治疗肾虚导致水脏长期寒冷（出自《资生经》）。选取穴位：肾俞。
治疗小肠气。当癖气发作时，腹痛如刀刺般剧烈，难以忍受，以及妇女本脏气血癖滞走窜刺痛，或坐卧不安，或大小便不通畅，不思饮食（另一种说法是治疗寒疝，小肠气发作牵连外肾剧烈疼痛，肿胀坚硬如石头）。在左右脚第二趾的第一节弯曲纹路中间，施灸十壮，艾炷大小如赤豆，效果非常显著。
《资生经》说，治疗小肠气的方剂很多，未必都有效。成方中的夺命散、良方中的仓猝散，都是已经试用过有效的方子。曾有一名士兵患小肠气，根据此方灸足第二趾下方五壮，症状略有缓解，但后来复发，恐怕是灸的壮数不够多。我曾给他服用镇灵丹十粒，让他早晚各服五粒，最终痊愈。艾灸固然优于药物，但如果艾灸取穴不准，其见效速度还不如对症的药物。边艾灸边服药才是恰当的做法。近来流传的一粒圣散，使用干全蝎七枚，缩砂仁十四枚，炒小茴香一钱，研为细末，分三次服用，用热酒调服，连同药渣一起空腹服用。这种病是由于小肠受热，蕴积不散，久而久之形成疾病，服用此方立刻见效。虽然我没有亲自试用，但认为其理论合理，所以附记于此。有一位年轻士人寻求艾灸治疗梦遗，我为他选取肾俞穴进行艾灸而痊愈，这说明无论老少，肾脏都有虚损的情况。古人说：“百病皆生于心”，又说：“百病皆生于肾”。心劳导致百病，人们都知道；肾虚也导致百病，人们却很少知道。大概因为天一生水，地二生火，如果肾水不能上升，心火就不能下降，这就是疾病产生的原因。人不可不养心并爱护肾脏啊。
Treating Kidney Deficiency with Long-standing Cold in the Water Organ (from *Zisheng Jing*). Acupoint: Shenshu (BL23, Kidney Shu).
Treating Xiao Ke (Wasting and Thirsting Syndrome) caused by Kidney Deficiency. Acupoints: Zhonglv (BL27, Middle Spine), Shenshu (BL23, Kidney Shu).
Regulating Kidney Qi. Acupoint: Yangqiao (likely referring to a point on the Yang Qiao Mai vessel, though specific point name is not explicitly stated as a standard acupoint code here, context implies stimulation of the vessel or related point).
Treating insufficiency of Small Intestine Qi, manifested as lackluster complexion. Acupoint: Xialian (ST39, Lower Ridge).
Treating Small Intestine Qi disorder. When Pi Qi (abdominal mass/pain syndrome) attacks, abdominal pain is severe like knife stabbing, unbearable, and also for women’s internal organ Qi and Blood stagnation moving around causing stabbing pain, or inability to sit or lie down comfortably, or obstruction of urination and defecation, and loss of appetite (another version states it treats Han Shan/Cold Hernia, where Small Intestine Qi attack radiates to the external kidneys [scrotum/testes] with severe pain, swelling, and hardness like stone). Moxibustion should be applied at the crease of the first joint of the second toe on both left and right feet, ten moxa cones (zhuang), with moxa cone size similar to a red bean. This is highly effective.
*Zisheng Jing* states that there are many prescriptions for treating Small Intestine Qi disorders, but not all are effective. Cheng Fang’s Duoming San (Life-Extending Powder) and Liang Fang’s Cangcu San (Hasty Powder) have been tested and proven effective. A soldier once suffered from Small Intestine Qi; according to this prescription, he received five moxa cones below the second toe, which provided slight relief, but the condition recurred. It is likely that the number of moxa cones was insufficient. I once administered ten pills of Zhenling Dan (Spirit-Calming Pill) to him, instructing him to take five pills morning and evening, after which he recovered. Moxibustion is indeed superior to herbs, but if the acupoints are not selected accurately, its speed of effect is inferior to appropriate herbal medicine. Combining moxibustion and herbal medicine is the most appropriate approach. Recently, a prescription called Yili Sheng San (One-Pill Holy Powder) has circulated, using seven dried whole Scorpion (Scorpio, Quanxie), fourteen Amomum fruit (Cardamom, Suanshen), and one qian of stir-fried Fennel seed (Xianghui), ground into powder. Divide into three doses. Mix with hot wine and swallow, including the dregs, on an empty stomach. This disease arises from heat accumulating in the Small Intestine, failing to dissipate, and forming pathology over time. Taking this prescription yields immediate results. Although I have not personally tested it, I find the theory reasonable, so I append it here. A young scholar sought moxibustion treatment for nocturnal emission. I treated him by moxibusting Shenshu (BL23, Kidney Shu), and he recovered. This indicates that regardless of age, the Kidneys are prone to deficiency. The ancients said, "All diseases arise from the Heart," and also, "All diseases arise from the Kidney." Heart labor causes all diseases, which everyone knows. However, Kidney deficiency also causes all diseases, which few people know. Heaven generates Water with One, Earth generates Fire with Two. If Kidney Water does not ascend, Heart Fire cannot descend. This is the origin of such diseases. People must nourish the Heart and protect the Kidneys.
