\r毫针式\p05-c21a21.bmp\r
尖如蚊虻喙。取法于毫毛。长寸六分。主寒痛痹在络。
或问曰。睛明、迎香、承泣、丝竹空等穴皆禁灸。何也。曰、穴近目。目畏火。故禁灸也。以是推之。
则知睛明不可灸矣。凡灸头面之艾炷。宜小麦大。不宜多灸。盖头面为诸阳之首故也。若四肢炷稍大。背腹
则又大。不妨多灸。四肢多灸则枯细。瘦人春夏之月刺宜浅。肥人秋冬之月刺宜深。此行针灸之大法也。
古人灸艾住火。便用洗法。以赤皮葱、薄荷叶煎汤温洗疮周遭。约一时久。令驱逐风散于疮口出。更令经
脉往来不涩。自然疾愈。若灸火退痂后。用东南桃枝青嫩皮煎汤温洗。能护疮中诸风。若疮内黑烂。加胡
荽煎洗。若疼不可忍。加黄连煎洗。神效。
正头风及脑痛
这种病症在针刺后，可能一两天内再次发作，像之前一样疼痛剧烈。但头部是诸阳经汇聚之处，治疗应当先补后泻。又宜多泻少补。如果补泻手法错误，再次发作时病情会更重。
应当再针刺百会、合谷、上星三个穴位进行泻法治疗，没有不有效的。如果是反复发作，另外针刺上星、太阳穴。
正头痛（正中头痛），早晨发作晚上死亡，晚上发作早晨死亡。医生用心刺疗法治疗。如果不这样，很难治愈。确切的正头风，是十死之症。又名肾厥头痛。
口眼歪斜
这种病症都是因为醉酒后，睡觉时对着风，邪气窜入经络，痰饮灌注。或者因为怒气伤肝，房事不节制。宜先针刺颊车、合谷、地仓、人中穴。如果不好转，再针刺地仓、合谷、承浆、瞳子髎穴。
头顶痛
这种病症是阴阳不分，风邪窜入脑户穴。所以针刺无效。先去其痰，后去其风，自然有效。宜先针刺百会、后顶、合谷穴。如果无效，再针刺风池、合谷、足三里穴。
头风目眩
这种病症多因醉饱后行房，未避风寒而卧，贼风进入经络。宜针刺解溪、合谷、丰隆穴。再次发作后针刺风池、上星、足三里穴。
外障眼
这是头风灌注瞳仁，血气涌溢，上盛下虚，所以得此病。宜针刺太阳、睛明、合谷、小骨空穴。如果无效，再针刺临泣、攒竹、足三里穴。
眼生翳膜
这种病症受病既深，不能一时就能针刺痊愈。先针刺睛明、合谷穴。如果无效，必须针刺三次才可以。如果发作，再针刺太阳、光明穴。
迎风冷泪
这种病症是醉后当风，或暴赤眼痛，不忌房事，恣食热物。妇人大多因产后当风坐视，贼风窜入眼中。或行经与男子交感，秽气冲于头目，所以成此疾。宜针刺攒竹、合谷、大骨空、小骨空穴。如果未完全痊愈，再针刺小骨空穴。
暴赤肿痛眼
这种病症是时气所作，血气壅滞。当风睡卧，饥饱劳役所致。宜先针刺合谷、足三里、太阳、睛明穴。如果无效，后再针刺攒竹、太阳、丝竹空穴。
红肿涩烂沿眼
这种病症是醉饱行房，气血凝滞，用手揩摸，贼风窜入，所以有此症。宜先针刺合谷、二间穴。如果无效，再针刺睛明、足三里穴。
内障眼
这种病症是怒气伤肝，血不就舍，肾水枯竭，血气耗散。初病不谨慎，恣贪房事，用心过多，所以得难治之症。先宜针刺临泣、睛明、合谷、瞳子髎穴。如果无效，针刺光明、风池穴。
羞明怕日眼
这种病症是暴痛，在路迎风，窜入眼中，血不就舍，肝不藏血。观灯则泪出，见日则酸涩，痛疼难开。宜针刺攒竹、合谷、小骨空、二间穴。如果不好，再针刺睛明、行间穴。
偏正头风
这种病症是痰饮停滞胸膈，贼风窜入脑户。偏正头风，发作时连半边皮肉疼痛，或手足沉冷。久而不治，变为瘫痪。也分阴阳针刺。或者针力未到，所以无效。此症宜先针风池、合谷、丝竹空穴。后可针足三里泻之，以去其风。针后穴前穴丝竹空、鞋带（解溪）。
红肿疼痛眼
这种病症因伤寒未解，却有房事，上盛下虚，气血壅上。或头风不早治，则血灌瞳仁。或暴赤肿痛，或怒气伤肝，房事触毒心肝二经，饮食不节，饥饱醉劳，皆有此症。心火炎上故不散。及妇人产后怒气伤肝，产期未满，非一时可疗，渐而为之，无不效也。宜先刺睛明、临泣、合谷。不愈，再刺风池、太阳、行间。

有人问：睛明、迎香、承泣、丝竹空等穴皆禁灸，为什么呢？回答说：穴位靠近眼睛，眼睛畏惧火，所以禁灸。以此类推，可知睛明不可灸。凡是灸头面的艾炷，宜如小麦大小，不宜多灸。因为头面是诸阳之首的缘故。如果四肢的艾炷稍大，背腹则更大，不妨多灸。四肢多灸则会枯细。瘦人在春夏之月针刺宜浅，肥人在秋冬之月针刺宜深。这是行针灸的大法。古人灸艾驻火后，便用洗法，以赤皮葱、薄荷叶煎汤温洗疮周遭，约一个时辰，令驱逐风散于疮口出，更令经脉往来不涩，自然疾病痊愈。若灸火退痂后，用东南桃枝青嫩皮煎汤温洗，能护疮中诸风。若疮内黑烂，加胡荽煎洗。若疼不可忍，加黄连煎洗，神效。
Regular Head Wind and Brain Pain
This condition may recur one or two days after acupuncture, with pain as severe as before. However, the head is the meeting point of all Yang meridians; treatment should employ tonification first followed by sedation. It is advisable to use more sedation and less tonification. If tonification and sedation are applied incorrectly, recurrence will be even more severe.
Acupuncture should be performed on Baihui (GV20), Hegu (LI4), and Shangxing (GV23) using the sedation method, which will invariably be effective. For recurrent attacks, additionally needle Shangxing (GV23) and Taiyang (EX-HN5).
