针灸治疗各种痰饮病,选取丰隆穴、中脘穴。○胸中有痰饮,出现呕吐逆气、不能进食的症状,选取巨阙穴、足三里穴(出自《纲目》)。○溢饮病选取中脘穴(出自《甲乙经》)。○三焦停聚水气,导致食欲不振,选取维道穴、中封穴、胃俞穴、肾俞穴(出自李东垣)。○痰涎引起的疾病种类繁多,难以一一列举,只有劳瘵病伴有痰饮的最难治疗,最适合尽早艾灸膏肓穴;施灸壮数较多时,应当有所排泄物排出,然而像流水一样排出的就是痰液(出自《资生经》)。
针灸治疗月经不调,选取阴交穴、中极穴、三阴交穴、肾俞穴、气海穴(出自《纲目》)。○月经闭止不通,选取中极穴、三阴交穴、肾俞穴、合谷穴、四满穴、足三里穴。○崩漏症出血不止,选取血海穴、阴谷穴、三阴交穴、行间穴、大冲穴、中极穴(出自《纲目》)。○赤白带下,选取中极穴、肾俞穴、气海穴、三阴交穴、章门穴、行间穴。○带脉穴艾灸治疗赤白带下最为奇特:有一位女性患此病,艾灸此穴后感觉如鬼附身,说“灸着我,我就离开了”,不久后病就好了(出自《资生经》)。○崔氏的四花穴治疗带下病效果如神(出自《纲目》)。○赤带选取中极穴、气海穴、委中穴。○白带选取曲骨穴、承浆穴、中极穴(出自《纲目》)。○月经断绝很久后突然发生大量崩漏,选取丰隆穴、石门穴、天枢穴、中脘穴、气海穴(出自《纲目》)。
针灸治疗骨蒸传尸劳瘵,宜尽早艾灸崔氏的四花穴(详见针灸部分),晚了就来不及了(出自《入门》)。○瘵虫居住在肺间,侵蚀肺系,所以咯血、声音嘶哑,这就是所谓的“膏之上,肓之下”,针刺达不到,药物也治不好,宜尽早艾灸膏肓穴、肺俞穴、四花穴为佳(出自《入门》)。○治疗劳瘵病,在癸亥日半夜三更、六神皆聚之时,解开上身衣服,在腰部两侧微陷处称为腰眼,直立身体平站,用笔点定位置,然后上床俯卧,每次灼烧小艾炷灸七壮,虫子或从口吐出或从大便排出即平安,名叫遇仙灸(出自《得效方》)。○提前一天点定腰眼穴,到半夜子时交接癸亥日期便灸七壮,或者九壮、十一壮尤其妙,虫子从大便排出就焚烧它(出自《医鉴》)。○骨蒸劳热灸膏肓穴、足三里穴。○劳瘵骨蒸或牙齿干燥,大椎穴、鸠尾穴各灸十四壮,还有膏肓穴、肺俞穴、四花穴、大椎穴等,如果尽早施灸,百发百中。○传尸劳瘵,涌泉穴针刺三分,泻法六吸,有血出可治,无血出必危;丰隆穴治痰,针入一寸,泻十吸;丹田穴治气喘,针入三分,补二呼(以上出自《入门》)。
Acupuncture and moxibustion methods for various phlegm-fluid retention diseases select Fenglong (ST40) and Zhongwan (CV12). ○ For phlegm-fluid retention in the chest accompanied by vomiting, regurgitation, and inability to eat, select Jueque (CV14) and Zusanli (ST36) (from *Gangmu*). ○ For overflow edema (Yi Yin), select Zhongwan (CV12) (from *Jia Yi Jing*). ○ For water qi stagnation in the Sanjiao causing loss of appetite, select Weidao (GB28), Zhongfeng (LR4), Shushu (BL21), and Shenshu (BL23) (from Li Dongyuan). ○ Diseases caused by phlegm-saliva are numerous and cannot be listed exhaustively; however, Lao Zhai (consumptive disease) with phlegm is the most difficult to treat. It is most suitable to apply moxibustion early on Gaohuang (BL43); when the number of moxa cones applied is large, there should be excretion. However, if the excretion resembles flowing water, it indicates that the phlegm has been expelled (from *Zisheng Jing*).
