(Xiao'er Jingxian [Pediatric Convulsive Epilepsy], Ji Jingfeng [Acute Convulsive Wind], Man Jingfeng [Chronic Convulsive Wind])
Xinhui (GV22) is indicated for treating Jingxian. Symptoms include Dai Mu [eyes staring upward] and inability to recognize people. (From *Tongren Shuxue Zhenjiu Tujing* [Illustrated Manual of Acupoints in the Copper Figure]) Jugu (SI1) treats Jingxian accompanied by rupture of the heart/chest and hematemesis. (From *Mingtang Jiu Jing* [Moxibustion Classic of the Mingtang]) Jiutui (CV15) treats Xin Jingxian [epilepsy originating from the Heart]. The condition presents with sounds resembling bird calls. Rupture of the heart/chest with hematemesis. Stagnation of Qi in the chest causing oppression. Aversion to hearing human speech. Heart pain and abdominal distension. Shaochong (HT9) treats Jingxian with protrusion of the tongue and foaming at the mouth. Shugu (BL65) treats Jingxian Diankuang [epileptic mania]. Alternating chills and fever. Headache and vertigo. (From *Zhenjiu Jiayi Jing* [The Systematic Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion]) Jinsuo (GV22) treats Jingxian characterized by frantic running. Epileptic patients may exhibit excessive speech. Stiffness of the spine. Eyes turning upward or fixed staring. Regarding pulse diagnosis, Changqiang (GV1) governs Xiao'er Jingxian accompanied by convulsions. Vomiting and diarrhea. Loss of essence due to fright. Blurred vision. (From *Qianjin Yaofang* [Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold]) Xinhui (GV22), Qanding (GV21), Benshen (GB13), Tianzhu (BL10) govern Xiao'er Jingxian. Linqi (GB15) governs pediatric epilepsy with upward deviation of the eyes. Xinhui (GV22) governs pediatric epilepsy with asthma and inability to breathe. Qanding (GV21) treats Xiao'er Jingxian. (Note: "Ming" below refers to *Mingtang Jiu Jing*). Fengxian [Wind Epilepsy] convulsions. Prior to onset, there is profuse clear nasal discharge. Swelling of the vertex. (From *Tongren Shuxue Zhenjiu Tujing*) Regarding pulse diagnosis, Shendao (GV11), Luxin [likely referring to a specific point or region related to the fontanelle], treat childhood-onset epilepsy convulsions. (Both seen in the section on Pediatric Convulsions). Changqiang (GV1), Shenzhu (GV12) treat Xiao'er Jingxian.
For any wind disease in children, moxa Lvgu (GB8). (See Wind Disease section). If a child first cries out in fright and terror, subsequently developing Jingxian, moxa three burns at the whorl of hair on the vertex. Also moxa the blue collateral vessels behind the ears. For Xiao'er Jingxian, moxa Guilu acupoint one burn. Located on the central string line inside the upper lip. Using a steel knife to incise is even better. For Xiao'er Ji Jingfeng [Acute Convulsive Wind], moxa Qanding (GV21) three burns. If not cured, must moxa both glabella corners (Meichuang) and Renzhong (GV26). Qin Chengzu treated Xiao'er Jingxian etc. via moxibustion. (See Guixie [Ghost Evil] section). For Xiao'er Huan Jingfeng [Chronic/Slow Convulsive Wind], moxa Chize (LU5) one burn each side. For Kuangxie Jingxianbing [Manic evil and epileptic disease], moxa Chengming (KI14? Note: Text says Chengming, likely a specific historical point name distinct from ST36) thirty burns. Located three cun superior to the posterior aspect of the medial malleolus on the pulsating artery. Also moxa for Jingkuang zou [frightened mania and running wild]. Kuangdian Fengjing [Manic epilepsy wind fright], Jueni [Cold extremities] and Xinfan [Heart vexation], moxa Juyang (BL62? Note: Text says Juyang, likely referring to Weiyang BL39 or similar, but strictly translating text as Juyang) fifty burns.
Xingjian (LR2), (See Diankuang section) governs Jingxian. (From *Qianjin Yaofang*) Wanggu (SI4) treats Jingfeng. (From *Tongren Shuxue Zhenjiu Tujing*, see Convulsions section) Jinsuo (GV22) treats Jingxian. (From *Mingtang Jiu Jing*, see Diankuang section)
Ji Jingfeng and Man Jingfeng are not caused by true Wind pathogens. The ancients called them Yin-Yin Jian [Yin-Yang Epilepsy], analogous to how Shanghan [Cold Damage] has Yin and Yang syndromes. Yang Jian resembles Yang syndromes; it should be treated with cooling medicines. Yin Jian resembles Yin syndromes; it should be treated with warming medicines. Incompetent physicians do not understand this principle and treat it with Wind-dispelling medicines. Wind-dispelling medicines are mostly cooling in nature. If it is Man Jing [Chronic Wind], there is no case that does not suffer harm from this. Beware, beware. It is said that regarding moxibustion for Jingfeng, only moxing Man Jing and Man Pi Feng [Chronic Spleen Wind] is considered safe and appropriate.
