诸气类
治疗肾虚导致的消渴症。症状为无汗、腰脊僵硬无法俯仰、腹胀及胁痛。取穴中膂俞、意舍。
治疗消渴症,咽喉干燥。灸胃脘下俞三穴,每穴各灸一百壮。穴位位于背部第八椎骨下方,横向距离三寸处施灸。另外灸胸堂穴五十壮,足太阳膀胱经相关穴位五十壮。
治疗消渴症伴咳嗽气逆。灸手厥阴心包经穴位,根据患者年龄决定灸的壮数(随年壮)。

治疗男女性血结胸证。症状为面色红赤、极度干燥、口干消渴、胸中疼痛难以忍受。针刺足厥阴肝经的期门穴两穴。
王氏说:凡是消渴症经过百日以上,不得进行灸刺治疗。如果进行灸刺,疮口会流脓不止,最终导致痈疽、身体消瘦而死。也忌讳误用针法。如果误用针法,所饮入的水都会在疮口中变成脓水流出。如果水流不止,必然死亡。务必谨慎。初患此病的人,可以按照上述方剂方法针刺。

Wang Shi states: For Xiao Ke lasting more than 100 days, moxibustion and acupuncture are contraindicated. If performed, pus will leak continuously from the wound, leading to carbuncles, emaciation, and death. Accidental needle puncture is also taboo. If accidentally needled, the ingested water will turn into pus and discharge from the wound. If the discharge does not stop, death is inevitable. Exercise utmost caution. Patients in the early stages may be treated with acupuncture according to the prescribed methods.
