Acupuncture treatment for leprosy (Hansen's disease): Prick the swelling directly. After pricking, use a sharp needle to puncture the site, press to expel the pathogenic qi. Stop when the swelling subsides completely. Maintain a specific diet during this period; do not consume other foods. (*Ling Shu*)
○ Disease: Severe wind syndrome characterized by heavy joints and loss of eyebrows and beard is called "Great Wind." Treat by needling muscles until sweating occurs for one hundred days; treat by needling bone marrow until sweating occurs for another hundred days. In total two hundred days, stop needling once eyebrows and beard regrow. (*Nei Jing*)
○ Leprosy: Use a three-edged needle to inspect areas with purple-black discoloration of the flesh, as well as Weizhong (BL40).
○ Purple vessels indicate stasis blood; however, do not drain excessively to avoid damaging true qi. (*Zheng Chuan*)
Moxibustion treatment for scrofula: Place the hand palm-up on the shoulder, slightly raise the elbow to locate the point at the tip of the olecranon. Apply moxibustion to seven or fourteen cones on the affected side for miraculous effect. (*De Xiao*)
○ Another method: Measure three and a half cun vertically upward from the transverse crease at the end of the wrist towards the center of the arm. This is the point. Apply three cones of moxibustion for immediate effect. (*Dan Xin*)
○ Acupuncture method: Jianjian (Shoulder Tip) and Zhoujian (Elbow Tip), corresponding to Jianyu (LI15) and Zhouliao (SI11), should be treated with moxibustion to unblock meridians and collaterals. (*Liang Fang*)
○ Apply seven cones of moxibustion on the nodule; applying moxibustion through garlic slices is particularly excellent. (*Zi Sheng*)
Moxibustion treatment for goiter: Moxibustion on Tiantu (CV22) for thirty-seven cones. Also moxibustion on Jianyu (LI15). For men: left side eighteen cones, right side seventeen cones; for women: right side eighteen cones, left side seventeen cones. Excellent results. (*De Xiao*)
Moxibustion method: For chronic draining sores, apply three cones of moxibustion one cun above the medial malleolus of the foot. If located higher, apply moxibustion to Jianjing (GB21) and Jiutui (CV15). (Dong Yuan)
○ Cold draining sores often occur between the legs and feet. Although initially caused by accumulated heat, moxibustion may induce cold sensations. It is suitable to use Fuzi Moxibustion (Aconite Moxibustion) and Liuhuang Moxibustion (Sulfur Moxibustion) methods (both methods are described under Carbuncles and Ulcers).
If a moxa sore becomes a fistula with continuous purulent discharge, even after removal, moxibustion is still appropriate. (*Dan Xin*)
Acupuncture and moxibustion treatment for sores, tinea, and stubborn psoriasis: Select Juegu (GB39), Sanli (ST36), Jianshi (PC5), Jiexi (ST41), and Weizhong (BL40); either needle or moxibustate. (*Gang Mu*)
○ Hand tinea: Needle Laogong (PC8), moxibustate Daling (PC7). (*Gang Mu*)
○ Generalized sores and tinea: Select Quchi (LI11), Hegu (LI4), Sanli (ST36), Juegu (GB39), Xingjian (LR2), and Weizhong (BL40). (*Gang Mu*)
○ Treatment for tinea: On the eighth day of the eighth lunar month at sunrise, have the patient kneel facing east with hands raised. Locate the depression at the lateral edge of the acromion where the bone meets. Apply seven cones of moxibustion to both left and right points. Cure within seven days. (*Zi Sheng*)
○ A woman had damp tinea between her thighs extending to the knees, with itching, pain, and yellow fluid discharge, unresponsive to hundreds of medicines. Dai Ren used needles to prick over a hundred spots where it itched most, until all blood was drained, then washed four times with boiled salt water to completely remove dampness and stasis blood. Needling is indispensable in such cases. (Zi He)
