论述说：凡是霍乱患者，施灸虽然可能不能立即痊愈，但最终不会有死亡的危险，不可进行逆向施灸（即先灸下部后灸上部等违背病势的灸法）。或者只是先出现腹痛，或者先呕吐随后腹泻，应当根据病症表现来施灸。如果先出现心痛以及先呕吐的，灸巨阙穴七壮，该穴位于心下一寸处。如果不见效，再按前面的次数施灸。如果先出现腹痛的，灸太仓穴十四壮，该穴在心厌下四寸，脐上一夫宽处，如果不止泻，再按前面的次数施灸。如果上吐下泻无法控制，两手阴阳脉都疾速数乱的，灸心蔽骨下三寸处，以及脐下三寸处，各灸六七十壮。如果有干呕症状的，灸间使穴各七壮，该穴在手腕后三寸处，两筋之间，如果不止，再按前面的次数施灸。如果手足逆冷，灸三阴交穴各七壮，该穴在内踝尖直上三寸，胫骨内侧缘后方，如果未痊愈，再按前面的次数施灸。如果先出现腹泻的，灸谷门穴十四壮，该穴在脐旁二寸处，男性取左侧，女性取右侧，又名大肠募穴。如果未痊愈，再按前面的次数施灸。如果腹泻不止的，灸大都穴七壮，该穴在足大趾本节后内侧白肉际处。如果因吐泻导致身体虚弱、烦躁欲死的，灸慈宫穴二十七壮，该穴在横骨两旁各二寸半处，横骨位于脐下，即耻骨联合上缘。如果发生转筋（肌肉痉挛），部位在两臂及胸中的，灸手掌白肉际处七壮，又灸膻中、中府、巨阙、胃脘、尺泽穴，这些穴位都能治疗筋脉拘急，头和脚的症状都会痊愈。如果是走哺（气逆上冲）伴转筋，灸踵踝白肉际处各二十一壮。又灸小腹下横骨中央，随患者年龄决定壮数。
如果是转筋伴有四肢厥冷，灸两乳根黑白际交界处各一壮。如果是转筋，灸涌泉穴六七壮，该穴在足心下方，当踇趾大筋之上。又灸手足，灸脐上一寸十四壮，直到手脚不再抽搐为止，不要再去扶持它。又灸大腿内侧大筋处，距离阴部一寸处。对于霍乱引起的转筋，让病人俯卧端正躺好，伸直双手贴于身体两侧，用绳子横向测量两肘尖之间的距离，头部对齐绳子下端，沿脊柱骨头两边各旁开一寸半处，灸一百壮，没有不痊愈的，这是华佗的方法。对于霍乱已死但还有微弱气息的，灸承筋穴七壮。用于救活死人，取绳子测量从脚趾到脚跟的周长，捏住绳子对折一半作为长度，让一端到达脚跟踩踏地面的位置，向上引至量好的长度处，绳头所指的位置即是穴位。又在脐中填入盐，灸十四壮。
Discussion states: In cases of Huoluan (Cholera-like syndrome with sudden vomiting and diarrhea), moxibustion may not bring about immediate cure, but it ultimately prevents death; one must avoid reverse moxibustion (moxibustion applied contrary to the disease's progression). If symptoms present as abdominal pain first, or vomiting followed by diarrhea, moxibustion should be applied according to the specific manifestations. If heart pain occurs first along with vomiting, moxibustiate Jueque (CV14, Pericardium Master Point) with seven moxa cones; this acupoint is located one cun below the heart region. If ineffective, repeat moxibustion with the same number of cones. If abdominal pain occurs first, moxibustiate Taicang (RN10, Water Gate) with fourteen moxa cones; this acupoint is located four cun below the xiphoid process, one fu (span) above the umbilicus. If symptoms persist, repeat moxibustion with the same number of cones. If vomiting and diarrhea are uncontrollable, and both yin and yang pulses in both hands are rapid and chaotic, moxibustiate three cun below the xiphoid cartilage and three cun below the umbilicus, each with sixty to seventy moxa cones. For dry heaving, moxibustiate Jianshi (PC5, Intertendinous Point) on both sides with seven moxa cones; this acupoint is located three cun proximal to the wrist crease, between the two tendons. If symptoms persist, repeat moxibustion with the same number of cones. For cold extremities, moxibustiate Sanyinjiao (SP6, Three Yin Intersection) on both sides with seven moxa cones; this acupoint is located three cun directly above the medial malleolus, at the posterior border of the tibia. If not cured, repeat moxibustion with the same number of cones. If diarrhea occurs first, moxibustiate Gumen (ST25, Grain Gate) with fourteen moxa cones; this acupoint is located two cun lateral to the umbilicus, left side for males and right side for females, also known as the Front-Mu point of the Large Intestine. If not cured, repeat moxibustion with the same number of cones. If diarrhea is unceasing, moxibustiate Dadu (SP2, Great Metropolis) with seven moxa cones; this acupoint is located on the medial aspect of the white skin margin, distal to the metatarsophalangeal joint of the great toe. If debility from vomiting and diarrhea leads to severe irritability and a sensation of impending death, moxibustiate Cigong (CV13, Heart Palace) with twenty-seven moxa cones; this acupoint is located two and a half cun lateral to the Henggu (CV12, Horizontal Bone) on both sides. Henggu is located below the umbilicus, corresponding to the superior border of the pubic symphysis. For muscle spasms (cramps) occurring in the arms and chest, moxibustiate the white skin margin of the palm with seven moxa cones, and additionally moxibustiate Danzhong (CV17, Chest Center), Zhongfu (LU1, Middle Palace), Jueque (CV14), Weiwannan (Ren-12 equivalent area or ST-related point depending on context, here likely referring to epigastric region), and ChiZe (LU5, Cubit Marsh); these treat tendon constriction, and symptoms in the head and feet will resolve. For Qi rebellion with cramps, moxibustiate the white skin margin of the calcaneal ankle with twenty-one moxa cones on each side. Additionally, moxibustiate the center of the lower abdomen at the Henggu, with the number of cones determined by the patient's age.
For cramps accompanied by cold limbs, moxibustiate the junction of black and white skin at both Rugen (ST18, Root of Breast) points with one moxa cone each. For cramps, moxibustiate Yongquan (KI1, Gushing Spring) with six or seven moxa cones; this acupoint is located in the depression of the sole, anterior to the midpoint between the second and third toes, on the plantar aponeurosis. Also moxibustiate the hands and feet; moxibustiate one cun above the umbilicus with fourteen moxa cones, until movement ceases, then do not hold or restrain the limbs. Additionally, moxibustiate the large tendon in the inner thigh, one cun away from the genitalia. For Huoluan-induced cramps, have the patient lie prone in a straight position, extend both hands along the body. Measure the distance between the tips of the two elbows horizontally with a rope. Align the head with the end of the rope. Moxibustiate one and a half cun lateral to the spinous processes of the spine, with one hundred moxa cones; this method of Hua Tuo ensures recovery. For those who appear dead from Huoluan but still have faint breath, moxibustiate Chengjin (BL57, Supporting Muscle) with seven moxa cones. To revive the seemingly dead, take a rope and measure the circumference of the foot from the toes to the heel. Fold the rope in half. Place one end at the heel where it touches the ground, and extend the other end upwards to the length of the folded rope; the tip indicates the acupoint. Additionally, fill the umbilicus with salt and moxibustiate with fourteen cones.
