，若有私意，若有得去寒就温，无泄皮肤，使气亟夺，此冬气之应也，养脏之道也。逆之则
伤肾，春为萎厥。
《养生方导引法》云∶肾脏病者，咽喉窒塞，腹满耳聋，用 气出。

《养生方》说：冬季的三个月称为“闭脏”，此时水结冰、地开裂，不要扰动阳气。早睡晚起，一定要等到太阳出来再起床，使情志如同潜伏隐匿一般，好像有不可告人的秘密，又好像有所收获；要注意避寒就暖，不要使皮肤开泄出汗，以免阳气频繁耗损，这是顺应冬气的做法，也是养肾的方法。违背这一原则就会损伤肾脏，到了春天容易发生肢体萎软和厥逆的病证。
《养生方导引法》说：患有肾脏病的人，会出现咽喉阻塞感、腹部胀满、耳聋等症状，可以用呼气的方法来调理。
又说：两脚交叉坐下，双手抓住双脚的解溪穴部位，用力向后牵引至极限，头部向后仰并前后运动七次，可以去除肾气壅塞。
《养生方导引法》说：蹲坐并将身体倾斜，双手用力向前伸展，手掌向上用力，向左右转身扭动腰部七次，可以去除膀胱内的冷血和风邪，缓解骨节拘急强直。
又说：采用互跪的姿势进行调和，意念引导心气向下到达足部，在体内想象气息索索流动，分布得当，然后慢慢起身舒展双手靠近肋骨，感觉手掌内外气息不断流出，如果面部感到紧迫憋闷就立即停止，总共做十四次（二七），可以减轻膝盖寒冷，治疗膀胱宿疾引起的腰脊强直以及脐下寒冷憋闷。
《养生方导引法》说：治疗大腿、小腿及手臂疼痛的方法是：弯曲一条腿，针对手臂中疼痛的部位，端正仰卧，口鼻闭气，如果腹痛就用意念推动气息，想象气息运行到疼痛处，上下都感到发热即可痊愈。
又说：仰卧并伸直两条小腿，双手掌心向上，脚趾上翘，用鼻子吸气，吸到极限共七次呼吸，可以消除腹中像琴弦一样紧绷且急切的疼痛。
又说：仰卧，口吸气鼻呼气，可以消除里急后重感；吞咽空气数十次，可以温暖中焦寒气，治疗干呕、呕吐、腹痛；口吸气七十次，同时大力振动腹部；吞咽空气数十次，双手摩擦使其发热，然后用热手按摩腹部使气下行。
又说：仰卧，双脚和双手掌心向上，用鼻子吸气七次呼吸，可以消除腹中紧绷切痛。
《养生方导引法》说：蹲坐并收敛心神，卷曲双手，意念引导心气向下，左右手摇动胳膊，身体尽量倾斜，肩膀用力，卷缩头部撞击腹部，双手冲向脉气汇聚之处直至脐下，往返七次（三七），逐渐消除腹胀、肚急、饮食不消化引起的闷胀。
又说：如果腹中胀满，进食饮水后苦于过饱，端正坐姿挺起腰部，用口吸气数十次，然后满嘴吐出，以通畅为度，如果不通畅再继续这样做；如果有寒气导致腹中不安，也施行这种方法。
又说：端正坐姿挺起腰部，口吸气数十次，可以消除腹满、饮食过饱以及寒热引起的腹中疼痛。
又说：双手向身体两侧伸展，偏向一侧用力至极限，头顶和足底的气散开向下，好像腐烂之物解散一样，手掌手指伸直舒展开，左右两边都这样操作，往返七次（三七）。然后端正身体前后转动肩腰七次，可以消除腹部胀满，治疗膀胱、腰脊、手臂因冷血脉急强引起的悸动。
又说：如果腹内胀满，吃饱后容易感到饱胀，端正坐姿挺起腰部，用口吸气数十次，以通畅为度，不通畅则继续操作。
又说：脾属土，性质温暖就像人的肌肉一样，类似于刚刚发过汗的状态，可以去除风冷邪气。如果腹内有气胀，必须先温暖双脚并上下按摩，并按摩气海穴，不限次数，越多越好，然后向左向右旋转站立七次，以调和气机。如果在腰部身体内部运用这十三种方法，回转三百六十度，活动骨节动脉和筋络，使气血布散润泽，二十四气调和滋润，脏腑之气均等调和。使用头部动摇振动，手气向上，心气向下，清楚地知道气的来去，不要搁置平手或倾斜腰部转身，按摩气息收缩回旋直到尽头，将心气放散，送至涌泉穴，一一不失去气的运行规律，使用这些方法有益。如果不理解使用方法，可能会担心气机紊乱。
According to the *Yangsheng Fang* (Prescriptions for Nourishing Life): The three months of winter are called "closing the viscera" (bi zang, closing the internal organs). At this time, water freezes and the ground cracks; one should not disturb the Yang qi. Go to bed early and rise late, waiting until sunlight appears before getting up. Let your will be like something hidden or concealed, as if harboring a secret intention, or as if having gained something. Seek warmth and avoid cold; do not allow the skin pores to open and sweat, causing Qi to be frequently depleted. This is how to respond to the Qi of winter and the way to nourish the Kidneys. Violating this will injure the Kidneys, leading to flaccidity and Jue syndrome (limb coldness/numbness) in spring.
