The above method first needles the primary acupoint for the main syndrome, selecting points according to the location of the disease on the left, right, upper, and lower body. One must still follow the meridians, palpate, guide, and remove the pathogen according to the method. If the disease persists, seek the He-Sea points. If it still does not resolve, retain the needle to await the arrival of Qi, allowing the Qi from above and below to connect, so that the patient feels relief from their suffering before withdrawing the needle.
