治疗小儿脾神灸法。在未灸之前，先在土田地上画一个十字的中心点。先灸一炷香的时间，口中念道：不灸天神，不灸地神，只灸脾神。灸完后，再灸患病的小儿。男孩取左手，女孩取右手，用四五寸长的竹片，让小儿握紧拳头，以中指背侧关节头为起点，量至中节尽头处，将竹片虚折一下，再回折使其齐平折断。按此长度，点在腰眼左右隐约有两个坑窝的地方。用这种折好的竹片，两尖端顶住一个坑窝，竹片尖端落下的位置，就是腰眼穴。这样比定后，以窝以上尖端的位置作为腰眼穴。准备好艾炷，根据小儿年龄大小、病情轻重进行加减。小的如筷子头大，大的如小指尖大。多的灸四七壮（二十八壮），少的灸三七壮（二十一壮）。灸完后，男孩在左脚腕上的凹陷窝穴内拔火气。三岁以下的小儿灸三炷，五岁以上灸七壮。灸完后，将竹杖像上面那样通长伸直，放在患病小儿心口上方，立直竹片向下直到尽头处即为穴位。心口的取穴方法也是如此。也要看小儿的大小及病情轻重，轻则灸三炷，重则灸二七壮（十四壮）。病发者即中病。如果不发疮，可用发泡的药物，让小儿服用就会发疮。发疮之后，必须忌口十几天，等疮愈合则有效验。只在十日半月之间，饮食进步，黄色消退，容颜改变，取得万全的效果。我家的孙子，依靠这个方法得以存活，其他人治愈的也很多。如果要施灸，如果能知道穴位的人定点定位就更好了。
治疗小儿无辜疳。脑后顶部边缘有核状物如弹子大小，按压可转动，柔软且不疼痛，其中含有如米粉状的虫。如果不迅速刺破，虫子会随着热气流散，侵蚀脏腑，导致肢体出现疖疮，大便脓血，高热消瘦，头颅露出骨血，这都是因为气血虚弱疲惫所致。也有是因为清洗婴儿衣物，晾在屋檐下，被鸟落的羽毛弄脏，婴儿穿上此衣，虫进入皮毛，也导致这种疾病。凡是晾晒婴儿衣物，必须用微火烘烤。治疗时用针刺破，贴上膏药即可痊愈。
治疗小儿癖气，久治不愈的。灸中脘一穴，章门一穴。章门穴在大横穴外侧，直对脐部季肋端。侧卧，屈曲上侧腿，举起手臂取穴。右侧的中脘和章门两穴，各灸七壮。脐后脊柱正中，灸二七壮（十四壮）。取中脘穴时，从肝下取病患四指宽处即是穴位，灸之无不有效。

To treat pediatric gan accumulation with emaciation. Moxibustion of three cones (zhuang) is applied on the sharp tip of the Jiuwei bone below the chest. Subsequently, moxibustion of three cones is applied on the sharp tip of the coccyx at the lower end of the spine. This also treats pediatric gan accumulation with emaciation, rectal prolapse, thin body with thirst and drinking, and haggard appearance, when various prescriptions have failed to cure. Moxibustion of three cones is applied in the bony depression three cun above the coccyx.
To treat pediatric jing gan (startling gan) with yellowish emaciation, abdominal masses, distension, diarrhea, and dysentery, as well as all kinds of deficiency and damage. Moxibustion of fourteen cones (two times seven) is applied below Jiuwei, at Zhongwan (CV12), located centrally above the umbilicus. Furthermore, moxibustion of fourteen cones is applied at Pishu (BL20), which is one and a half cun lateral to the lower border of the tenth thoracic vertebra on both sides of the spine. The effect is excellent.
