凡是导致霍乱的原因，大多起因于饮食，或者是食用了生冷混杂的食物。因为吃了肥腻的酒肉，又当风行走、踏湿而行，穿着单薄衣服露天坐卧，或者夜间睡觉没有盖好被子所致。刚发病时务必让身体暖和起来，用炭火放在病人躺卧的地方，热度大时就移开一些，同时用蒸热的被絮或衣絮包裹。如果身边没有冷物易换热的东西，也可以烧烫地面，用热水浇淋铺上薄布，让病人睡在上面，并厚厚地覆盖衣物。也可以制作简易的温熨工具，将热汤装入瓮中，浸泡双脚，直至膝盖，并用铜器盛装热汤敷在腹部。用衣物覆盖保温，冷了再更换，也可以用熨斗盛火放在腹部。像这样处理后病情仍未缓解的，就紧急施灸，但要按照明确的穴位次序进行，不要胡乱施灸。必须针对病症才随病施灸。没有相应病症不要预先施灸。施灸虽然不能立即痊愈，但一定能保证不死。不要因为灸后没有立刻见效就停止施灸。治疗霍乱的艾丸，如果苦味不浓烈，壮数也不必太多，原本的说法是七壮即可，四五十壮也没有妨碍。只要火气下达就能活命，服用旧方中的理中丸，以及浓朴大豆豉通脉半夏汤。前辈使用的药物难以获得，现在只列出良好的灸法和几个单方，使用它们有效，并不比昂贵的药物差。已经死亡不久的人，还可以施灸。其他药物或许难以备齐，但理中丸、四顺浓朴等汤剂，可以不预先配制，每到秋末冬初，常买些药材随身携带。

All causes of Huoluan (acute gastroenteritis with vomiting and diarrhea) mostly originate from diet, such as consuming raw, cold, or mixed impure foods. This may result from eating fatty meats and drinking alcohol while exposed to wind and walking in dampness, wearing thin clothes and sitting outdoors, or sleeping at night without adequate covering. Upon initial onset, it is essential to keep the body warm by placing charcoal fire near where the patient lies; if the heat is too intense, move it away. Simultaneously, wrap the patient with steamed quilts or cotton-padded garments. If there are no readily available hot/cold exchange items, one can scorch the ground, pour hot water over a thin cloth laid on it, have the patient lie on top, and cover them thickly. Alternatively, prepare a simple warming device: place hot water in a jar, soak the feet up to the knees, and use a copper vessel filled with hot water placed on the abdomen. Cover with clothing for insulation, replacing when cool. One may also use an ironing iron filled with fire placed on the abdomen. If the condition does not clear after such measures, emergency moxibustion should be performed strictly according to a clear sequence of acupoints, avoiding random application. Moxibustion must be applied only corresponding to the specific disease symptoms; do not apply it prophylactically without indication. Although moxibustion may not cure immediately, it ensures survival. Do not stop moxibustion just because immediate relief is not observed. For treating Huoluan, if the mugwort pills are not potent enough, the number of moxa cones (Zhuang) need not be large; originally, seven Zhuang were considered sufficient, but forty to fifty Zhuang are also acceptable. As long as the heat penetrates, life can be saved. Administer old formulas such as Lizhong Wan (Regulate the Middle Pill) and Nongpo Daoudchi Tongmai Banxia Tang (Magnolia Bark, Soybean Fermented, and Pinellia Decoction to Unblock the Vessels). Medicines used by predecessors are hard to obtain; now, only good moxibustion methods and single prescriptions are listed, which are effective and not inferior to expensive medicines. Even those who have died recently can still be treated with moxibustion. Other medicines may be difficult to prepare, but Lizhong Wan and various decoctions like Sishun and Nongpo can be prepared in advance; purchase ingredients regularly during autumn and winter.
For sudden Huoluan presenting first with abdominal pain: Moxibustion above the umbilicus, 14 Zhuang, named Taicang (CV17 equivalent area), located four cun below the xiphoid process, measure carefully.
For those presenting first with severe diarrhea (Dongxia): Moxibustion one cun lateral to the umbilicus. Left side for males, right side for females, 14 Zhuang; severe cases up to 30-40 Zhuang. Acupoint name Dachangmu (Ex-LE5), suitable for draining method.
