黄帝问岐伯曰∶凡人中风，半身不遂，如何灸之?岐伯答曰∶凡人未中风时，一两月前
，或
三五个月前，非时，足胫上忽发酸重顽痹，良久方解，此乃将中风之候也。便须急灸三里穴
与绝骨穴，四处各三壮。后用葱、薄荷、桃、柳叶四味煎汤，淋洗灸疮，令驱逐风气于疮口
中出也。
灸疮∶若春较，秋更灸；秋较，春更灸。常令两脚上有灸疮为妙。凡人不信此法，或饮
食不节，酒色过度，忽中此风，言语謇涩，半身不遂，宜于七处一齐下火，各灸三壮。如风在左
灸右，在右灸左。一、百会穴。二、耳前发际。三、肩井穴。四、
风市穴。五、三里穴。六、绝骨穴。七、曲池穴。
上件七穴，神效极多，不能具录，根据法灸之，万无一失也。

Huangdi asked Qibo: "When a common person suffers from wind-stroke (Zhongfeng, stroke), resulting in hemiplegia (Ban Shen Bu Sui, paralysis of half the body), how should moxibustion be applied?" Qibo replied: "Before a common person actually suffers from wind-stroke, one or two months, or three to five months prior, during non-seasonal times, if there is suddenly an onset of soreness, heaviness, numbness, and bi-syndrome (Bi Zheng, obstruction syndrome) in the lower legs and shins, which resolves only after a long time, this is a sign that wind-stroke is about to occur. At this point, it is necessary to urgently apply moxibustion to Zusanli (ST36) and Juegu (GB39). Apply three moxa cones (Zhuang) at each of the four locations (both sides of both acupoints). Afterwards, decoct green onion, mint, peach leaves, and willow leaves, and use the liquid to wash the moxa sores, allowing the pathogenic wind to be expelled through the sores."
Regarding the management of moxa sores: If a sore forms in spring, apply moxibustion again in autumn; if it forms in autumn, apply again in the following spring. It is advisable to always maintain moxa sores on both feet. If people do not believe in this method, or if they are immoderate in diet, excessive in alcohol and sexual activity, and suddenly suffer from this wind pathogen, presenting with slurred speech and hemiplegia, it is appropriate to apply fire (moxibustion) simultaneously at seven locations, three moxa cones at each. If the wind is on the left, moxa the right; if on the right, moxa the left. 1. Baihui (GV20). 2. Hairline anterior to the ears. 3. Jianjing (GB21). 4. Fengshi (GB31). 5. Zusanli (ST36). 6. Juegu (GB39). 7. Quchi (LI11).
The above seven acupoints have numerous miraculous effects, which cannot be fully recorded. Following this method for moxibustion ensures no failure.
