侧即活（痛啮即重咬，踵即脚跟也）。皂荚末吹入两鼻亦良，经一二更不活者，灸两足大指上
各七炷，炷如绿豆大，根据图取法。妇人扎脚者，此穴难求，宜灸掌后三寸两筋间各十四壮，此

葛洪、陶弘景、孙思邈治疗魇死的方法说：凡是夜间发生魇症的人，都是由于本人平时神气不足，睡觉时神不守舍，魂魄外游，或者被强横邪恶的鬼魂所拘执，想要回来却回不来，身体如同死尸一样。切忌用火光照耀，因为火照会使魂魄不能回归体内。只应当在暗中呼唤病人。如果有灯光而发生的魇症，虽然魂魄是因为光亮而出离，但也忌讳用火光照耀，只需让人用力咬患者的脚跟及足大脚趾甲侧面即可使其复活（痛啮即重咬，踵即脚跟）。将皂荚末吹入两个鼻孔也有效。如果经过一两个时辰仍未苏醒，就灸双脚大脚趾上各七壮，艾炷大小如绿豆，具体取穴方法参照图示。妇女缠脚的，这个穴位难以寻找，适宜灸手腕后方三寸处两筋之间的穴位各十四壮，这个穴位就是前面甄权治疗突发心痛的穴位。各自根据前面的图来取穴。

Sun Simiao treated tetanus (muscle spasms/cramps) caused by cholera, as well as sudden and unexplained tetanus causing extreme suffering and near-death states, by moxibustion on the tips of both ankles, three moxa cones per ankle, with each cone sized like a mung bean. If the tetanus occurs in the inner thigh/leg, moxibustion is applied to the tips of both medial malleoli; if it occurs in the outer thigh/leg, moxibustion is applied to the tips of both lateral malleoli. The "ankle" refers to what is commonly called the ankle bone. The method is the same for men and women.
Ge Hong (Ge Xianweng) and Tao Hongjing (Tao Yinju) treated severe, unbearable toothache caused by wind pathogen, accompanied by inability to eat, by applying moxibustion to the tip of the lateral malleolus on the foot, three moxa cones, sized like a mung beans. For left-sided afflictions, treat the right side; for right-sided afflictions, treat the left side. The method is the same for men and women. The acupoints at the ankle are recorded in *Mingtang Jiu Jing* (Illustrated Manual of Moxibustion).
Hua Tuo treated conditions caused by invasion of spirits or demons, resulting in mania, delirium, and syncope, where various talismans and medicines were ineffective. He used a thin rope to bind both thumbs together and applied moxibustion, three cones. Each cone was placed at four points: half on the flesh and half on the nail bed. If any point was missed, the treatment would not be effective. During moxibustion, the patient might speak in the voice of ghosts or gods; by questioning them briefly, they could be commanded to leave, and the patient would subsequently regain consciousness. Refer to the diagram for specific point location. The method is the same for men and women.

Ge Hong, Tao Hongjing, and Sun Simiao described the treatment for death-like sleep paralysis (nightmare death): Anyone suffering from nightmare death does so because their spirit and qi were incomplete during daily life. When sleeping, the spirit fails to guard the residence, and the hun and po wander outside. They may be seized by powerful evil ghosts and unable to return, making the body appear like a corpse. It is strictly forbidden to use fire or light to illuminate, as this prevents the spirit and po from returning to the body. One should only call out to the person in the dark. Even if the nightmare was triggered by light, causing the spirit to exit due to brightness, one must still avoid using fire/light. Instead, have someone bite hard on the patient's heel (Zhong) and the side of the big toenail to revive them (hard biting is referred to as tong nie; Zhong means heel). Blowing powder made from Gleditsiae Fructus (Zao Jia Mo) into both nostrils is also effective. If the person does not revive after one or two double-hours (1-4 hours), apply moxibustion to each big toe, seven cones per toe, sized like a mung bean. Refer to the diagram for point location. For women with bound feet, this point is difficult to locate; instead, apply moxibustion to the point located three cun proximal to the wrist crease, between the two tendons, fourteen cones per side. This point is the same acupoint Zhen Quan used to treat sudden acute heart pain mentioned earlier. Refer to the previous diagrams for point location.
