反胃者,饮食能入,入而反出,故曰反胃。良由脾胃阳虚,营运失职,不能熟腐水谷,变化精微,朝食暮吐,暮食
朝吐。即王太仆云∶食入反出,是无火也。法当灸中脘、下脘,兼灸膈俞。若未效者,再灸脾俞、胃俞,甚则灸足三里。

反胃,是指饮食能够进入体内,但进入后又反吐出来,所以称为反胃。这大多是因为脾胃阳气虚弱,运化功能失职,不能将水谷熟腐消化,转化为精微物质,导致早上吃的食物晚上吐出,晚上吃的食物早上吐出。正如王太仆所说:“食物吃进去又反吐出来,这是因为没有火(命门之火/肾阳)。”治疗应当艾灸中脘穴、下脘穴,同时艾灸膈俞穴。如果效果不明显,再艾灸脾俞穴、胃俞穴,病情严重的则艾灸足三里穴。
中脘穴(参见喘症章节)。
下脘穴(参见臌胀章节)。
膈俞穴(参见汗症章节)。
脾俞穴(参见痹症章节)。
胃俞穴(参见臌胀章节)。
足三里穴(参见痿症章节)。
霍乱病,突然发生心腹疼痛,上吐下泻,这称为湿霍乱。想吐却吐不出来,想泻却泻不出来,这称为干霍乱。紧急艾灸期门穴可以治愈。
期门穴(参见臌胀章节)。
头痛,有外感和内伤的区别。如果疼痛没有间歇的是外感,时痛时止的属于内伤。如果是因头风引起的头痛,适宜艾灸百会穴,并艾灸神庭穴,合谷穴、胆俞穴都可以艾灸。如果头痛剧烈如破裂,或者因为内伤引起,适宜艾灸命门穴即可痊愈。
百会穴(参见中风章节)。
神庭穴(参见眩晕章节)。
合谷穴(位于大拇指和食指第二掌骨之间凹陷处,即虎口两骨缝中间)。
胆俞穴(参见劳伤章节)。
命门穴(第十四节椎骨下方正中)。
真心痛是无法治疗的。现在所说的“心痛”,实际上都是胸中和胃脘部的疼痛。如果胸部和腹部疼痛,艾灸上脘穴;疼痛不止,艾灸行间穴,并艾灸膈俞穴。脐下冷痛,艾灸气海穴、关元穴。少腹寒冷疼痛,艾灸中极穴。夹着肚脐两侧疼痛,向上冲至心部疼痛,艾灸天枢穴。

Fanwei (Reverse Stomach), also known as regurgitation, refers to a condition where food can enter the body but is subsequently vomited back up. This is primarily caused by deficiency of Spleen and Stomach Yang Qi, leading to impaired transportation and transformation functions. Consequently, the body fails to properly digest food and fluids and transform them into essence and nutrients, resulting in "morning food vomited in the evening" or "evening food vomited in the morning." As Wang Taipou stated: "Food enters and is vomited back; this indicates a lack of Fire (Mingmen Fire/Kidney Yang)." The treatment method involves moxibustion at Zhongwan (CV12) and Xiawan (CV10), combined with moxibustion at Ge Shu (BL17). If there is no effect, further moxibustion should be applied to Pishu (BL20) and Weishu (BL21); in severe cases, Zusanli (ST36) may be moxaed.

Huoluan (Colic Disorder) presents with sudden heart and abdominal pain, accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea, which is termed Wet Huoluan. If there is an urge to vomit but nothing comes out, and an urge to defecate but nothing comes out, it is termed Dry Huoluan. Emergency moxibustion at Qimen (LR14) can cure this.
Qimen (LR14) (See Distension section).
Tou Tong (Headache) is differentiated into Exogenous and Endogenous causes. Headaches without relief are due to Exogenous factors, while those that come and go are due to Endogenous factors. If the headache is caused by Wind-Cold attacking the head (Tou Feng), moxibustion at Baihui (GV20) and Shenting (GV24) is appropriate; Hegu (LI4) and Danshu (BL18) can also be treated with moxibustion. If the headache is severe, feeling like the head is splitting, or caused by internal injury, moxibustion at Mingmen (GV4) will lead to recovery.

Zhen Xin Tong (True Heart Pain) is incurable. What is currently referred to as "Heart Pain" actually refers to pain in the chest and epigastrium. For pain in the chest and abdomen, moxibustion at Shangwan (CV13) is indicated; if the pain persists, moxibustion at Xingjian (LR2) and Ge Shu (BL17) is recommended. For cold pain below the umbilicus, moxibustion at Qihai (CV6) and Guanyuan (CV4) is used. For cold pain in the lower abdomen, moxibustion at Zhongji (CV3) is applied. For pain flanking the umbilicus radiating upward to cause heart pain, moxibustion at Tianshu (ST25) is indicated.
