胸胁痛而不得息，不得卧，上气短气，偏痛脉满起，斜出尻，脉络胸胁，支心贯鬲上肩
，如天突斜下肩交十椎下。
风从外入，令人振寒，汗出头痛，身重恶寒，治在风腑，调其阴阳，不足则补，有余则
泻。
大风头项痛，刺风腑，风腑在上椎，大风汗出，灸噫嘻，在背下侠脊傍三寸所，厌之令病患
呼噫嘻。从风增风，刺眉头，失枕在肩上横骨间。病风且寒且热，炅汗了，一日数过，先刺
诸分理络脉，汗出且寒且热，三日一刺，百日而已。
疠风者，素刺其肿上已，刺以锐针，针其处，按出其恶气，肿尽乃止。骨节重，须眉堕
名大风，刺肌肉，为故汗出，百日。刺骨髓，汗出百日，凡二百日，须眉生而止针。
偏枯身偏不用而痛，言不变，志不乱，病在分腠之间。巨针取之，益其不足，损其有余
，乃
可复也。痱之为病，身无痛者，四肢不收，智乱不甚，言微知可治，甚则不能言，不可治也
。病先起于阳，而后入于阴，先取其阳，后取其阴，浮而取之。
痿厥为四末束 ，乃疾解之。日二。不仁者十日而知。无休病已止，岁以草刺鼻嚏，嚏
而已。无息而疾迎引之，立已，大惊之亦可。
痈疽之生，脓血之成也，不从天下，不从地出，积微之所生也。故圣人自治于未有形也
，愚
者遭其已成也。脓已成，十死一生。故圣人弗使已成，而明为良方，着之竹帛。使能者踵而
传之，后世无有终时者，为其不予遭也。帝曰∶其已有脓血而后遭乎？不导之以小针治乎？曰
∶以小治小者其功小，以大治大者多害，故其已成脓血者，其惟砭石铍锋之所取也。微按其
痈，视气所行。先浅刺其傍，稍内益深，还而刺之，无过三行，察其浮沉，以为浅深，已刺
必熨，令热入中日使热内，邪气益衰，大痈乃溃。治腐肿者，刺腐上，视痈大小深浅刺之。
刺大者多血，小者深之，必端内针，为故止。痈疽不得，顷时回痈不知所，按之不应手，乍
来乍已。刺手太阴傍三 ，与缨脉各二，掖痈大热，刺足少阴，五刺而热不止，刺手心主三
，刺手太阴经络者，大骨之会各三。暴痈筋 ，随分而痛，魄汗不尽，胞气不足，治在经俞
。痈气之息者，宜以针开除去之。夫气盛血聚者，宜石而泻之。刺肿摇针。左足应立春，其
日戊寅己丑。左胁应春分，其日乙卯。左手应立夏，其日戊辰己巳。膺喉首头应夏至，其日
丙午。右手应立秋，其日戊申己未。右胁应秋分，其日辛酉。右足应立冬，其日戊戌己亥。
腰尻下窍应冬至，其日壬子。六腑膈下三藏应中州，其大禁，大禁太一所在之日，及诸戊己
。凡此九者，善候八正所在之处，所主左右上下。身体有痈肿者。欲治之，无以其所值之日
溃治之，是谓天忌日也。
胸胁部疼痛且呼吸不畅，无法平卧，气逆短促；偏侧疼痛处脉象充盈隆起，经脉从尾骨斜行而出，贯穿胸胁，支撑心脏并穿过膈肌，上行至肩部，如同天突穴斜向下行至肩部的肩井穴，再下行至第十椎骨下方。
风邪从外部侵入人体，导致身体战栗发冷，出汗，头痛，身体沉重且恶寒。治疗应取风府穴，调节阴阳平衡，虚证则用补法，实证则用泻法。
若患严重的风病引起头项疼痛，针刺风府穴，风府穴位于上椎骨处；若风病导致大汗出，艾灸噫嘻穴，该穴位于背部脊柱旁开三寸处，按压此穴时让患者发出“噫嘻”的声音。因风邪引动风邪（病情加重），可刺眉头部位；落枕引起的疼痛位于肩上横骨之间。患有风病且既怕冷又发热，出汗后症状缓解，一天发作多次，应先刺各个分肉腠理的络脉，若汗出后仍寒热交替，每隔三天针刺一次，一百天后痊愈。
患有疠风（麻风病）的人，先在肿胀处用素针（或指常规针刺）处理，使用锐利针具刺入患处，按压以排出恶气，直到肿胀消退为止。若出现骨节沉重、胡须眉毛脱落，称为大风，针刺肌肉层，使其出汗，持续一百天；针刺骨髓层，使其出汗，也需一百天，总共二百天，待胡须眉毛重新生长后即可停止针刺。
