Juxu (ST37/ST39 context implies Lower He-Sea points, likely referring to Shangjuxu ST37 or Xiajuxu ST39 based on location relative to Zusanli, but text says "Juxu" generally. Given "below Zusanli by 3 cun", this refers to Shangjuxu ST37). Two points, located 3 cun below Zusanli (ST37), lateral to the tibia, inside the large tendon; in the depression between the bone and tendon. Moxibustion: three cones. Indications: soreness and pain in the lower leg, difficulty in flexion and extension, inability to stand for long periods.

The Yellow Emperor asked Qibo: "When a person suffers from dysphagia (Ye disease) and cannot eat even the most exquisite delicacies, which acupoint should be moxibusted to achieve immediate recovery?" Qibo replied: "There are five types of Ye disease in humans: first, Qi Ye (Qi-type); second, You Ye (Worry-type); third, Shi Ye (Food-type); fourth, Lao Ye (Exhaustion-type); fifth, Si Ye (Pensive-type). All these arise from disharmony of Yin and Yang, obstruction of the Sanjiao (Triple Burner), and unfavorable flow of body fluids, leading to qi stagnation and irregularity forming Ye disease. For Qi Ye, moxa Danzhong (CV17), located between the two nipples; for You Ye, moxa Xinshu (BL15), located 1.5 cun lateral to the lower border of the fifth thoracic vertebra; for Shi Ye, moxa Rugen (ST18), located 1.6 cun below each nipple; for Lao Ye, moxa Ge Shu (BL17 - Note: Text says 'Ge Yu', likely typo for Ge Shu or similar back-shu point given location at T7 level, but strictly translating text as 'Ge Yu' or interpreting as Ge Shu BL17 which is at T7. The text says 'Seventh vertebral process down', which corresponds to T7. Ge Shu is at T7. I will use Ge Shu (Back-Shu Point of Diaphragm) for accuracy in medical context, but note the text says 'Ge Yu'. Let's stick to the location description for clarity if name is ambiguous, but standard term is Ge Shu. However, prompt asks for strict translation. I will translate 'Ge Yu' as 'Ge Yu' but it is medically 'Ge Shu'. Let's use 'Ge Shu (Diaphragm Shu)' for clinical accuracy in English while noting the source text variation if necessary, but WHO standards prefer standard names. The text says 'Ge Yu', likely a typo for 'Ge Shu'. I will translate as 'Ge Shu (Diaphragm Shu)' for professional quality, or literal 'Ge Yu'. Given the instruction for academic English, I will use the correct anatomical correspondence: Ge Shu (BL17). Wait, the text says 'Seventh椎下', T7 is Ge Shu. So it is Ge Shu. I will use Ge Shu.) located 1.5 cun lateral to the lower border of the seventh thoracic vertebra; for Si Ye, moxa Tianfu (LU3), located 3 cun below the axilla."
