【四种灸法】
发病初起的一两天内,只需在心下部位施灸三处:第一处距离心下一寸,名为巨阙穴;第二处距离心下二寸,名为上脘穴;第三处距离心下三寸,名为中脘穴(原文作“胃管”,即中脘),每处各灸五十壮。然而,人的体型大小不同,恐怕一寸的度量会有差异,可以用绳子来测量。根据患者身高的长短来确定寸数最为适宜。取一根绳子,从胸骨剑突(鸠尾)头部稍微向下量至肚脐孔,将绳子对折取一半长度,绳头所指的位置即为中脘穴。再将这段绳子对折,分为两份,从中脘穴向上量取一份的长度,即为上脘穴;再向上量取一份的长度,即为巨阙穴。成年人可灸五十壮,儿童可根据年龄灸七壮或二壮,随其年龄而定,凭心意斟酌衡量。
如果患病已经三四天以上,应当先灸囟门上方二十壮。用绳子测量鼻子正上方直到发际线中间,将绳子对折去掉一半,便从发际线向内量入头发中,灸绳头所指的位置,名为天窗穴;又灸两侧太阳穴(颞部);又灸风池穴;又灸肝俞穴一百壮,其余各处各灸二十壮。
又灸太冲穴三十壮,效果神奇无比。
豌豆疮(指类似豌豆大小的疮疡或特定病症),灸双手手腕桡骨茎突尖上三壮,男性灸左手,女性灸右手。

[Four Moxibustion Methods]
In the first one or two days after onset, moxibustion should be applied to three points below the heart: The first point is one cun below the heart, named Jueqi (CV14); the second point is two cun below the heart, named Shangwan (CV13); and the third point is three cun below the heart, named Zhongwan (ST12, referred to as "Weiguan" in the text). Each point receives fifty moxa cones. However, since people vary in size, the measurement of cun may differ; therefore, a string can be used for measurement. Determining the cun distance according to the individual's height is optimal. Take a string, measure slightly from the tip of the xiphoid process (Jiutui) down to the umbilicus, fold it in half to take half the length. The end of the string marks the location of Zhongwan. Fold this segment again into two parts; measuring upward from Zhongwan by one part gives Shangwan, and measuring another part upward from there gives Jueqi. Adults may receive fifty moxa cones, while children may receive seven or two cones depending on their age, to be judged intuitively.
If the illness has persisted for three or four days or more, twenty moxa cones should first be applied above the fontanelle. Measure from the center of the nose straight up to the middle of the hairline, fold the string in half and discard half. Then, measure inward from the hairline into the scalp to the end of the string; this point is named Tianchuang. Additionally, moxa is applied to both temples (temporal region), Fengchi (GB20), and Ganshu (BL18) with one hundred cones, while other points receive twenty cones each.
Moxibustion is also applied to Taichong (LR3) with thirty cones, which yields miraculous results.
For pea-like sores (Wanrou Chuang), apply three moxa cones on the radial styloid process of both wrists; for males, use the left side, and for females, the right side.
[Eleven Moxibustion Methods]
At the edge of Chengjiang (CV24) inside the lips, near the teeth where a broken needle might be placed, treat Ma Huang (Horse Yellow) and Jaundice.
The temporal region lies between the eyebrow and the corner of the eye, with collateral vessels running up and down. This area is treated via acupuncture and moxibustion for jaundice and warm diseases. Combined with fire needle application at Renzhong (GV26), it treats Ma Huang Dan where the whole body turns yellow and speech is impaired.
Apply one hundred moxa cones at the midpoint between the nipples and the umbilicus (at the costal cartilage), treating Jaundice.
One cun on either side of Chengjiang (CV24) treats acute epidemics of Ma Huang.
Apply seven moxa cones to Taichong (LR3) (or note that acupuncture/moxibustion can be chosen flexibly).
Additionally, moxa is applied to Fengfu (GV16), Refu (a non-standard point, likely referring to a local heat-clearing point), Feishu (BL13), Xinshu (BL15), Ganshu (BL18), Pishu (BL20), and Shenshu (BL23). If males experience retraction of the genitals upward, moxibustion treats Ma Huang and Jaundice. For females, the Yumen (external genitalia) serves as the point for acupuncture and moxibustion, without fixed locations.
At the posterior border of the heel where white skin meets red skin, acupuncture and moxibustion can be chosen flexibly to treat Ma Huang and Jaundice.
Regarding the arm, have the patient grasp their own arm at the olecranon. From the Da Yuan (LU4) crease at the wrist, measure one finger-breadth (Yifu) upward to the border of the white skin, and apply seven moxa cones to treat Ma Huang and Jaundice.
For Jaundice, apply seven moxa cones to the seventh thoracic vertebra; if yellow fluid exudes, it is effective.