Regarding the method of moxibustion for Spleen Spirit in children: Before moxibustion, draw a cross on the soil field and mark its center. First, burn one incense stick while chanting: "Do not moxa the Heavenly Spirit, do not moxa the Earthly Spirit, only moxa the Spleen Spirit." After finishing this, proceed to moxa the sick child. For boys, use the left hand; for girls, use the right hand. Use a bamboo strip four or five cun long. Have the child make a fist. Use the head of the dorsal interphalangeal joint of the middle finger as the starting point, measure to the end of the middle phalanx, then fold the bamboo strip loosely once, and fold it back so that the ends align. Break it at this length. Use this length to locate the waist eyes (yaoyan), where there are two indistinct depressions on either side of the lower back. Place the two tips of this folded bamboo strip against one depression; the point where the tip lands marks the waist eye acupoint. Having determined this position, the tip above the depression serves as the reference for the Yaoyan acupoint. Prepare moxa cones according to the child's age and the severity of the illness. For smaller children, the cone size is like a chopstick head; for larger children, like a fingertip. Apply twenty-eight cones (four times seven) for severe cases, or twenty-one cones (three times seven) for mild cases. After moxibustion, remove the fire qi from the concave acupoint on the ankle of the left foot for boys. Children under three years old receive three cones; those over five years old receive seven cones. Afterward, take a bamboo stick of the same length as described above, straighten it, and place it vertically on the child's heart pit (xin kan). The point where the bottom of the vertical stick reaches is the acupoint. The method for locating the heart pit is similar. Consider the child's size and illness severity: apply three cones for mild cases, or fourteen cones (two times seven) for severe cases. If the disease manifests, it indicates the treatment is effective. If no blister forms, administer a vesicating substance orally to induce blisters. After blisters form, observe dietary restrictions for more than ten days. Once the blisters heal, efficacy will be evident. Within ten days to half a month, appetite improves, jaundice subsides, and complexion changes, achieving complete recovery. My grandson survived thanks to this method, and many others have also recovered. If moxibustion is desired, having someone knowledgeable in acupoints to locate them precisely is even better.
To treat pediatric abdominal distension, moxa Shuifen (CV9).
To treat pediatric wugu gan (innocent gan). There is a nodule on the posterior vertex edge, sized like a marble, movable upon pressure, soft and painless. Inside, there are worms resembling rice flour. If not promptly punctured, the worms will scatter with heat qi, corroding the zang-fu organs, leading to boils and sores on the limbs, pus and blood in stool, high fever, emaciation, and exposed skull bones and blood. These are caused by deficiency and exhaustion of qi and blood. It may also result from washing infant clothes and drying them under eaves, where bird feathers contaminate them. When the child wears these clothes, insects enter the skin and hair, causing this disease. Whenever drying infant clothes, they must be dried over a mild fire. Treatment involves puncturing with a needle and applying ointment plaster for cure.
To treat pediatric pi qi (accumulation) that persists without cure. Moxa one point of Zhongwan (CV12) and one point of Zhangmen (LR13). Zhangmen is located lateral to Dahan (SP15), directly opposite the costal margin at the level of the umbilicus. Lie on the side, flex the upper leg, raise the arm to locate the point. Moxa seven cones each on the right Zhongwan and Zhangmen points. Moxa fourteen cones (two times seven) on the midline of the spine behind the umbilicus. To locate Zhongwan, measure four finger-widths below the liver area; moxibustion here is invariably effective.
To treat pediatric ru pi (breast accumulation). Use two thick threads to measure the width between the two nipples. Hang them down from the nipples, aligning vertically, and mark the corresponding positions on the left and right ribs. Moxa seven cones at each location. The moxa cone should be the size of a wheat grain.
To treat pediatric pi (from Wei Shi Fang). Moxa three cones at one cun below each nipple.
To treat pediatric bu lu (spitting up milk). Moxa Dazhui (GV14). Also moxa Chize (LU5), located at the midpoint of the transverse crease of the elbow. Also moxa Jiujiiao.
To treat pediatric gan erosion sores. Moxa seven cones on both sides of the spine at the fifteenth thoracic vertebra. If not cured, add seven more cones.
To treat pediatric abdominal fullness and inability to eat or drink. Select Xuanzhong (GB39).
To treat emaciation without weight gain, poor appetite, and failure to develop flesh and skin (from Zisheng Jing). Moxa Weishu (BL21) with three cones. It is located one and a half cun lateral to the lower border of the twelfth thoracic vertebra on both sides (some sources say one cone).
To treat pediatric emaciation, hernia-like abdominal swelling (Ben Tun), flaccidity of the four limbs, and inability to lift shoulders and back (from Jisheng Bacui). Moxa two points of Zhangmen (LR13) with fourteen cones (two times seven). Zhangmen is located lateral to Dahan (SP15), directly opposite the costal margin at the level of the umbilicus. Lie on the side, flex the upper leg, extend the lower leg, and raise the arm to locate the point.
