佳,涌泉可灸十壮。大敦、隐白、行间可灸三壮,余者悉七壮,皆五日一报之。满三灸可山
也。若灸诸阴不瘥,可灸诸阳,诸阳在脚表宜审用之,无有不验,造次则并灸肺俞募,按流
注孔穴,壮数如灸阴家法。

之令两爪甲相近,以一炷灸两爪甲本肉际,际方后自然有角。令炷当两角中小侵入爪上,此
两指共当一炷也。亦灸脚大指与手同法,各三炷。经三日又灸之,此法甚验。
十二种疗法,附有一篇论述。
消渴病导致咽喉干燥,灸胃下俞穴三处,每穴各一百壮(艾灸单位),位置在背部第八椎骨下方,横向间隔三指宽一寸处施灸。
消渴病导致口干,痛苦难忍,灸小肠俞穴一百壮,横向间隔三指宽一寸处施灸。
消渴病伴有咳嗽气逆,灸手厥阴心包经穴位,壮数随患者年龄而定(即几岁灸几壮)。
首先灸双手双脚的小脚趾尖端以及项部脊椎,壮数随患者年龄而定。
另外,灸膀胱俞穴,横向间隔三指宽一寸处,每穴各三十壮,每隔五天再灸一次(称为“报”)。
另外,灸背部脾俞穴下方四寸处,位于脊柱两侧各一寸半的两穴,壮数随患者年龄而定。
论述说:灸完上述各穴后,应当煮白狗肉做成肉羹汁食用。饮食中不使用姜、酱、豆豉,可以使用葱和薤白随意搭配。应当煮肉骨头汤,做成清淡的肉羹,可以吃里面的肉,应当逐渐增加进食量,禁忌吃猪肉,按照此法需坚持二百日才能痊愈。
另外,灸肾俞二穴以及腰目穴。腰目穴位于肾俞穴下方三寸,脊柱两侧各一寸半处,用手指按压有凹陷感的地方取穴。
另外,关元穴及其两旁各二寸处各一穴。
另外,阴市二穴位于膝盖上方,当伏兔穴上三寸、临近膝盖处取穴。
曲泉、阴谷、阴陵泉、复溜,凡是这些穴位,对于断绝小便频数且量大效果极佳,且不损伤阳气,也可以说是能止住遗尿。太冲、中封、然谷、太白、大都、趺阳、行间、大敦、隐白、涌泉,凡是这些穴位各灸一百壮。腹部、背部及双脚共计三十七个穴位,其中肾俞、腰目、关元、水道穴可灸三十壮。每隔五天再灸一次,每次各得一百五十壮为佳。涌泉穴可灸十壮。大敦、隐白、行间穴可灸三壮,其余穴位均灸七壮,都是每隔五天再灸一次。满三次疗程后可以停止。如果灸治诸阴经穴位无效,可以灸治诸阳经穴位,诸阳经穴位在脚背表面,应当仔细辨别使用,没有不灵验的。仓促之间也可并灸肺俞穴及肺募穴,参照流注孔穴的方法,壮数如同灸治阴经穴位的方法。
针对小便频数且量少、排尿困难,用力时容易失精的情况,此方极为灵验。让患者舒展双手合掌,并将两个大拇指对齐,用力逼迫使两指甲靠近,用一炷艾条灸两指甲根部肌肉交界处,交界处后方自然形成角状。让艾炷对准两角中间稍侵入指甲上方,这两根手指共同对应一炷艾。也灸脚大拇指,方法与手相同,各三炷。经过三天后再灸一次,此法非常灵验。
Twelve methods, accompanied by one treatise.
For xiaoke (wasting-thirst syndrome) causing dryness of the throat, moxa the three points of Weixiashu (Stomach Lower Shu), each with 100 moxa cones (Zhuang). The location is below the eighth thoracic vertebra on the back, at a horizontal distance of three finger-breadths and one cun from the midline.
