凡治消瘅，仆击，偏枯痿厥，气满发逆，肥贵人，则高梁之疾也；隔塞闭绝，上下不通，则暴忧之
病也；暴厥而聋，偏塞闭不通，内气暴薄也，不从内外中风之病，故瘦留着也； 跛，寒风湿之病也。
暴，卒也。 ，践履也。跛，不正也。治病之法，各有内外上下之因，当从其因而察之。凡治消瘅病起
于内，仆击病起于外，邪在上则偏枯，邪在下则痿厥，邪在中则气满发逆。此消瘅仆击偏枯痿厥气满发逆之
病，有虚有实，若肥贵人，则膏梁之疾，而为有余也，气机隔塞而闭绝，以致上下不通，推其致病之由，则
卒忧之病也。卒然厥逆，不通于上，则暴厥而聋，不通于下，则二便不调，偏塞闭不通，此暴忧内因之病，
故曰内气暴薄也。不从内暴忧外中风之病，则秉质故瘦，留着而不去之病也。若足践履而行不正，非
故瘦之疾，乃寒风湿外因之病也。凡此诸病，虚实不同，当察其因而治之。
黄帝曰∶黄胆暴痛，癫疾厥狂，久逆之所生也。五脏不平，六
腑闭塞之所生也。头痛耳鸣，九窍不利，肠胃之所生也。
帝因岐伯之言，申明脏腑受病，各有所生，知其所生，则知虚实之因，而治之不难矣。黄胆暴痛，癫疾
厥狂，病虽发于一时，乃久逆之所生也。五脏之气，贵得其平，五脏不平，由六腑不和，故
六腑闭塞之所生也，头痛耳鸣，致上下九窍不利，由谷气少入，谷
神内虚，乃肠胃之所生也。
手少阴心经，起始于心脏内部，向外归属于心系（连接心脏的组织结构）。由于心系部位不宜直接针刺，因此针刺其经络旁边的穴位，这样做的目的是调和心火之气。另一处取足阳明胃经，足阳明胃经起始于鼻翼两侧交会的迎香穴附近，向下沿着鼻外侧行走，向上进入上齿中，针刺此处是为了调和脾土之气。再一处取足部外踝上五寸处的光明穴，该穴属于足少阳胆经，针刺三针以调节光明穴上下区域的气机，这样做是为了调和肝胆木气。癫痫惊厥类疾病，是由于阴阳之气不能交通，水火二气不协调所致，因此采用针对脏腑五行属性的针刺方法，以体现调理脏腑五行关系的意义。
凡是治疗消瘅病（类似糖尿病的多饮多食消瘦症）、仆击病（突然昏倒如被击倒）、偏枯病（半身不遂）、痿厥病（肢体萎软无力伴四肢逆冷）、气满发逆（胸腹胀满伴气机上逆），这些多见于富贵肥胖之人，是由于长期食用高脂厚味食物导致的疾病；隔塞闭绝病（胸膈阻塞、二便不通），是由于突然遭受严重忧思惊恐导致的疾病；突然昏厥且伴有耳聋，或身体一侧闭塞不通，这是由于体内气机突然猛烈冲击所致；并非由外感风寒湿邪引起的疾病，而是由于体质瘦弱、病邪留滞不去导致的疾病；行走跛行，是由于寒湿风邪侵袭导致的疾病。
“暴”意为突然，“踆”意为践踏，“跛”意为行走不正。治疗疾病的方法，各有内外上下的病因，应当根据病因进行考察。凡是治疗消瘅病，起因为内伤饮食；仆击病，起因为外感邪气；邪气在上部则导致偏枯，邪气在下部则导致痿厥，邪气在中部则导致气满发逆。这些消瘅、仆击、偏枯、痿厥、气满发逆等疾病，有虚证也有实证。如果是富贵肥胖之人，则是因膏粱厚味导致的实证，气机阻隔闭塞而导致上下不通，推究其致病原因，是突然忧怒所致。突然发生的厥逆，气机不通于上部，则出现突然昏厥和耳聋；不通于下部，则大小便不调；身体一侧闭塞不通，这是由突然忧怒这一内因导致的疾病，所以说“内气暴薄”。如果不是由内伤忧怒，而是由外感风邪导致的疾病，则是由于体质素来瘦弱，病邪留滞不去。如果足部行走不稳、姿态不正，这不是因为体质瘦弱的疾病，而是由寒湿风邪这一外因导致的疾病。以上各种疾病，虚实性质不同，应当审察其病因并加以治疗。
黄帝说：黄疸突发疼痛，癫疾、厥狂，是由气机长期逆乱所产生的。五脏功能失调，是由六腑闭塞不通所产生的。头痛耳鸣，九窍不利，是由肠胃功能失常所产生的。
黄帝在岐伯说完后，进一步阐明脏腑受病，各自有其产生的根源，知道了产生的根源，就能了解虚实的原因，治疗起来就不难了。黄疸突发疼痛，癫疾、厥狂，虽然病症发作于一时，但都是由气机长期逆乱所生成的。五脏之气，贵在保持平衡，五脏不平衡，是因为六腑不和，所以是由六腑闭塞不通所生成的。头痛耳鸣，导致上下九窍功能不利，是因为水谷精气摄入不足，谷神在内虚弱，所以是由肠胃功能失常所生成的。
The Hand-Shaoyin Heart Meridian originates within the heart, emerging to connect with the Xinxi (Heart System). Since the Xinxi is not suitable for direct needling, needles are inserted beside its meridian to harmonize the Fire Qi. Another point involves the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian, which originates at the side of the nose, descends along the lateral aspect of the nose, and enters the upper teeth; needling here serves to harmonize the Earth Qi. A third location is the Guangming (Brightness) acupoint on the lower limb, located five cun above the lateral malleolus, belonging to the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian; inserting three needles around Guangming harmonizes the Wood Qi. Epileptic and convulsive disorders arise from the failure of Yin and Yang to interact and the disharmony between Water and Fire; therefore, needling methods targeting the Zang-Fu organs and Five Elements are employed to reflect the principles of regulating these systems.