半身不遂且身体一侧不能活动但伴有疼痛，言语正常，神志清醒，病位在分肉腠理之间。使用巨针进行治疗，补益不足，削减有余，这样才可以恢复。痱病的特点是身体无痛，四肢弛缓不收，智力混乱程度较轻，若言语微弱尚能理解则可治，若严重到不能言语则不可治。此类疾病先起于阳分，而后传入阴分，先取阳经穴位，后取阴经穴位，采用浅刺浮取的方法。
痿厥病表现为四肢末端束缚紧束，随即迅速解开。每天进行两次。肢体麻木不仁者，十日后感觉恢复。若无休止地治疗直至病愈，每年可用草茎刺激鼻腔引发喷嚏，打喷嚏即可治愈。若气息不通畅而疾速迎引导引经气，症状立止，受到大惊刺激也可见效。
痈疽的产生，脓血的形成，并非从天而降，也不是从地涌出，而是由微小积累所致。所以圣人能在病症未成形时就加以治理，愚者则等到病症已成才遭遇痛苦。脓血已经形成，十死一生。所以圣人防止病症形成，并明确制定良方，书写在竹帛之上。使有才能的人继承并传承它，后世没有终结之时，是因为他们不希望人们遭受这种痛苦。黄帝问：如果已经有脓血了，还能用小针治疗吗？回答说：用小针治疗大病，功效甚微；用大针治疗重病，往往造成更多伤害。所以对于已经形成脓血的痈疽，只有砭石和铍锋刀才能处理。轻轻按压痈肿，观察气血运行的情况。先在旁边浅刺，逐渐加深，反复针刺，不超过三次，观察浮沉以确定深浅，针刺后必须熨烫，使热力进入体内，邪气衰退，大痈才会溃破。治疗腐肿，刺破腐烂处，根据痈肿的大小和深浅进行针刺。刺大的痈肿出血多，刺小的要深刺，务必端正进针，以适当为度。痈疽若不及时治疗，片刻间就会变化，痈肿的性质难以判断，按之不应手，忽来忽去。针刺手太阴肺经旁侧三穴，与缨脉各两穴；腋下痈肿大热，针刺足少阴肾经；五刺后热不退，针刺手心主心包经三穴；针刺手太阴经络交会的大骨穴位各三壮。突发筋痈，随分肉而痛，魄汗不尽，胞气不足，治疗在经俞。痈气停滞的，宜用针开泄去除。凡是气盛血聚的，宜用砭石泻之。刺肿疡时要摇动针具。左足对应立春，日期是戊寅、己丑日。左胁对应春分，日期是乙卯日。左手对应立夏，日期是戊辰、己巳日。胸膺喉头首对应夏至，日期是丙午日。右手对应立秋，日期是戊申、己未日。右胁对应秋分，日期是辛酉日。右足对应立冬，日期是戊戌、己亥日。腰尻下窍对应冬至，日期是壬子日。六腑、膈下三脏对应中州，最大的禁忌是太一所在之日，以及所有的戊己日。以上九种情况，善于观察八正节气所在的方位及其所主的左右上下身体部位。身体有痈肿的人，想要治疗它，不要在其对应的值日那天切开治疗，这叫做天忌日。
Chest and hypochondriac pain with inability to breathe freely, inability to lie flat, upward rushing of Qi, shortness of breath; pain on one side with full and raised pulse, the meridian slants out from the coccyx, traverses the chest and hypochondrium, supports the Heart and penetrates the Diaphragm, ascending to the shoulder, similar to Tian Tu (CV2) slanting down to Jian Jing (GB21), then descending below the tenth thoracic vertebra.