For those presenting first with vomiting: Moxibustion two cun below the xiphoid process, 14 Zhuang. This also treats persistent dysentery. For rebellious Qi ascending: Moxibustion 50 Zhuang, named Jueque (CV14), directly below the tip of the xiphoid process by one cun.
For those presenting first with cold extremities (Ni Leng): Moxibustion on the prominent bone above the medial malleolus of both feet, 7 Zhuang each foot; add more if necessary. Acupoint name Sanyinjiao (SP6), three cun above the tip of the medial malleolus.
For muscle spasms (Zhuanjin): Moxibustion at the center of the sole where the tendons gather under the big toe, 6-7 Zhuang, named Yongquan (KI1); also moxibustion in the middle of the crease under the big toe, 1 Zhuang, highly effective.
Another method: Moxibustion at the nail edge of the big toe, 7 Zhuang.
For spasms entering the abdomen causing pain: Have four people hold the limbs. Moxibustion two cun to the left of the umbilicus, 14 Zhuang; moxibustion on the large tendon in the thigh, one cun from the yin region.
For hiccups (Yue): Moxibustion at the first crease of the wrist, 7 Zhuang, named Xin Zhu (Neiguan PC6), opposite the middle finger.
For persistent diarrhea: Moxibustion on the medial side of the base of the big toe, one cun from the white flesh margin, 7 Zhuang on each side, named Dadu (SP2).
For dry retching: Moxibustion three cun posterior to the wrist crease, between the two tendons, 7 Zhuang on each side, named Jianshi (PC5). If true Jue syndrome with vomiting or apparent death occurs, moxibustion restores flow. The *Duanju* text has a formula for reviving the dead.
For simultaneous vomiting and diarrhea: Moxibustion between the two nipples. At the junction of the black nipple and the white skin near the abdomen, 7 Zhuang each, or up to 14 Zhuang.
If vomiting stops but diarrhea persists: Moxibustion one Fu width above the umbilicus, 7 Zhuang; alternatively, one cun two fen below the umbilicus, 7 Zhuang.
For feeling stifled and full: Moxibustion three cun below the xiphoid process, 7 Zhuang, named Weiguan (Jiuwei CV15).
Another method: Place salt in the umbilicus and moxibustion 14 Zhuang.
If pain reaches the umbilicus urgently: Moxibustion three cun below the umbilicus, 3x7=21 Zhuang, named Guanyuan (CV4), effective.
Mysterious moxibustion method for reviving Huoluan patients: Use an object to horizontally measure across the Renzhong (GV26), bending from the heart's Jiwei (CV15) flying across downwards to moxibust. Finish central moxibustion first, then horizontally moxibust left and right. Also moxibust on the spine, using an object to circle so it aligns with the xiphoid, and one cun left and right of the spine, 7 Zhuang each; this constitutes three points on the front and back.
Hua Tuo treated Huoluan patients who appeared dead, calling for their souls from rooftops, and applying all treatments without success.
Hold the patient's abdomen while they lie prone, extend arms, measure with a rope from end to end. Based on the elbow tips aligned with the rope, clamp the large bone of the spinal column, one cun from the spine on each side, moxibustion 100 Zhuang. If not cured, moxibust the Zhoushui (DU12) acupoint. Tested on hundreds, all sat up immediately after treatment. Hua Tuo passed this technique to his descendants, keeping it secret.
The above are all moxibustion methods.
Formula for treating Huoluan with heart/abdominal distension/pain, stifling sensation, shortness of breath, before vomiting or purging can occur.
Two sheng of salt, five sheng of water, boil to two sheng, take once. Cured if vomiting occurs.
Another method: Ginger (fresh or dried, 1-2 sheng), chopped, six sheng of water, boil three times, take once. If not cured immediately, reboil; old dregs are acceptable.
Another method: Drink three sheng of good sour wine (Ku Jiu). Weak or thin patients drink 1-2 sheng.
Another method: Warm wine 1-2 sheng, add a wax pill the size of a bullet, melt and drink. If no wax, substitute with two Fang Cun Bi of salt.
Another method: Half sheng of Cassia bark powder, mix with two sheng of warm water, drink all.
Another method: Concentrated Bamboo Leaf Decoction 5-6 sheng, use hot to compress/spasm areas.