In general, treating Xiao-Dan disease (Wasting-Thirst syndrome), Pu-Ji disease (sudden collapse as if struck), Pian-Ku disease (hemiplegia), Wei-Jue disease (limb flaccidity with cold extremities), and Qi-Man Fa-Ni (chest fullness with rebellious Qi), which often affect wealthy and obese individuals, addresses diseases caused by excessive consumption of rich foods. Ge-Sai Bi-Jue disease (obstruction and blockage preventing communication between upper and lower body) results from sudden severe worry. Sudden syncope accompanied by deafness, or unilateral blockage, stems from a violent internal surge of Qi rather than external Wind-Cold-Damp invasion; this represents a condition where pathogenic factors linger due to emaciation. Limping is caused by external invasion of Cold, Dampness, and Wind.
"Bao" (Sudden) implies abruptness; "Cun" refers to stepping; "Bo" means walking irregularly. Therapeutic approaches vary according to internal, external, upper, and lower etiologies, which must be investigated. Xiao-Dan originates internally; Pu-Ji originates externally. Pathogens in the upper jiao cause hemiplegia; pathogens in the lower jiao cause flaccidity and cold limbs; pathogens in the middle jiao cause chest fullness and rebellious Qi. These conditions—Xiao-Dan, Pu-Ji, Pian-Ku, Wei-Jue, and Qi-Man Fa-Ni—present as either Deficiency or Excess syndromes. For obese, wealthy individuals, the excess arises from rich diet causing Qi obstruction and blockage, often triggered by sudden emotional turmoil. Sudden Jue-ni with blockage in the upper jiao leads to syncope and deafness; blockage in the lower jiao leads to dysuria and constipation/diarrhea; unilateral blockage indicates an internal etiology of sudden emotional stress, termed "violent internal Qi pressure." If not caused by internal emotional stress but by external Wind invasion, it relates to constitutional emaciation with lingering pathogens. Irregular gait is not due to emaciation but to external Cold, Dampness, and Wind. All these diseases differ in Deficiency/Excess nature and should be treated based on their etiology.
The Yellow Emperor stated: Jaundice with sudden pain, Dian-Ji (epilepsy), Jue-Kuang (manic states), are generated by long-term reversal of Qi. Disharmony of the Five Zang Organs arises from closure/blockage of the Six Fu Organs. Headache, tinnitus, and dysfunction of the nine orifices arise from disorders of the stomach and intestines.
Following Qibo’s explanation, the Yellow Emperor clarified that each Zang-Fu disorder has specific origins; understanding these origins allows one to discern Deficiency/Excess patterns and facilitates treatment. Although jaundice, sudden pain, epilepsy, and mania appear suddenly, they stem from prolonged Qi reversal. The Qi of the Five Zang Organs requires balance; imbalance results from disharmony of the Six Fu Organs, thus arising from their blockage. Headache and tinnitus leading to dysfunction of the nine orifices result from insufficient intake of Gu-Qi (Grain Qi) and deficiency of the Gu-Shen (Spirit of Grain) internally, thus originating from gastrointestinal dysfunction.
