内牢在手心处。属凉。捞明月在此。点者。轻轻拂起。如蜻蜓之点水。退心热甚效。
外牢在手背居中。紧与内牢对。故亦名牢宫也。属热。揉之取汗。能治粪白不变。五谷不化。
肚腹泄泻诸病。又大热不退。揉此退之。是以火攻火之道也。一云左转生凉。右转生热。
大陵位在外牢下。手背末骨节处。在一窝风之上。从外牢推至大陵位者。取小儿吐痰。又大
陵反转至外牢。以泄心热。然以我手大指。左转三来。又必向右转一摩。左从重。右从轻。以取吐
泄神效。但此九重三轻手法。最易忽忘。须用心切记。方不错乱。若错乱。即不能吐矣。
(止吐止泻、此为要着、神效有谓取吐取泻者、则谬妄可恨矣。)
门穴。在大指下。高起一块平肉如板处。属胃脘。横纹者、大横纹也。手掌下一道大横纹。
门直推到横纹。止吐神效。横纹转推到 门。止泻神效。
若吐泄并作。先推止吐一半。然后合推。 门推去重(止吐)。若横纹推转轻(止泄)。治气促气攻之症。
推此即通快。吼胀亦揉 门。
总经在小天心下。内间史上。五指诸筋经络。总由此散去。故名总经。小儿惊风。手足掣跳。
横拿一个时辰。如不止。再掐大敦穴。大敦在足大指。男掐右足。女掐左足。若鹰爪惊。本穴掐后就揉。
内牢穴位于手心处。属性为凉。捞明月手法在此穴位操作。点法是指轻轻拂起,如同蜻蜓点水一般。此法退除心热效果显著。
外牢穴位于手背正中。与内牢相对且紧挨,因此也叫做牢宫。属性为热。揉搓此处可取汗,能治疗大便色白不变、五谷不化等症状。以及肚腹泄泻等各种疾病,还有大热不退的情况,揉搓此处可以退热,这是以火攻火的道理。另一种说法是左转产生凉性,右转产生热性。
大陵穴位于外牢穴下方,手背末端骨节处,在一窝风穴的上方。从外牢推至大陵穴,是为了让小儿吐出痰液。再从大陵反转推回外牢,用以泄除心热。操作时,用我的大拇指,先向左转三次,再向右转一次摩动。左边用力重,右边用力轻,以此取得催吐和导泻的神奇疗效。但这种“九重三轻”的手法最容易被人忽略遗忘,必须用心牢记,才不会出错乱。如果错乱,就不能起到催吐的作用了。
(注:止吐止泻是关键要点。所谓通过取吐或取泻来治疗的说法,则是荒谬可恨的。)
门穴位于大拇指下方,高起一块平坦如板的肌肉处。归属于胃脘。横纹指的是大横纹,即手掌下的一道大横纹。从门穴直推到横纹,止吐效果神奇。从横纹转推回门穴,止泻效果神奇。
如果呕吐和泄泻同时发生,先推治呕吐的一半量,然后合推。向门穴方向推时用力重(用于止吐)。从横纹推回时用力轻(用于止泻)。治疗气促、气攻的症状,推此穴即可通畅舒适。吼胀症也要揉门穴。
总经穴在小天心穴下方,内间史的上方。五指的各种筋络经络都由此散开,所以名叫总经。小儿患惊风,手足抽搐跳动,横拿一个时辰,如果不停止,再掐大敦穴。大敦穴在足大趾上,男孩掐右脚,女孩掐左脚。如果是鹰爪惊,在本穴掐完后要揉。
The Neilao (Inner Prison) acupoint is located at the center of the palm. It belongs to the Cold nature. The Laomingyue (Sweeping the Bright Moon) manipulation is performed here. The Dian (Pointing) technique involves gently brushing up, like a dragonfly touching the water. This method is highly effective in clearing Heart Heat.
The Wailao (Outer Prison) acupoint is located in the center of the back of the hand. It is tight and opposite to Neilao, thus also named Laogong (Prison Palace). It belongs to the Hot nature. Rubbing it induces sweating and can treat symptoms such as white stool that does not change, and undigested food. It treats various abdominal diarrhea diseases and persistent high fever. Rubbing this point reduces heat; this is the principle of using Fire to attack Fire. Another view states that counter-clockwise rotation generates Cold, while clockwise rotation generates Heat.
Daling (Great Palaces) acupoint is located below Wailao, at the distal interphalangeal joint on the back of the hand, above Yiwo Feng (A Nest of Wind). Pushing from Wailao to Daling aims to induce vomiting of phlegm in children. Reversing the push from Daling back to Wailao drains Heart Heat. Using the thumb, rotate left three times, then rub right once. Apply heavy pressure on the left and light pressure on the right to achieve miraculous effects in inducing vomiting and purging. However, this "Nine Heavy, Three Light" technique is easily forgotten and must be memorized carefully to avoid errors. If confused, vomiting cannot be induced.
(Note: Stopping vomiting and diarrhea is the key point. Claims that treatment relies solely on inducing vomiting or purging are absurd and detestable.)
Men (Gate) acupoint is located below the thumb, on a raised, flat, board-like fleshy area. It belongs to the Wei Wan (Stomach Epigastrium). The Hengwen (Transverse Crease) refers to the major transverse crease, the large horizontal line under the palm. Pushing straight from Men to the Hengwen stops vomiting miraculously. Rotating from the Hengwen back to Men stops diarrhea miraculously.
If vomiting and diarrhea occur simultaneously, first push for half the amount to stop vomiting, then perform combined pushing. Pushing towards Men should be heavy (to stop vomiting). Pushing back from the crease should be light (to stop diarrhea). For symptoms of shortness of breath and Qi attacking, pushing this point brings relief. Rou (Rub) Men for Hou Zhang (Roaring Distension).
Zongjing (General Meridian) is located below Xiaotianxin (Little Heavenly Heart), above Neijianshi (Inner Interspace History). The meridians and collaterals of the tendons of the five fingers disperse from here, hence the name Zongjing. For pediatric convulsions with twitching and jumping of limbs, hold the child horizontally for one shichen (two hours). If it does not stop, pinch Dadun (Great Rush) acupoint. Dadun is on the big toe; for boys, pinch the right foot; for girls, pinch the left foot. If it is Yingzhao Jing (Eagle Claw Convulsion), rub after pinching this point.
Xinjing (Heart Meridian) corresponds to Zhongchong (Middle Rush) acupoint at the tip of the finger. For pediatric convulsive death (apparent death from convulsions), pinch this point first to test. If the child cries out, it is treatable. If not, pinch Weiling (Mighty Spirit) acupoint to test again.