Regular Headache (pain in the center of the head): Onset in the morning leads to death by evening; onset in the evening leads to death by morning. Physicians must utilize heart-point pricking therapy. Otherwise, it is difficult to treat. True regular head wind is a fatal condition among ten deaths. It is also known as Kidney Jue Headache.
Facial Paralysis (Deviation of Mouth and Eye)
This condition is caused by sleeping in the draft after intoxication, allowing pathogenic factors to invade the collaterals, accompanied by phlegm-fluid retention. It can also result from anger injuring the Liver or excessive sexual activity. Initially, needle Jiache (ST6), Hegu (LI4), Dicang (ST4), and Renzhong (GV26). If there is no improvement, subsequently needle Dicang (ST4), Hegu (LI4), Chengjiang (CV24), and Tongziliao (BL1).
Vertex Headache
This condition arises from the failure of Yin and Yang to distinguish, with wind pathogens invading Naohu (GV19), rendering acupuncture ineffective. First eliminate phlegm, then dispel wind, and efficacy will naturally follow. Initially needle Baihui (GV20), Houding (GV18), and Hegu (LI4). If ineffective, subsequently needle Fengchi (GB20), Hegu (LI4), and Zusanli (ST36).
Head Wind with Dizziness
This condition is often due to sexual intercourse after heavy drinking and eating, without avoiding wind and cold while lying down, allowing thief-wind to enter the collaterals. Needle Jiexi (ST41), Hegu (LI4), and Fenglong (ST40). Upon recurrence, needle Fengchi (GB20), Shangxing (GV23), and Zusanli (ST36).
Exterior Obstruction Eye Disease
This results from head wind pouring into the pupil, causing blood and Qi surging, with excess above and deficiency below. Needle Taiyang (EX-HN5), Jingming (BL1), Hegu (LI4), and Xiaogu Kong (EX-UE7). If ineffective, subsequently needle Linqi (GB15), Cuanzhu (BL2), and Zusanli (ST36).
Eye Opacity and Membrane Formation
The pathology is deep-seated and cannot be cured by a single acupuncture session. Initially needle Jingming (BL1) and Hegu (LI4). If ineffective, three sessions of acupuncture are required. Upon recurrence, needle Taiyang (EX-HN5) and Guangming (GB37).
Cold Tearing in the Wind
This condition occurs after drunkenness exposed to wind, or acute red painful eyes where sexual activity is not avoided, and consumption of hot-natured foods is unrestrained. Women often suffer this from sitting exposed to wind postpartum, allowing thief-wind to invade the eyes. Or during menstruation, sexual contact allows turbid qi to rush to the head and eyes. Needle Cuanzhu (BL2), Hegu (LI4), Dagukong (EX-UE6), and Xiaogu Kong (EX-UE7). If not fully healed, re-needle Xiaogu Kong (EX-UE7).
