(共计十个穴位)
1.神庭:一个穴位,位于鼻根直上,入发际五分处。是督脉、足太阳膀胱经和足阳明胃经三条经脉的交会穴。治疗癫疾风痫(癫痫发作伴有抽搐),戴目(眼球上翻不能转动且不认识人),头风(头部风邪引起的头痛),目眩(头晕眼花),鼻流清涕不止,眼泪流出,惊悸(心慌心跳)无法安睡。可以艾灸十四壮,最多至四十九壮停止。岐伯说:凡是想要治疗风病,不要令艾灸过多,因为风性轻扬,灸多了就会损伤正气。只适宜灸七壮到二十一壮为止,禁止针刺,如果针刺会导致发狂,忌食生冷、鸡肉、猪肉、酒、面食以及容易引动风邪的食物等。
2.上星:一个穴位,位于鼻根直上,入发际一寸处的凹陷中,是督脉之气所发之处。治疗头风,面部虚肿,鼻塞闻不到香味和臭味,头晕眼花,痰疟(伴有痰湿的疟疾)寒战,热病无汗,眼睛疼痛不能远视。用细三棱针针刺它,即可宣泄诸阳经的热气,不让热气上冲头部和眼睛。可以艾灸七壮,不宜多灸。如果频繁艾灸,会使气机上逆,导致视力不明,禁忌事项同前法。
3.囟会:一个穴位,在上星穴后一寸处的凹陷中,可容纳一颗豆子,是督脉之气所发之处。治疗头晕眼花,面部肿胀,鼻塞闻不到香味和臭味,惊痫,戴目不识人。可以艾灸十四壮,最多至四十九壮。刚开始艾灸时不痛,病去之后才会痛,痛了就停止艾灸。如果是鼻塞,灸到第四天症状逐渐消退,七天彻底痊愈。针刺深度二分,留针三个呼吸的时间,得气后即行泻法。头风,头皮生白屑,嗜睡,针刺效果更佳。针刺完毕后,用盐末和生麻油调和涂抹擦拭发根下,头风即可永远去除。如果是八岁以下儿童,不得针刺。这是因为囟门未闭合,刺之不幸会导致夭折。忌食热面、猪肉、鱼类食物等。
4.前顶:一个穴位,在囟会后一寸半的骨陷中,是督脉之气所发之处。据甄权《针经》记载是一寸,现在根据《素问》定为五寸。治疗头风头晕,面部红赤肿胀,小儿惊痫,风痫抽搐,发作没有定时,鼻涕多且清稀,头顶肿痛。针刺深度一分,可以艾灸三壮,最多至四十九壮即止,禁忌事项同前法。

