis. (See "Facial Paralysis".) Yingxiang (LI20), treats facial paralysis. Facial itching and edema. Paresthesia, feeling like insects crawling on the skin. Or lip swelling and pain. (Same as above.) Huantiao (GB30), treats cold-damp bi-syndrome and wind-rash. Wind-stroke causing hemiplegia. Pain in the waist and hips, inability to turn. (Same as above.) Jianyu (LI15), treats wind-stroke causing hemiplegia. Wind-heat causing urticaria. Spasticity and urgency of the arm. (Ming dynasty text: "Hand cannot reach over the head.") Difficulty grasping objects. Inability to draw a bow. Emaciation and weakness of the arm. Soreness and pain of sinews and bones. If treating wind-stroke with moxibustion, 77 moxa cones are acceptable; do not use too many. Quchi (LI11), treats wind-stroke causing hemiplegia. Needling treats wind-rash pain, cold and flaccid limbs. Difficulty grasping objects. Inability to draw a bow. Difficulty bending the body. Pulse-wind causes emaciation and weakness of the arm and elbow. Yanglingquan (GB34), Huantiao (GB30), (Both seen in "Xi Tong" [Knee Pain].) Quchi (LI11), treats wind-stroke causing hemiplegia. (Same as above.) Zhaohai (KI6), treats severe wind causing oblique withering. Hemiplegia. (Same as above.) Shanglian (LI9), treats wind-stroke. Numbness and lack of sensation in the waist, legs, hands, and feet. (Both from *Tongren* and *Mingtang*, same as above.) Xia Kunlun (BL60), (See "Yao Jiao" [Waist and Foot Pain].) Weizhong (BL40), treats hemiplegia. (Same as above.) Dicang (ST4), (See "Facial Paralysis".) Chengshan (BL57), (See "Jiao Ruo" [Weak Legs].) Shanglian (LI9), (See "Xianggang Jiao" [Hong Kong Foot/Varicose Veins]). Xialian (LI10), (See "Shi Bi" [Damp Bi]). Treats wind-stroke. Yinqiao (KI6), treats hemiplegia of hands and feet. (See "Yue Shi" [Menstrual Disorders].) Wei Tui Feng. Hemiplegia. Aphasia. Moxa Baihui (GV20). (Qian's work seen in "Zhong Feng Ban Shen Bu Sui" [Stroke Hemiplegia]; both men and women suffer this, but men especially should avoid left-sided affliction, and women especially should avoid right-sided affliction. After contracting this disease, wind-dispelling herbs should not be temporarily omitted; it is best if moxa sores persist on the body. Sexual intercourse is strictly contraindicated. Only by cultivating oneself like Daoists or Buddhists can one ensure no other complications. If performing moxibustion, one should first moxa Baihui (GV20) and Xinhui (GV22), then Fengchi (GB20), Jianyu (LI15), Quchi (LI11), Hegu (LI4), Huantiao (GB30), Fengshi (GB31), Zusanli (ST36), and Jiegu (GB39). One need not adhere to the old classic saying of "treating the left by moxa-ing the right, and treating the right by moxa-ing the left"; simply moxa where tenderness is felt upon pressing. Moxa-ing both sides is also good, but one should proceed from top to bottom.)