According to the *Yangsheng Fang Daoyin Fa* (Guiding and Pulling Methods of the Prescriptions for Nourishing Life): For those suffering from Kidney disease, symptoms include throat obstruction, abdominal fullness, and deafness. These can be treated by exhaling Qi.
It also states: Sit with both feet crossed. Grasp the Jie Xi (ST41, Solving Stream) acupoint on both feet with both hands, pull them back to the extreme limit. Tilt the head backward and move it forward and backward seven times. This removes the stagnation and obstruction of Kidney Qi.
According to the *Yangsheng Fang Daoyin Fa*: Squat and tilt the body. Extend both hands forward forcefully, palms facing up. Turn the waist left and right seven times to the extreme limit. This removes cold blood and Wind pathogen from the Bladder, relieving stiffness and rigidity of the bone joints.
It also states: Assume a kneeling position (mutual kneeling) for harmonization. Direct the Heart Qi downward to the feet. Mentally visualize the Qi flowing smoothly and distributing appropriately. Then slowly rise and extend the hands alongside the ribs. Imagine Qi continuously exiting through the palms. If the face feels tight or stifled, stop immediately. Perform this two sets of seven times (fourteen times total). This alleviates coldness in the knees, treats chronic Bladder diseases causing stiffness of the lower back and spine, and relieves coldness and stifling sensation below the umbilicus.
According to the *Yangsheng Fang Daoyin Fa*: To treat pain in the thighs, shins, and arms: Bend one leg. For the painful area in the arm, lie flat on your back. Close the mouth and nose to hold the breath. If there is abdominal pain, use intention to push the Qi, visualizing it reaching the painful area. When heat is felt above and below, the condition will heal.
It also states: Lie flat on your back, extend both legs, and place both hands with palms up, toes pointed upward. Inhale through the nose to the extreme limit for seven breaths. This eliminates string-tight, urgent, and cutting pain in the abdomen.
It also states: Lie flat on your back. Inhale through the mouth and exhale through the nose to relieve tenesmus (feeling of incomplete defecation). Swallow air dozens of times to warm the Middle Jiao cold, treating dry heaving, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Inhale through the mouth seventy times while vigorously vibrating the abdomen. Swallow air dozens of times. Rub both hands together until hot, then massage the abdomen to direct the Qi downward.
It also states: Lie flat on your back with soles of feet and palms facing up. Inhale through the nose for seven breaths. This eliminates string-tight and cutting pain in the abdomen.
According to the *Yangsheng Fang Daoyin Fa*: Squat, calm the mind, and curl both hands. Direct the Heart Qi downward. Shake the arms left and right, tilting the body as far as possible, engaging the shoulder muscles. Curl the head and strike the belly. Direct both hands' Qi toward the Mai Men (Conception Vessel) down to below the umbilicus. Perform this three sets of seven times (twenty-one times). Gradually relieve abdominal distension, urgency, and stifling caused by indigestion.
It also states: For severe abdominal distension due to cold, exhale through the mouth more than thirty times until finished.
It also states: If the abdomen is full and one suffers from feeling overly full after eating and drinking, sit upright and arch the waist. Inhale through the mouth dozens of times, then exhale fully. Stop when relief is achieved; if not relieved, continue. If there is cold pathogen causing abdominal discomfort, apply this method as well.
It also states: Sit upright and arch the waist. Inhale through the mouth dozens of times. This relieves abdominal fullness, discomfort from overeating/drinking, and abdominal pain caused by Cold-Heat pathogens.
It also states: Extend both hands to the sides of the body, leaning to one side to the extreme limit. Visualize Qi from the crown and soles scattering downward, dissolving like rotting matter. Straighten and extend the fingers of the palms. Do this equally on both sides, performing three sets of seven times (twenty-one times). Then straighten the body and rotate the shoulders and waist forward and backward seven times. This relieves abdominal distension and treats palpitations caused by cold, stiff meridians, and rigid tendons in the Bladder, lower back, spine, and arms.
It also states: If the interior is full and one feels easily satiated after eating, sit upright and arch the waist. Inhale through the mouth dozens of times. Stop when relief is achieved; if not, continue.
It also states: The Spleen governs Earth and is warm like human flesh, similar to the state after sweating. It expels Wind-Cold pathogens. If there is Qi distension in the abdomen, first warm the feet and massage up and down. Massage the Qi Hai (CV6, Sea of Qi) acupoint without limiting the number of repetitions; more is better. Then stand and rotate left and right seven times to harmonize the Qi. If applied internally to the waist and body, practicing these thirteen methods daily involves rotating three hundred and sixty degrees. This shakes the bone joints, arteries, and tendons, allowing Qi and Blood to distribute and moisten. The twenty-four Qi become harmonious and moist, and the Zang-Fu organs are evenly balanced. Use head shaking and vibration, directing Hand Qi upward and Heart Qi downward. Clearly perceive the coming and going of Qi. Do not neglect keeping hands level or tilting the waist to turn. Massage the Qi, contracting and returning until complete. Scatter the Heart Qi and send it to the Yong Quan (KI1, Gushing Spring) acupoint. Do not lose track of the movement of Qi in any detail. Using these methods is beneficial. If one does not understand how to use them, one might worry about chaotic Qi.