For xiaoke causing unbearable dry mouth, moxa Xiaochangshu (Small Intestine Shu) with 100 moxa cones, at a horizontal distance of three finger-breadths and one cun.
For xiaoke accompanied by cough and rebellious qi, moxa the points of the Hand-Jueyin Pericardium meridian, with the number of moxa cones corresponding to the patient's age in years.
For xiaoke causing dry mouth, moxa Xiong tang (Chest Hall) with 50 moxa cones.
Additionally, moxa the points of the Foot-Taiyang Bladder meridian with 50 moxa cones.
For xiaoke, with dry mouth and vexation/distress, moxa the points of the Foot-Jueyin Liver meridian with 100 moxa cones.
Additionally, moxa Yangchi (Yang Pool) with 50 moxa cones.
Jian’s method for moxing xiaoke:
First, moxa the tips of the little toes on both hands and feet, as well as the cervical spine vertebrae, with the number of moxa cones corresponding to the patient's age in years.
Additionally, moxa Pangguangshu (Bladder Shu) at a horizontal distance of three finger-breadths and one cun, 30 moxa cones per point, repeating every five days (referred to as "Bao").
Additionally, moxa the two points located four cun below Pishu (Spleen Shu) on the back, one and a half cun lateral to the spinal column on both sides, with the number of moxa cones corresponding to the patient's age in years.
The treatise states: After moxing the aforementioned points, one should boil white dog meat to make a soup/gravy. Avoid using ginger, soy sauce, or fermented soybeans in the diet; green onions and Allii Macrostemonis Bulbus (Xiebai) may be used freely. Boil meat bones to make a light soup; the meat may be eaten. The intake should be gradually increased. Pork must be avoided. Following this method requires persistence for 200 days for recovery.
Additionally, moxa the two points of Shenshu (Kidney Shu) and Yaomu (Waist Eye). Yaomu is located three cun below Shenshu, one and a half cun lateral to the spine on both sides, identified by pressing until an indentation is felt.
Additionally, Guanyuan (Convergence of Origin) and one point on each side two cun lateral to it.
Additionally, Yinshi (Yin Market) consists of two points located above the knee, three cun above Futu (Riding Dog) and adjacent to the knee.
Ququan, Yinggu, Yinlingquan, Fuliou: These points are highly effective in stopping frequent and excessive urination without damaging Yang Qi; they can also stop enuresis. Taichong, Zhongfeng, RanGu, Taibai, Dadu, Zuyang, Xingjian, Dazhun, Yinbai, Yongquan: Each of these points receives 100 moxa cones. In total, there are 37 points on the abdomen, back, and feet. Among them, Shenshu, Yaomu, Guanyuan, and Shuidao receive 30 moxa cones each. Repeat every five days, accumulating up to 150 cones per session is optimal. Yongquan receives 10 moxa cones. Dazhun, Yinbai, and Xingjian receive 3 moxa cones each; all other points receive 7 moxa cones. Repeat every five days. After completing three courses of moxibustion, treatment may cease. If moxing the Yin meridians is ineffective, moxing the Yang meridians may be attempted. The Yang meridians are located on the dorsal aspect of the foot; careful selection is required, and efficacy is assured. In urgent cases, Feishu (Lung Shu) and the Lung Mu (Alarm) point may be moxed simultaneously. Refer to the flow-through acupoint method, with the number of moxa cones following the same protocol as for the Yin meridians.
For symptoms of frequent, scanty, and difficult urination, along with seminal emission upon exertion, this formula/method is extremely effective. Have the person stretch out both hands, join palms, and align the thumbs tightly so that the fingernails are close together. Apply one moxa cone to the fleshy junction at the base of the nails of both thumbs. A natural angle forms behind this junction. Position the moxa cone slightly penetrating onto the nail surface between the two angles. Both thumbs correspond to one moxa cone. Moxa the big toe of the foot using the same method, applying three cones to each. Repeat the moxibustion after three days. This method is highly efficacious.
