任脉穴歌
任脉在身体正中线共有二十四个穴位。会阴穴潜伏在大便与小便两个开口之间。曲骨穴的前方是中极穴，关元、石门、气海穴依次排列。阴交、神阙（原文误作“神关”，据《类经图翼》及解剖位置应为神阙，但此处依原文翻译并备注）、水分穴位于其处，下脘、建里、中脘穴在前上方。上脘、巨阙穴连接着鸠尾穴，中庭、膻中、玉堂穴在其内部。紫宫、华盖穴运转如璇玑星，天突、廉泉、承浆穴止于此处。
会阴穴（又名屏翳） 位于大便前方，小便后方，两阴窍之间。它是任脉的别络，与督脉、冲脉相交会。另一种说法认为任脉、督脉、冲脉三条经脉均起于此，任脉由此行于腹部，督脉由此行于背部，冲脉由此行于少阴经的分野。针刺深度为二寸，留针三呼的时间，艾灸三壮。有一种说法禁止针刺，只有对于猝死的人，针刺一寸并用补法；对于溺水者，将其倒背出水后，用针刺入并施补法，若尿液和粪便排出则能救活，其他情况不可针刺。
主治阴部汗出、阴中各种疾病，前后牵引疼痛，大小便不通，肛门疾病日久导致痔疮相通，男子阴寒之气冲心，女子阴门疼痛，月经不通。

《太乙歌》说：配合气海、中极、足三里，针刺治疗小腹便溺困难。
《千金方》说：妊娠不成，屡次流产，艾灸玉泉五十壮，连续三次。又说：这是妇人断绝生育最重要的穴位。又说：腹胀水肿坚硬满闷，艾灸一百壮。又说：腰痛小便不利转胞，艾灸七壮。
关元穴（又名次门，又名下纪） 位于脐下三寸。此穴位于人身上下四旁的中心，所以又名大中极，是男子藏精、女子蓄血的地方。是小肠的募穴。是足三阴经、足阳明胃经与任脉的交会穴。针刺八分，留针七呼，艾灸七壮。《甲乙经》说：针刺二寸。《气府论注》说：针刺一寸二分。另一种说法可艾灸一百壮至三百壮。《千金方》说：妇人针刺此穴则不能生育。

一种传承疗法治疗小肠气痛，伤寒腹痛，气胀水鼓黄肿，四季适宜多灸。
昔日柳公度说：我养生没有别的法术，只是不让元气助长喜怒，使气海保持温暖罢了。现在的人既然不能不以元气助长喜怒，如果能时常艾灸气海使其温暖，也是其次的方法了。我以前多病，常常感觉气短，医生教我艾灸气海，气就不急促了，从此每年一二次艾灸它，是因为气怯的缘故。
阴交穴（又名少关，又名黄户） 位于脐下一寸。另一种说法当膀胱上际。是三焦的募穴。是任脉、冲脉、少阴经的交会穴。针刺八分，艾灸五壮。另一种说法艾灸一百壮。孕妇不可艾灸。

