天河穴。位于手臂中间。从小天心(坎宫)处开始,一直延伸到肘部的曲池穴。清天河水的方法:用我的三指或二指,从手腕的大横纹推向曲池穴,以起到清凉退热的作用,并治疗淋证、昏睡,对一切火症都有奇效。
中脘穴。位于心窝下方,属于胃腑所在。饮食积滞常停留于此。揉中脘的方法:让小儿仰卧,用我的手掌按住该部位进行揉动。左右揉动,可以使积滞和食闷得到消化。
涌泉穴。位于脚底着地处的凹陷中。左揉可止吐,右揉可止泻。男性操作时遵循此法,女性则相反(即左揉止泻,右揉止吐)。具体为男取右脚,女取左脚。此法退烦热效果也很好,能引热下行。
一窝风穴。位于大陵穴稍下方。掐此穴能止腹痛,无论是久病还是慢惊风均可使用。

天枢穴。位于膻中穴两旁、两乳下方。揉此穴可化痰止咳。其揉法为:用我的食指和中指呈八字分开,按住该部位进行揉动。
蟹穴。位于脚面弯曲处。小儿出现内吊惊(惊风的一种表现,手足拘挛向内),身体向后仰时,掐此穴随即揉动。
委中穴。位于腿弯处。小儿脚部不能收缩时,重拿此穴,向前蹼状掐之。
承山穴位于小腿肚中。又名鱼肚穴。一把拿捏此穴,小儿就会入睡。此穴又治喘咳,掐后随即揉动。男性取右侧,女性取左侧。
鸠尾穴在心窝上方,覆盖心骨之处。脐即肚脐,又名神阙穴。揉脐的方法:用我的右手掌,从小儿的关元穴开始,向右拂拭向上至鸠尾穴,再向左旋转向下,如此循环多次。这是因为小儿的“天一真水”在此处,采用“取水来克火”的原理。身体发热严重者,必须使用此法。需用三指才有力道,若用手心则力道不足。所谓“寒掌热指”,是指搓热手心后揉脐。
Tianhe Shu (River of Heaven Point). Located in the middle of the arm. Starting from Xiaotianxin (Little Sky Heart, located at Kan Gong) all the way to Quchi (Pool at the Crook, the elbow crease). To clear Tianhe: using three or two fingers of my hand, push from Dahengwen (Great Transverse Crease, wrist crease) towards Quchi to obtain cooling and reduce fever. It also treats Lin syndrome (dysuria), lethargy, and is excellent for all types of Fire syndromes.
Zhongwan (Middle Stomach). Located below the epigastrium, it is the region of the Wei Fu (Stomach Organ). Food stagnation often remains here. To rub Zhongwan: have the infant lie supine. Press with the palm of my hand and rub. Rubbing left and right will digest the stagnation and food fullness.
Yongquan (Springing Fountain). Located in the depression on the sole of the foot where it does not touch the ground. Rubbing the left side stops vomiting; rubbing the right side stops diarrhea. For males, follow this method; for females, reverse it (left stops diarrhea, right stops vomiting). Specifically, use the right foot for males and the left foot for females. This method is also effective for reducing irritability and heat, guiding heat downward.
Yiwofeng (A Nest of Wind). Located slightly below Daling. Pinching this point can stop abdominal pain. It can be used for chronic illness or slow convulsions.
Yangchi (Sun Pool). Located below Yiwofeng. Pinching this point specifically treats headache.
Neiguan (Inner Pass, text says "Neijianshi"). Located about one cun below the main meridian line, on the path of clearing Tianhe. Pinching this point can arrest malaria.
Danzhong (Chest Center). Located in the depression of the sternum in the front of the chest. Fengmen (Wind Gate). Located on the back, opposite Danzhong. To rub these points: use both hands to press the two points on the front and back of the infant simultaneously and rub them together to dispel wind-cold pathogenic heat from the lungs, treating symptoms such as asthma and cough.
Pinch the five knuckles on the back of the palm. This expels wind and resolves phlegm, revives consciousness, and opens blockages.
Xiedai (Shoe Strap Point). Located above the heel. If an infant faints due to fright, heavy manipulation of this point will awaken them; prolonged manipulation ensures recovery.
Tianshu (Heaven Pivot). Located on both sides of Danzhong, below the nipples. Rubbing this point resolves phlegm and stops cough. The method: spread the index finger and middle finger in a figure-eight shape, press, and rub.
Xie (Crab Point). Located at the bend of the dorsum of the foot. If an infant suffers from internal-drawing fright (a type of convulsion with inward flexion of limbs) and arches backward, pinch this point and then rub.
Weizhong (Central Palm). Located in the popliteal fossa (bend of the leg). If the infant's feet do not flex, manipulate heavily. Pinch forward in a web-like manner.
Chengshan (Supporting Mountain). Located in the calf muscle. Also known as Yudao (Fish Belly). Grasp with one hand; manipulating this point makes the infant sleep. It also treats asthma. Pinch and then rub. Use the right side for males and the left for females.
Jiuwei (Nine Tails). Located above the epigastrium, covering the xiphoid process. Qi (Navel) is the umbilicus, also known as Shenque (Spiritual Reservoir). To rub the navel: use the palm of the right hand, starting from Guanyuan (Gate of Origin), stroke upwards to Jiuwei on the right, then rotate downwards to the left, repeating several times. This is because the Tianyi Zhen Shui (True Water of Heavenly One) resides here, employing the principle of "using water to overcome fire." For severe body heat, this method must be used. Three fingers are required to apply sufficient force; using the palm alone lacks strength. "Cold palm, hot fingers" refers to warming the palm by rubbing before rubbing the navel.