(A total of ten acupoints)
1. Shenting (GV24, Spirit Court): One acupoint located directly above the root of the nose, five fen into the hairline. It is the meeting point of the Du Meridian (Conception Vessel), Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian, and Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian. Treats epilepsy with wind-phlegm (epileptic seizures accompanied by convulsions), Dai Mu (eyes rolling upward unable to move and failing to recognize people), Tou Feng (headwind headache caused by wind pathogen), dizziness, persistent clear nasal discharge, lacrimation, palpitations (heart flustered and frightened), and insomnia. Moxibustion can be applied for fourteen moxa cones, stopping at a maximum of forty-nine cones. Qibo stated: When treating wind diseases, one should not apply excessive moxibustion, because wind nature is light and ascending; excessive moxibustion will damage healthy Qi. It is suitable to apply seven to twenty-one cones. Acupuncture is prohibited; needling may induce madness. Avoid raw/cold foods, chicken, pork, alcohol, wheat products, and other foods that may stir up wind.
2. Shangxing (GV23, Upper Star): One acupoint located directly above the root of the nose, one cun into the hairline in the depression, where the Qi of the Du Meridian emerges. Treats Tou Feng, facial edema, nasal congestion with loss of smell, dizziness, phlegmatic malaria with chills, febrile disease with anhidrosis (no sweat), and eye pain preventing distant vision. Puncture with a fine three-edged needle to vent the heat of all Yang meridians, preventing it from rushing upward to the head and eyes. Moxibustion of seven cones is permissible, but excessive moxibustion is not advised. Frequent moxibustion may cause Qi rebellion, leading to blurred vision. Taboos are the same as above.
3. Xihui (GV22, Fontanel Meeting): One acupoint located one cun posterior to Shangxing in the depression, large enough to hold a bean, where the Qi of the Du Meridian emerges. Treats dizziness, facial swelling, nasal congestion with loss of smell, fright-epilepsy, and Dai Mu. Moxibustion of fourteen cones, up to forty-nine cones. Initially, there is no pain during moxibustion; pain occurs only after the disease subsides; stop moxibustion if pain arises. For nasal congestion, symptoms gradually recede by the fourth day and resolve completely by the seventh day. Needle insertion depth is two fen; retain needles for three breaths, and perform reducing method upon obtaining Deqi (arrival of Qi). For Tou Feng, scalp scaling, and hypersomnia, acupuncture yields better results. After needling, rub the hair roots with a mixture of salt powder and raw sesame oil to permanently eliminate Tou Feng. Children under eight years old must not be needled, as the fontanelle is not yet closed; accidental puncture may lead to premature death. Avoid hot wheat noodles, pork, and fish.
4. Qanding (GV21, Frontal Vertex): One acupoint located in the bony depression one and a half cun posterior to Xihui, where the Qi of the Du Meridian emerges. According to Zhen Quan's *Zhen Jing*, it is one cun, but currently fixed at one and a half cun based on *Su Wen*. Treats Tou Feng and dizziness, facial redness and swelling, pediatric fright-epilepsy, wind-epilepsy with spasms occurring irregularly, profuse clear nasal discharge, and vertex swelling/pain. Needle insertion depth is one fen; moxibustion of three cones, up to forty-nine cones. Taboos are the same as above.
5. Baihui (GV20, Hundred Convergences): One acupoint, also known as Sanyang Wuhui (Five Meetings of Three Yangs). Located one and a half cun posterior to Qanding, in the center of the vertex within the whorl of hair, large enough to hold a bean. The Du Meridian and Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian converge here at the vertex. Treats pediatric rectal prolapse refractory to treatment, wind-epilepsy and stroke, opisthotonos (body bent backward like a bow), excessive crying, inappropriate speech, irregular attacks, frothing at the mouth when severe, restlessness, palpitations, forgetfulness, malarial fever, tinnitus, deafness, nasal congestion with loss of smell. Needle insertion depth is two fen; perform reducing method upon obtaining Deqi. Moxibustion of seven cones, up to forty-nine cones. In the Tang Dynasty, Qin Minghe treated headache instantly by causing slight bleeding at this point. When moxibusting the vertex, do not exceed forty-nine cones, as the skin on the vertex is thin, and excessive moxibustion is inadvisable.
6. Houding (GV19, Posterior Vertex): One acupoint, also known as Jiaochong. Located one and a half cun posterior to Baihui, above the occipital bone, where the Qi of the Du Meridian emerges. Treats eye discomfort, neck and nape aversion to wind and cold, dizziness, and unilateral headache. Moxibustion of five cones; needle insertion depth is three fen.

Moxibustion of seven cones; needle insertion depth is two fen.
8. Naohu (GV17, Brain Door): One acupoint, also known as Helu. Located above the occipital bone, one and a half cun posterior to Jiangjian, the meeting point of the Du Meridian and Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian. Acupuncture is prohibited; needling causes aphonia (loss of voice). Treats eye pain preventing distant vision, facial redness, yellow eyes, and head swelling. Moxibustion of seven cones is permissible, but arbitrary or excessive moxibustion must be avoided to prevent aphonia.

10. Yamen (GV15,哑 Gate): One acupoint, alternatively written as "Yin", also known as Sheheng and Sheyan. Located in the center of the nape, five fen into the hairline in the depression. It is the meeting point of the Du Meridian and Yang Wei Mai, extending to connect with the base of the tongue. Take the point with the head raised.
