Support the elbows with an object to prevent arm movement. Palpate from the upper angle of the scapula down to the head of the bone; the area should be between the fourth ribs, moxa here. From the inner side of the scapula, move away from the scapula by the width of a side finger, lift the arm to find the empty space between the tendons; pressing here should cause a sensation of traction into the shoulder. Apply moxibustion to one spot between the two scapulae for up to one hundred moxa cones, or up to three hundred. One should feel a gurgling sound below, like flowing water, and there should be some discharge. If there is phlegm disease, it will disperse everywhere. If the patient is too weak to sit upright, have them lie on their side, flex the upper arm forward, locate the point, and apply moxibustion. Alternatively, use the right hand to press from the shoulder down to where the fingers cannot reach; this is the point. The left side is treated similarly, using the previous method for moxibustion.
