(此法治疗积聚病症屡试屡验)
这是运化开导积痰、积气所致痞疾的关键方法。所谓“弦”,是指勒住肘骨,位置在两胁上方。操作时,由一人抱着小儿坐在怀中,将小儿的双手交叉搭在小儿自己的两肩上,施术者用双手在小儿两胁处搓摩,直至肚角下方。这样积痰和积气自然得以运化消散。如果是久治不愈的痞疾,则非一日之功,必须长时间搓摩才能见效。
此法是治疗小儿四肢抽搐跳动的好方法。该手法性质温和。施术者用食指和中指,从小儿的总经穴开始,手指交替按压前行,颤抖着行进直到曲池穴凹陷处,进行重揉。此时感觉头部如圆珠滚动落下,因此得名“戏珠”。此法对应半表半里证。
此法是解除大小便闭塞不通的妙法。操作时,施术者右手捏住小儿的食指和中指,左手托住小儿的肘部穴位,拉扯摇动若干次数,形状好似双龙摆尾。或者也可以用右手拿住小儿的食指,左手拿住小儿的小指,向下摇拽,效果也类似。
此法是剿灭疟疾,并消除犬吠样咳嗽及人喝声症状的好方法。也能治疗寒气、除痰退热。操作时,施术者用两手的大拇指和食指提起小儿两耳尖,向上提若干次数,又拉扯两耳垂,向下拉若干次数,动作状如猿猴摘果。
(此法治疗痢疾和水泻有神奇疗效)
这是治疗泄泻痢疾的好方法。“龟尾”是指脊骨尽头的长强穴(闾尾穴)。“七节骨”是从头骨往下数的第七节椎骨。操作时,施术者一手用三指揉脐中,另一手托住并揉按龟尾穴。揉完后,从龟尾穴向上擦至七节骨为补法,水泻专用补法。如果是赤白痢疾,则必须从七节骨向下擦至龟尾穴为泻法。推第二次时,再用补法。这是因为要先去除大肠的热毒,然后才可以进补。如果是伤寒之后出现的骨节疼痛,则专门从七节骨擦向龟尾。
此法是消除腹胀、舒缓气喘的好方法。能通关顺气,不论寒热证候,都是必用的功效手法。操作时,施术者左手用食指和中指,掐按小儿曲池穴内侧,形成凤眼状;右手仰面拿住小儿的食指、中指、无名指和小指进行摇动,动作状似凤凰摇头。
(This method for treating accumulations has proven effective in repeated trials.)
This is the essential technique for resolving stagnation of phlegm and qi causing epigastric fullness (pi ji). "Xian" refers to securing the elbow bone, located above the hypochondrium. The procedure involves one person holding the infant sitting on their lap. The infant's hands are crossed and placed on their own shoulders. The practitioner uses both hands to rub and massage the infant's hypochondriac regions down to the lower abdomen corners. This naturally facilitates the transformation and dispersion of accumulated phlegm and qi. If the condition is chronic, it requires more than a single day; prolonged rubbing and massaging are necessary for efficacy.
This is an excellent method for treating spasmodic twitching of the limbs in infants. The nature of this technique is warm. The practitioner uses the index and middle fingers to press along the Zongjing meridian of the child, alternating finger pressure while trembling forward until reaching the depression of Quchi (LI11), where heavy kneading is applied. The sensation resembles round pearls rolling down, hence the name "Playing with Pearls." It corresponds to the Shaoyang syndrome (half-exterior, half-interior).
This is a subtle method for relieving constipation of both large and small intestines. The practitioner holds the infant's index and middle fingers with the right hand and supports the infant's elbow acupoint with the left hand, pulling and shaking them several times, resembling the posture of two dragons swinging their tails. Alternatively, the practitioner may hold the infant's index finger with the right hand and the little finger with the left hand, shaking and pulling downward, which yields a similar effect.
This is an excellent method for combating malaria and eliminating symptoms such as barking cough and human-like gasping. It can also treat cold pathogen accumulation, resolve phlegm, and reduce fever. The practitioner uses the thumbs and index fingers of both hands to lift the tips of the infant's ears upward for a certain number of repetitions, then pulls the earlobes downward for a certain number of repetitions, mimicking the action of a monkey picking fruit.
(This method is miraculous for treating dysentery and watery diarrhea.)
This is a good method for treating diarrhea and dysentery. "Guitail" refers to the Changqiang point (DU1) at the end of the spinal column. "Seven-Section Bone" refers to the seventh vertebra counted from the head. The practitioner uses one hand to rub the umbilicus with three fingers, and the other hand to support and rub Guitail. After rubbing, wiping upward from Guitail to the Seven-Section Bone constitutes the Tonification method, which is specifically used for watery diarrhea. For bloody and purulent dysentery, one must wipe downward from the Seven-Section Bone to Guitail, constituting the Purging method. On the second push, tonification is applied again. This is because the heat toxin in the Large Intestine must first be cleared before tonification can be administered. In cases of joint pain following Taiyang disease (Shanghan), wiping exclusively from the Seven-Section Bone to Guitail is indicated.
This is an excellent method for reducing abdominal distension and relieving asthma. It unblocks passages and regulates qi, applicable regardless of cold or heat patterns, serving as an indispensable technique. The practitioner uses the index and middle fingers of the left hand to pinch and press the inner side of the infant's Quchi (LI11) acupoint, forming a "Phoenix Eye" shape. The right hand then holds the infant's index, middle, ring, and little fingers palm-up and shakes them, resembling the motion of a phoenix shaking its head.