Acupuncture and moxibustion methods for irregular menstruation select Yinjiao (RN7), Zhongji (CV3), Sanyinjiao (SP6), Shenshu (BL23), and Qihai (CV6) (from *Gangmu*). ○ For amenorrhea, select Zhongji (CV3), Sanyinjiao (SP6), Shenshu (BL23), Hegu (LI4), Siman (ST25), and Zusanli (ST36). ○ For metrorrhagia and metrostaxis with continuous bleeding, select Xuehai (SP10), Yinggu (KI10), Sanyinjiao (SP6), Xingjian (LR2), Dachong (LR14), and Zhongji (CV3) (from *Gangmu*). ○ For red and white leukorrhea, select Zhongji (CV3), Shenshu (BL23), Qihai (CV6), Sanyinjiao (SP6), Zhangmen (LR13), and Xingjian (LR2). ○ Moxibustion on the Dai Mai point treats red and white leukorrhea remarkably: a female patient suffering from this condition reported feeling possessed by a ghost after moxibustion, who said, "If you burn me, I will leave," and she recovered shortly thereafter (from *Zisheng Jing*). ○ Cui Shi's Sihua points treat leukorrhea with miraculous effect (from *Gangmu*). ○ For red leukorrhea, select Zhongji (CV3), Qihai (CV6), and Weizhong (BL40). ○ For white leukorrhea, select Qugu (CV2), Chengyin (likely referring to Chengjiang CV24 or similar lower Ren vessel point, text says Chengyin), Zhongji (CV3) (from *Gangmu*). ○ For sudden severe metrorrhagia after long-term amenorrhea, select Fenglong (ST40), Shimen (CV5), Tianshu (ST25), Zhongwan (CV12), and Qihai (CV6) (from *Gangmu*).
Acupuncture and moxibustion treatment for bone-stealing fever and infectious consumption (Lao Zhai) should involve early moxibustion on Cui Shi's Sihua points (see Acupuncture section); late intervention is futile (from *Rumen*). ○ The Zhai worm resides between the lungs, eroding the lung system, thus causing hemoptysis and hoarseness. This is referred to as "above the Gao, below the Huang," where acupuncture cannot reach and medicine cannot cure. It is best to apply moxibustion early on Gaohuang (BL43), Feishu (BL13), and Sihua points (from *Rumen*). ○ To treat Lao Zhai, on the night of Guihai day at the third watch (midnight), when the Six Spirits gather, remove upper body clothing. Locate the "Waoyan" (waist eye) points, which are slight depressions on both sides of the waist. Stand upright and mark the spots with a pen. Then lie on the bed face down. Apply small moxa cones, seven moxibustion units per spot. If the worm is expelled via coughing or defecation, the patient is safe. This is called Yuxian Moxibustion (from *Defang*). ○ Mark the Waoyan points one day in advance. At midnight during the transition to the Guihai date, apply seven, nine, or eleven moxibustion units, which is especially effective. Burn the worms expelled through feces (from *Yijian*). ○ For bone-stealing fever and heat, moxibustion on Gaohuang (BL43) and Zusanli (ST36). ○ For Lao Zhai with bone-stealing fever or dry teeth, moxibustion on Dazhui (GV14) and Jiutui (CV15), fourteen units each. Also, Gaohuang (BL43), Feishu (BL13), Sihua, and Dazhui (GV14) points: if treated early, success rate is nearly 100%. ○ For infectious consumption (Chuan Shi Lao Zhai), needle Yongquan (KI1) three fen deep, using reducing method for six inhalations; presence of blood indicates treatability, absence indicates critical danger. Fenglong (ST40) for phlegm: needle one cun deep, reducing method for ten inhalations. Dantian (CV4 or BL23 depending on context, here likely CV4 or specific back-shu) for asthma: needle three fen deep, tonifying method for two exhalations (above from *Rumen*).
