There are ten acupoints in total.
Shenting (CV24): One point. Located five cun above the glabella, entering the hairline. It is the intersection of the Du Meridian (Conception Vessel), Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian, and Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian. It treats headache due to wind pathogen causing dizziness. Symptoms include continuous clear nasal discharge and tearing from the eyes. Moxibustion of fourteen moxa cones (two sevens) can stop these symptoms.
Qibo stated: When treating conditions caused by wind pathogens, one should not perform excessive moxibustion. This is because the nature of wind is light and ascending; excessive moxibustion will damage healthy qi. It is appropriate to perform seven moxa cones, up to a maximum of twenty-one moxa cones (three sevens). Acupuncture is contraindicated; if acupuncture is performed, it may induce madness. Foods to avoid include raw and cold items, chicken, pork, alcohol, wheat products, and other foods that may stir up wind pathogens.
Shangxing (GV23): One point. Located one cun above the glabella, entering the hairline, in the depression. It is where the Qi of the Du Meridian emerges. It treats headache due to wind pathogen causing dizziness, eye pain, and inability to see far. Pricking it with a fine three-edged needle can vent the heat of all Yang meridians, preventing heat from rushing upward to the head and eyes. Moxibustion of seven moxa cones is suitable; excessive moxibustion should be avoided. Frequent moxibustion may cause Qi to ascend reversely, leading to blurred vision. Contraindications are the same as mentioned above.
Xinhui (GV22): One point. Located one cun posterior to Shangxing, in the depression, capable of holding a bean. It is where the Qi of the Du Meridian emerges. It treats dizziness. Moxibustion of fourteen to forty-nine moxa cones (two sevens to seven sevens) is applicable. Initially, there is no pain during moxibustion; pain occurs only after the disease has subsided. If pain arises, cease moxibustion. Acupuncture depth is two cun; retain the needle for three breaths. Upon obtaining Deqi, apply the reducing method. After acupuncture, mix fine salt with raw sesame oil and rub it on the hair roots; this can permanently eliminate headache due to wind. For children under eight years old, acupuncture is prohibited. Contraindications are the same as mentioned above.
Qian Ding (GV21): One point. Located one and a half cun posterior to Xinhui, in the bony depression. It is where the Qi of the Du Meridian emerges. It treats headache due to wind pathogen causing dizziness. Acupuncture depth is one cun. Moxibustion of three to forty-nine moxa cones is applicable. Contraindications are the same as mentioned above.
Baihui (GV20): One point, also known as Sanyang Wuhui (Five Yangs Intersection). Located one and a half cun posterior to Qian Ding, in the center of the vertex where the hair whorl is, capable of holding a bean. The Du Meridian intersects with the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian at the vertex. Acupuncture depth is two cun; upon obtaining Deqi, apply the reducing method. Moxibustion of seven moxa cones, up to forty-nine moxa cones, is applicable. In the Tang Dynasty, Qin Minghe pricked this point to cause slight bleeding, which immediately cured the headache. Whenever moxibusting the vertex, do not exceed forty-nine moxa cones (seven sevens) because the skin on the top of the head is thin; excessive moxibustion is unsuitable.
Hou Ding (GV19): One point, also known as Jiaochong. Located one and a half cun posterior to Baihui, on the occipital bone. It is where the Qi of the Du Meridian emerges. It treats dizziness and unilateral headache. Moxibustion of five moxa cones is applicable. Acupuncture depth is three cun.
Qiangjian (GV18): One point, also known as Dayu. Located one and a half cun posterior to Hou Ding. It is where the Qi of the Du Meridian emerges. It treats vertigo accompanied by a sensation of spinning brain and unbearable severe headache. Moxibustion of seven moxa cones is applicable. Acupuncture depth is two cun.
Naohu (GV17): One point, also known as Helu. Located on the occipital bone, one and a half cun posterior to Qiangjian. It is the intersection of the Du Meridian and the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian. Acupuncture is strictly contraindicated; performing acupuncture may cause aphonia (loss of voice). It treats eye pain and inability to see far. Moxibustion of seven moxa cones is applicable, but arbitrary or excessive moxibustion must be avoided, as it may lead to aphonia.
Fengfu (GV16): One point, also known as Sheben. Located one cun above the nape hairline, within the depression inside the major tendons. The muscle rises immediately when speaking loudly and flattens when speech ceases. It is the intersection of the Du Meridian and the Yang Linking Vessel. Moxibustion is strictly contraindicated; accidental moxibustion may cause aphonia. It treats headache and dizziness. Acupuncture depth is three cun.
Yamen (GV15): One point, alternatively written as Yin. Also known as Sheheng and Sheyan. Located in the center of the vertex, five fen entering the hairline, in the depression. It is the intersection of the Du Meridian and the Yang Linking Vessel, extending to connect with the root of the tongue. Take the point with the patient's head tilted back.