Acute Red Swollen and Painful Eyes
This condition is caused by seasonal pathogens, stagnation of blood and Qi, sleeping in the draft, irregular meals, and overexertion. Initially needle Hegu (LI4), Zusanli (ST36), Taiyang (EX-HN5), and Jingming (BL1). If ineffective, subsequently needle Cuanzhu (BL2), Taiyang (EX-HN5), and Sizhukong (TE23).
Red Swelling, Astringency, Ulceration around the Eye
This condition results from sexual activity after heavy drinking and eating, leading to stagnation of blood and Qi, rubbing with hands, and invasion of thief-wind. Initially needle Hegu (LI4) and Erjian (LI2). If ineffective, subsequently needle Jingming (BL1) and Zusanli (ST36).
Interior Obstruction Eye Disease
This condition is caused by anger injuring the Liver, blood failing to reside in its vessel, exhaustion of Kidney Water, and dissipation of blood and Qi. Initial negligence, unrestrained sexual desire, and excessive mental exertion make it difficult to treat. Initially needle Linqi (GB15), Jingming (BL1), Hegu (LI4), and Tongziliao (BL1). If ineffective, needle Guangming (GB37) and Fengchi (GB20).
Photophobia and Fear of Sunlight
This condition involves acute pain, exposure to wind while traveling, invasion into the eyes, blood failing to reside, and the Liver failing to store blood. Tears flow when viewing lamps; sourness and astringency occur when seeing sunlight; pain makes opening the eyes difficult. Needle Cuanzhu (BL2), Hegu (LI4), Xiaogu Kong (EX-UE7), and Erjian (LI2). If not healed, subsequently needle Jingming (BL1) and Xingjian (LR2).
Oblique and Regular Head Wind
This condition involves phlegm-fluid stagnation in the chest and diaphragm, with thief-wind invading Naohu (GV19). Oblique and regular head wind causes pain in half of the facial skin and flesh upon attack, or cold limbs. Untreated for a long time, it transforms into paralysis. Differentiate Yin and Yang for needling. Ineffectiveness may be due to insufficient needle force. Initially needle Fengchi (GB20), Hegu (LI4), and Sizhukong (TE23). Subsequently sedate Zusanli (ST36) to dispel wind. After needling, refer to points Sizhukong (TE23) and Xiedai (Jiexi ST41).
Red Swelling and Painful Eyes
This condition arises from unresolved Cold Damage combined with sexual activity, resulting in excess above and deficiency below, with Qi and Blood congested upward. Untreated head wind may cause blood to flood the pupil. Acute red swelling and pain, or anger injuring the Liver, sexual activity poisoning the Heart and Liver meridians, irregular diet, hunger, fullness, drunkenness, and fatigue all cause this condition. Heart Fire flares upward and does not dissipate. Postpartum women suffering from anger injuring the Liver, within the confinement period, cannot be cured instantly but gradually, ensuring efficacy. Initially needle Jingming (BL1), Linqi (GB15), and Hegu (LI4). If not healed, subsequently needle Fengchi (GB20), Taiyang (EX-HN5), and Xingjian (LR2).

Question: Why are Jingming, Yingxiang, Chengqi, and Sizhukong contraindicated for moxa?
Answer: These points are near the eyes, and the eyes fear fire, hence moxa is contraindicated. By analogy, Jingming cannot be moxa. For moxa on the head and face, cones should be the size of wheat grains, and excessive moxa should be avoided because the head and face are the summit of all Yang meridians. For the limbs, cones can be slightly larger; for the back and abdomen, they can be larger still, and excessive moxa is permissible. Excessive moxa on limbs causes them to become thin and withered. Thin individuals should be needled shallowly in spring and summer; obese individuals should be needled deeply in autumn and winter. This is the general principle of acupuncture and moxibustion.
Ancient practitioners used a washing method after moxibustion to extinguish the fire. Boil red-skinned green onions and mint leaves in water to wash the area around the burn wound for about one hour, driving out wind and dispersing it from the wound, ensuring smooth meridian flow and natural recovery. After the scab falls off from the moxa fire, wash with decoction of tender green bark from peach branches grown in the southeast to protect the wound from wind. If the wound is black and rotting, add cilantro to the wash. If pain is unbearable, add Coptis chinensis (Huanglian) to the wash, which is miraculous.
