足太阳膀胱经的经脉循行于背部,如果突然受到风湿邪气的侵袭,就会导致脊柱部位僵硬疼痛,适宜艾灸身柱穴即可痊愈。

胁肋部左侧疼痛,是肝经受邪所致;右侧疼痛,则是肝邪传入肺脏。适宜艾灸临泣穴可以治愈。

腰痛有四种类型,应当分别进行艾灸治疗。如果是因房事过度导致肾虚,应艾灸肾俞穴。如果是偶然想要跌倒导致的闪挫伤,应艾灸气海穴。如果是负重造成的损伤,导致身体不能转动侧身,应艾灸环跳穴。如果是湿气下注,导致身体不能前俯后仰,应艾灸腰俞穴。如果疼痛牵连腹部并引起牵引痛,艾灸命门穴则能安宁。

《绳墨》一书说:肾气充盛则听力灵敏,肾气虚败则耳聋,肾气不足则耳鸣,肾气郁结化热则耳聋。医经认为耳为肾之窍,肾虚导致的耳聋适宜艾灸肾俞穴,耳鸣适宜艾灸风池穴。初患此病者,先艾灸百会穴是正确的做法。

眼科治疗将眼睛分为五轮∶内外眼角属于心,称为血轮;黑眼球属于肝,称为风轮;上下眼睑属于脾,称为肉轮;眼白部分属于肺,称为气轮;瞳孔属于肾,称为水轮。其实肝开窍于目,总的病因实在肝脏。眼睛初发病时,先艾灸百会、上星、神庭三个穴位。如果日久内障形成翳膜,应当艾灸临泣穴。目光昏暗看不清事物的,必须艾灸肾俞穴。

The meridian of the Foot-Taiyang (Bladder) channel runs along the back. If suddenly invaded by Wind-Dampness, it will cause stiffness and pain in the spinal region; moxibustion on Shenzhu (GV12) is suitable for recovery.
Shenzhu (See Cough.)
Pain in the hypochondrium on the left indicates pathogenic invasion of the Liver channel; pain on the right indicates Liver pathogen entering the Lung. Moxibustion on Linqi (GB41) is suitable for cure.
Linqi (Located directly above the center of both eyes, entering the hairline by 5 fen, in the depression.)
There are four types of lower back pain, which should be treated with moxibustion according to differentiation. If caused by excessive sexual activity leading to Kidney deficiency, moxibustion on Shenshu (BL23) should be applied. If caused by a sudden stumble or sprain, moxibustion on Qihai (CV6) should be applied. If caused by injury from carrying heavy loads, resulting in inability to turn or shift the body, moxibustion on Huantiao (GB30) should be applied. If caused by Damp-heat pouring downward, resulting in inability to bend forward or backward, moxibustion on Yaoshu (DU19) should be applied. If the pain radiates to the abdomen, moxibustion on Mingmen (GV4) will bring relief.

The book "Shengmo" states: When Kidney Qi is abundant, hearing is acute; when Kidney Qi is deficient and deteriorated, deafness occurs; when Kidney Qi is insufficient, tinnitus occurs; when Kidney Qi is stagnant and generates heat, deafness occurs. The Classics state that the ear is the opening of the Kidney. For deafness due to Kidney deficiency, moxibustion on Shenshu (BL23) is suitable; for tinnitus, moxibustion on Fengchi (GB20) is suitable. For initial cases, moxibustion on Baihui (GV20) first is correct.

Ophthalmic treatment divides the eye into Five Wheels: the inner and outer canthi belong to the Heart, called the Blood Wheel; the cornea/pupil area belongs to the Liver, called the Wind Wheel; the upper and lower eyelids belong to the Spleen, called the Flesh Wheel; the sclera belongs to the Lung, called the Qi Wheel; the pupil belongs to the Kidney, called the Water Wheel. In essence, the Liver opens into the eyes, and the root of the disease lies in the Liver. For initial eye diseases, moxibustion on Baihui (GV20), Shangxing (GV23), and Shenting (GV24) is recommended. For chronic internal cataracts forming opacities, moxibustion on Linqi (GB41) should be applied. For blurred vision and inability to see clearly, moxibustion on Shenshu (BL23) is necessary.
