Acupuncturists do not perform pulse diagnosis but listen to the patient's complaints. If pain is located in the head, needles are retained locally; needling to the bone level cures the disease, ensuring no injury to muscles, bones, or skin above, as the skin serves as the pathway for needle insertion. The Yin Needling method involves inserting a needle on one side and passing through to four points (or: inserting on one side, penetrating to the opposite side, totaling four needles). It treats deep and concentrated cold-heat pathogens by needling the Five Zang Organs (Five Zang Organs), approaching the Zang via back-shu points. Needling approaches the Zang because the Zang Qi converges at the back-shu points; abdominal cold-heat sensations cease when removed. This aligns with the essentials of needling: upon withdrawing the needle, allow slight bleeding. For treating abscesses and necrotic tissue, puncture the necrotic area; observe the size and depth of the carbuncle to determine needling depth—large carbuncles require copious bloodletting, small ones require deep needling. Needles must be inserted steadily and correctly, stopping when appropriate.
When pathology resides in the lower abdomen with accumulation, needle the skin layer from below the Henggu (CV12) point down to the lower abdomen. Needle the spaces between the fourth thoracic vertebrae on both sides of the spine, and between the iliac bones and costal margins on both sides, guiding heat qi downward in the abdomen to cure the disease. When pathology resides in the lower abdomen with abdominal pain and inability to urinate or defecate, the disease is named Hernia (Shan), caused by Cold. Needle between the two thighs in the lower abdomen and between the lumbar and sacral bones. Apply multiple needle insertions until local warmth is achieved, then the disease is cured. When pathology resides in the tendons, causing tendon spasms, joint pain, and immobility, the disease is named Tendon Bi (Tendon Obstruction). Needle the tendons themselves, inserting into the intermuscular spaces without piercing the bone. Stop when the tendons feel warm and the disease resolves. When pathology resides in the muscle layer, causing diffuse pain, the disease is named Muscle Bi (Muscle Obstruction), caused by Cold-Dampness. Needle large and small muscle compartments, using multiple deep needle insertions until local heat is achieved. Do not injure sinews or bones; if injured, pain may flare up or symptoms change. Stop when all compartments feel hot and the disease resolves. When pathology resides in the bones, causing heaviness, inability to lift limbs, bone marrow soreness, and invasion by Cold Qi, the disease is named Bone Bi (Bone Obstruction). Deep needling should avoid injuring vessels and muscles. The path follows the large and small muscle compartments. Stop when the bones feel warm and the disease resolves. When pathology resides in the Yang meridians, presenting with alternating chills and fever, and similar sensations in various muscle compartments, the disease is named Mania (Kuang). Reduce the pulse via needling. Stop when all compartments feel hot and the disease resolves.
If a disease initially occurs once a year, and remains untreated, it may occur once a month; if still untreated, four to five times a month. This is named Epilepsy (Dian). Needle various muscle compartments and meridians. For those without Cold, regulate with needles. Stop when the disease resolves. For Wind diseases presenting with chills, fever, and profuse sweating occurring several times a day, first needle the interstitial tissues and collateral vessels. If sweating accompanies chills and fever, needle every three days for one hundred days until cured. For severe Wind diseases (Da Feng) causing heavy joints and loss of eyebrows and beard, needle the muscles until sweating occurs for one hundred days, then needle the bone marrow until sweating occurs for another hundred days. Totaling two hundred days, stop needling when eyebrows and beard regrow.
