先贤论咳嗽，以有声为咳，有痰为嗽，有声有痰为咳嗽。其初起多因于风寒，延久多成于虚损。若咳甚欲吐，灸身
柱。因痰而嗽，灸足三里。气促咳逆，觉从左升，易于动怒者，灸肝俞。咳嗽见血者，灸肺俞，或灸行间。吐脓者，灸
期门。日久成劳者，灸膏肓弗误。

喘病之因有四∶有因寒邪入肺而喘者，有因病阻肺气而喘者，有因水停心下而喘者，有因肾不纳气而喘者。统宜先
灸天突，次灸中脘，甚则兼灸肺俞。所有哮喘不得卧者，须灸灵台。行动遂喘急者，须灸气海。得能按穴灸之，去沉
犹拔刺耳。

书谓∶吐血成升斗者属胃血也，其余咯血属心，呕血属肝，咳血属肺，唾血属肾。凡有一概血症，总当先灸胆俞。
血痰灸其上脘。咯血喉中有声，灸其天突。如五劳七伤，诸虚百损而患血者，灸其膏肓，弗可缓也。据（管见），暴患之
血症，实火为多，不宜辄灸；灸患之血症，虚火不少，用灸无妨，切须辨之。
胆俞、上脘（并见劳伤。）
天突（见喘症。）
膏肓（见劳伤。）
先贤论述咳嗽，认为只有声音的是“咳”，有痰液的是“嗽”，既有声音又有痰液的是“咳嗽”。疾病初起多因风寒邪气所致，病程迁延日久多转化为虚损证。如果咳嗽剧烈导致想呕吐，应艾灸身柱穴。因痰湿引起的咳嗽，应艾灸足三里穴。呼吸急促、咳嗽气逆，且感觉气机从左胁上升、容易发怒的，应艾灸肝俞穴。咳嗽带血的，应艾灸肺俞穴，或者艾灸行间穴。咳吐脓血的，应灸期门穴。久病成劳损的，艾灸膏肓穴不会出错。

喘病的病因有四种：有因寒邪侵入肺部而致喘的，有因病邪阻滞肺气而致喘的，有水饮停聚在心下而致喘的，有因肾不纳气而致喘的。总体治疗宜先艾灸天突穴，其次艾灸中脘穴，病情严重的则兼灸肺俞穴。所有哮喘严重到无法平卧的，必须艾灸灵台穴。稍微活动就喘息急促的，必须艾灸气海穴。能够准确按穴施灸，去除陈年积疾就像拔除耳朵里的刺一样容易。

书中记载：吐血达到升斗量的属于胃出血，其余咯血属于心，呕血属于肝，咳血属于肺，唾血属于肾。凡是有一般血症，总应当先艾灸胆俞穴。血痰者艾灸其上脘穴。咯血且喉中有声响的，艾灸其天突穴。如果是五劳七伤、各种虚损导致的出血，艾灸其膏肓穴，不可拖延。根据我的见解，突发性的血症，多为实火，不宜随意施灸；慢性发作的血症，虚火也不少，使用艾灸没有妨碍，务必仔细辨别。
The sages discussed cough, stating that sound alone is "ke" (cough), phlegm alone is "sou" (expectoration), and both sound and phlegm together constitute "késou" (cough with expectoration). The initial onset is often due to Wind-Cold pathogenic factors, while prolonged duration often results in Deficiency and Damage syndromes. If the cough is severe enough to induce vomiting, moxa should be applied to Shenzhu (GV12). For cough caused by phlegm, moxa should be applied to Zusanli (ST36). For shortness of breath, reverse flow of Qi causing cough, where Qi sensation rises from the left side and anger is easily provoked, moxa should be applied to Ganshu (BL18). For coughing up blood, moxa should be applied to Feishu (BL13) or Xingjian (LR2). For expectorating pus, moxa should be applied to Qimen (LR14). For chronic conditions developing into consumption (Lao), moxa should be applied to Gaohuang (BL43) without error.

There are four causes for Asthma (Chuan Bing): one is asthma due to Cold-Evil invading the Lungs; another is asthma due to pathological obstruction of Lung Qi; a third is asthma due to Water retention under the Heart; and the fourth is asthma due to the Kidneys failing to grasp Qi. Generally, it is advisable to first apply moxa to Tiantu (CV22), then to Zhongwan (CV12), and in severe cases, additionally to Feishu (BL13). For all cases of Asthma where the patient cannot lie flat, Lingtai (GV10) must be moxibusted. For those who experience rapid panting upon movement, Qihai (CV6) must be moxibusted. By accurately applying moxa to these acupoints, removing deep-seated pathogens is as easy as pulling a thorn from the ear.

Texts state: Hematemesis reaching sheng or dou volumes belongs to Stomach Blood; other forms of hemoptysis belong to the Heart; vomiting blood belongs to the Liver; coughing blood belongs to the Lungs; and spitting blood belongs to the Kidneys. For any general Blood Disorder, one should generally first apply moxa to Danshu (BL19). For bloody phlegm, apply moxa to Shangwan (CV13). For hemoptysis with sound in the throat, apply moxa to Tiantu (CV22). In cases of Five Wastes and Seven Injuries, involving various deficiencies and damages leading to bleeding, apply moxa to Gaohuang (BL43); this should not be delayed. According to my personal insight, acute onset of Blood Disorders is mostly due to Excess Fire and should not be treated with moxa arbitrarily; however, chronic or recurrent Blood Disorders often involve Deficient Fire, and using moxa is permissible. Careful differentiation is essential.
