Another method for locating an acupoint: Use a string to measure the circumference of the left wrist in males or the right wrist in females. Place one end of the string at Da Zhui (GV14) and extend it downwards along the spine to the middle of the back. The point where the string ends indicates the acupoint. Moxibustion: 21 cones.

Another method for locating an acupoint: Locate the fleshy area slightly anterior to the base of the thumb on the palm, approximately half a finger-width from the inner edge of the thenar crease. This point is opposite to He Gu (LI4) laterally. Pressing here elicits intense soreness. This corresponds to Chang Qiang (GV1). Moxibustion: 7 cones per point. This is highly effective.
[Chuan Shi Lao (Consumptive Disease/Tuberculosis)]
First generation: Pathogen affects the Heart. Moxibustion on Xin Shu (BL15) and surrounding points arranged in the pattern of "Four Flowers." Second generation: Moxibustion on Fei Shu (BL13) four points as before. Third generation: Moxibustion on Gan Shu (BL18) four points as before. Fourth generation: Moxibustion on Jue Yin Shu (BL14) four points as before. Fifth generation: Moxibustion on Shen Shu (BL23) four points as before. Sixth generation: Moxibustion on San Jiao Shu (BL22) four points as before.
This condition alternates between five days of mild symptoms and five days of severe symptoms. Moxibustion should be performed on the mild days when the "pathogen" is considered to be in a state of intoxication/sleep.
Another method: Moxibustion on Yao Yan (Waist Eye) points. (See Volume 10 of Tu Yi for details.)
Another method: To expel the "lao worm," moxibustion can be applied to one point above the third thoracic vertebra and both Gao Huang (BL43) points, 7 cones each. Follow this with dietary regulation and administration of vermifuge medications.

[Severe Abdominal Pain due to Yin-Cold]
In cases where severe, frequent, and critical abdominal pain around the umbilicus occurs after sexual intercourse or exposure to cold, immediately prepare a cake from powdered Da Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata) mixed with saliva. Place the cake, sized like a large coin and of moderate thickness, on the umbilicus. Apply large moxa cones over it. If Da Fu Zi is unavailable, fresh ginger slices or scallion white slices can be used as substitutes. If the medicinal cake burns or becomes too hot, moisten it with saliva or replace it. Continue until the patient sweats and body temperature normalizes. Additionally, apply 14 cones (two sets of seven) to Qi Hai (CV6), Dan Tian (CV4/CV6 area), and Guan Yuan (CV4) to facilitate the flow of Yang Qi internally, force out the cold externally, warm the extremities, restore the pulse, thereby eliminating Yin Cold and restoring Yang.