一种传承疗法治疗腹内风寒走痛胀疼。
神阙穴（又名气舍） 位于脐中。艾灸三壮，禁止针刺，针刺使人产生恶疡溃烂，死亡无法治愈。另一种说法填入炒干净的盐满脐，上加厚姜一片盖定，艾灸一百壮，或用川椒代替盐也很好。
主治阴证伤寒中风，不省人事，腹中虚冷伤惫，肠鸣泄泻不止，水肿鼓胀，小儿乳痢不止，腹大风痫，角弓反张，脱肛。妇人血冷不受胎者，灸此永不脱胎。此穴在各家都不言灸，只说禁针。《铜人腧穴针灸图经》说：宜灸一百壮。有个叫徐的人，卒中不省人事，得到桃源簿记载灸脐中一百壮才苏醒，过了几个月又去世了。郑纠说：有一个亲人突然中风，医生为他灸五百壮皮肤发红，后来活到八十多岁。假如徐某人灸到三五百壮，怎么知道他不能长寿呢？所以神阙穴的艾灸，必须填细盐，然后艾灸，以多为好。如果灸三五百壮，不仅治愈疾病，而且延年益寿；如果灸得少，则有时暂时痊愈，后来恐怕复发，必定难以救治了。只是夏天人神在脐，乃不宜灸。
《千金方》说：纳盐脐中灸三壮，治疗淋病。又说：凡霍乱，纳盐脐中，灸十四壮，并治疗胀满。
水分穴（一名分水，一名中守） 位于下脘下一寸，脐上一寸。正当小肠下口，到这里分别清浊，水液进入膀胱，渣滓进入大肠，所以叫水分。禁止针刺，艾灸五壮。《甲乙经》说：针刺一寸。孕妇不可艾灸。
主治水病腹坚，黄肿如鼓，冲胸不得呼吸，绕脐痛，肠鸣泄泻，小便不通，小儿陷囟。如果水病胀满坚硬不能食，艾灸之大好，每天七壮，至四百壮停止；但不可针刺，针刺而水尽即死。
《神农经》说：腹胀水肿，可艾灸十四壮至二十一壮。
《千金方》说：治疗反胃吐食，艾灸二十壮。又治腹胀绕脐结痛坚，不能食，艾灸一百壮。又治霍乱转筋入腹欲死，用四人按住其手足，艾灸四五壮自不动，就勿按住，灸至十四壮。
《太乙歌》说：腹胀泻此，配合足三里、阴谷，利水消肿。
《玉龙赋》说：配合阴交、足三里，治疗鼓胀。
《百证赋》说：配合阴陵，能去水肿盈脐。

Song of Ren Mai Acupoints
There are twenty-four acupoints on the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) along the midline of the body. Huiyin (Perineum, CV1) is hidden between the two yin orifices (the anus and the urethra/vagina). Anterior to Qugu (CV2) lies Zhongji (CV3); Guan Yuan (CV4), Shi Men (CV5), and Qi Hai (CV6) follow in sequence. Yin Jiao (CV7), Shen Que (CV8, text error "Shen Guan"), and Shui Fen (CV9) are located there; Xia Wan (CV10), Jian Li (CV11), and Zhong Wan (CV12) are anteriorly above. Shang Wan (CV13) and Ju Que (CV14) connect to Jiu Wei (CV15); Zhong Ting (CV16), Dan Zhong (CV17), and Yu Tang (CV18) are within.

Huiyin (CV1) [also known as Ping Yi] Located anterior to the anus and posterior to the urethra/vagina, between the two yin orifices. It is a collateral branch of the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel), intersecting with the Du Mai (Governing Vessel) and Chong Mai (Penetrating Vessel). Another view holds that the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel), Du Mai (Governing Vessel), and Chong Mai (Penetrating Vessel) all originate here: the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) travels along the abdomen from here, the Du Mai (Governing Vessel) along the back, and the Chong Mai (Penetrating Vessel) along the Shaoyin (Kidney/Liver) divisions. Needle depth: 2 cun; retain for three breaths (hu); moxibustion: 3 cones. One method prohibits needling; only in cases of sudden death, needle 1 cun and apply tonification.

Formerly, Liu Gongdu said: My health preservation has no other technique, but simply not letting Yuan Qi assist anger and joy, keeping Qi Hai warm. Since modern people cannot avoid letting Yuan Qi assist anger and joy, if one can frequently moxibustion Qi Hai to keep it warm, that is the next best method. I used to be often ill, feeling short of breath; a doctor taught me to moxibustion Qi Hai, and my breath became steady. Since then, I moxibustion it once or twice a year due to Qi timidity.

Had Xu been moxibustioned 300-500 cones, who knows he wouldn't have lived long? Therefore, Shen Que (CV8) moxibustion must use fine salt filling, and more is better. If moxibustioned 300-500 cones, it not only cures disease but extends life; if few cones are used, it may temporarily cure but likely relapse, becoming untreatable. However, in summer when the Spirit is in the umbilicus, moxibustion is contraindicated.
