以前全身灯火,皆为实邪升散之用,并一切怪证莫可名状者,无不奏功。倘涉久病体虚,忽然精神溃乱,
人事昏沉,前火则为不宜,须用回生艾火挽之。盖此火能回散失之元阳,收归气海,固其根蒂,免致离散。其
法以生姜切为纸浓薄片,大如指甲,贴尾闾穴(脊骨尽处、命门穴在腰脊间,前正对脐,)以艾绒揉紧如绿豆大,

妇一切中风中痰,气厥阴证,虚寒竭脱,凶危之候,咸宜用之。有起死回生之功,幸毋轻视。
凡小儿中恶、客忤,以及痰闭、火闭、风闭,乍然卒死,即以全身灯火醒之。倘一时未有其人,即以大拇
指掐其人中穴,病轻者一掐,即啼哭而醒;倘不应,掐合谷;又不应,掐中冲;若再不应,其病至重,则以艾
丸如萝卜子大,于中冲穴灸之,火到即活。盖中冲一穴,为厥阴心包络之脉所出,其经与少阴心脏相通。此火
一燃,则心中惕然而觉,倘此火全然不知,则百中不能救一矣。

以前全身灯火疗法,都是用于实邪升散的治疗,对于一切难以名状的怪异病症,无不奏效。如果涉及久病体虚,突然精神溃乱、人事昏沉的情况,之前的灯火疗法就不适宜了,必须使用回生艾火来挽救。因为这种艾火能够挽回散失的元阳,将其收归气海,巩固根本,避免元气离散。其方法是:将生姜切成厚薄如纸的薄片,大小如指甲,贴在尾闾穴(脊骨尽头处;命门穴位于腰脊之间,前方正对肚脐),将艾绒揉紧如绿豆大小,放在姜片上,用火灸之,每穴以三壮为限度。灸完后,另取姜片贴在脐下的阴交穴,像前面那样灸治。这种艾火不仅小儿可以使用,凡是男女一切中风、中痰、气厥阴证、虚寒竭脱等凶险危急的症状,都适宜使用。它有起死回生的功效,千万不要轻视。
凡是小儿遭受中恶、客忤,以及痰闭、火闭、风闭,突然猝死,立即用全身灯火疗法使其苏醒。如果一时找不到人操作,就用大拇指掐按人中穴,病情轻者一掐,就会啼哭而醒;如果没反应,再掐合谷穴;如果再没反应,掐中冲穴;如果仍然没反应,说明病情极重,就用如萝卜子大小的艾丸,在中冲穴灸治,火气到达病人就能复活。因为中冲穴是厥阴心包络经脉所出的穴位,其经络与少阴心脏相通。这艾火一燃,心中就会惊觉醒来;如果对此火完全无感觉,那么百人中也不能救活一个了。

Previously, the full-body lamp-fire therapy was used for dispersing excess pathogens, and it was effective for all kinds of inexplicable strange conditions. However, if the condition involves chronic illness with body deficiency, sudden mental confusion, and unconsciousness, the previous lamp-fire therapy is not suitable; instead, "Life-Returning Moxa Fire" must be used to rescue the patient. This moxa fire can restore scattered primordial Yang (Yuan Yang), gather it into the Qi Sea (Qihai), consolidate the root, and prevent dispersion. The method is as follows: slice fresh ginger into thin pieces as thick as paper, about the size of a fingernail, and place them on the Weiliu point (at the end of the spinal column; Mingmen point is located between the lumbar and spinal vertebrae, directly opposite the navel anteriorly). Roll mugwort wool tightly into sizes like mung beans, place them on the ginger slices, and apply moxibustion. Each acupoint receives three moxa cones (zhuang). After finishing, place another ginger slice on the Yinjiao point below the navel and moxibustion as before. This moxa fire can be used not only for children but also for men and women suffering from wind-stroke, phlegm-obstruction, Qi-jue Yin-patterns, deficiency-cold collapse, and other critical conditions. It has the power to revive the dead, so do not underestimate it.
For infants suffering from evil invasion, external malevolent influences, or obstructions due to phlegm, fire, or wind leading to sudden death, immediately use full-body lamp-fire therapy to awaken them. If no one is available to perform this, pinch the Renzhong point (Renzhong, GV26) with the thumb. For mild cases, one pinch will cause crying and awakening; if there is no response, pinch Hegu (Hegu, LI4); if still no response, pinch Zhongchong (Zhongchong, PC9); if there is still no response, the condition is extremely severe. Use a moxa cone the size of a radish seed to moxibustion the Zhongchong point. Awakening occurs when the heat reaches the point. Zhongchong is the exit point of the Jueyin Pericardium meridian, which connects with the Shaoyin Heart. When this fire is lit, the heart will suddenly awaken; if there is absolutely no sensation to this fire, less than one in a hundred can be saved.
