The syndromes related to phlegm and saliva are numerous and varied. Among them, phlegm associated with Lao Zhai [Consumption Disease/Tuberculosis] is the most difficult to treat. It is most suitable to apply moxibustion to the Gaohuang (BL43) acupoint. After sufficient moxa cones are applied, there should be an exudate, appearing like flowing water; this indicates the downward expulsion of phlegm. I shall then treat according to the specific symptoms. Generally, when people suffer from Shui Zhu [Water-Dampness Affliction] characterized by gushing saliva in the mouth, the classics refer to this as Lung Metal overacting on Kidney Water. For postprandial vomiting of water, one may moxa the Feishu (BL13) acupoint. Additionally, moxa Sanyinjiao (SP6) and Qimen (LR14) to drain the Lung and tonify the Kidney. The number of moxa cones for each point should correspond to the patient's age. Since some phlegm-saliva conditions resemble this pattern, they should also be treated using this moxibustion method.