Wind pathogen entering from outside causes chills, sweating, headache, heaviness of the body, and aversion to cold. Treatment should focus on Feng Fu (GV16), regulating Yin and Yang: tonify deficiency, sedate excess.
Severe wind disease causing head and neck pain is treated by needling Feng Fu (GV16), located at the upper cervical vertebrae. Wind disease causing profuse sweating is treated by moxibustion on Yi Xi (BL48), located three cun lateral to the lower back spine; press this point while having the patient exclaim "Yi Xi." If wind induces further wind (worsening condition), needle the eyebrow region. Stiff neck (Shi Zhen) pain located between the transverse bone of the shoulder. Wind disease presenting with both chills and fever, where sweating brings relief but occurs multiple times a day, first needle the collateral vessels in the muscle intervals. If chills and fever persist after sweating, needle every three days until cured after one hundred days.
Patients with Li Feng (Leprosy/Mal de Alastres) are initially treated with Su needles (or standard acupuncture) on the swelling. Use a sharp needle to puncture the lesion, pressing to expel evil Qi until the swelling subsides. Bone joint heaviness with loss of eyebrows and beard is named Da Feng (Great Wind). Needle the muscle layer to induce sweating for one hundred days. Needle the bone marrow layer to induce sweating for another hundred days. Total two hundred days; stop needling when eyebrows and beard regrow.
Hemiplegia (Pian Ku) presents as unilateral immobility with pain, normal speech, and clear consciousness; the disease is located in the muscle and interstitial spaces. Treat with Ju Zhen (Giant Needles), tonifying deficiency and reducing excess to restore function. Fei Bing (Flaccidity Paralysis) is characterized by absence of pain and flaccid limbs. If mental confusion is mild and speech is weak but understandable, it is treatable; if severe enough to cause aphonia, it is untreatable. The disease originates in the Yang aspect and enters the Yin aspect; therefore, treat Yang meridians first, then Yin meridians, using superficial floating techniques.
Wei Jue (Atrophy and Cold Extremities) is treated by binding the four extremities tightly, then rapidly releasing them. Perform this twice daily. For numbness (Bu Ren), sensation returns within ten days. Continue treatment without rest until recovery. Annually, stimulate the nose with grass to induce sneezing, which can cure the condition. If Qi stagnation requires rapid guidance and drawing, symptoms cease immediately; sudden shock may also be effective.
The generation of Yong Ju (Carbuncles and Ulcers) and formation of pus and blood do not come from heaven or earth, but arise from accumulation of minute factors. Thus, sages prevent disease before form appears, while fools suffer after it manifests. Once pus and blood have formed, mortality is high (nine deaths for one survival). Sages prevent formation and record excellent prescriptions on bamboo and silk for transmission, ensuring no end to their benefit, so people do not suffer. The Emperor asked: Can small needles treat existing pus and blood? The answer is: Small needles have little effect on large diseases; large treatments may harm greatly. Therefore, for established pus and blood, only Bian Shi (Stone Lancets) and Pi Feng (Lancet Knives) are suitable. Gently press the abscess to observe Qi movement. First needle shallowly nearby, then gradually deepen, repeating up to three times. Observe depth based on floating/sinking. After needling, apply heat therapy (Wen) to drive heat inward, weakening the pathogen until the large abscess ruptures. To treat rotting swellings, pierce the rotting area, adjusting depth based on size. Large abscesses yield much blood; small ones require deep insertion. Insert the needle steadily and correctly. If Yong Ju is neglected, it changes rapidly, becoming indistinct and unresponsive to pressure, fluctuating unpredictably. Needle three points beside Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian and two points of Ying Mai (Vessel connecting to the throat). For hot axillary abscesses, needle Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian. If heat persists after five needle insertions, needle Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian three points. For great bone intersections along Hand Taiyin meridian, needle three times. Sudden Jin Yong (Sinew Abscess) causes pain according to muscle divisions, with incomplete魄汗 (Po Sweat) and insufficient Bao Qi (Bladder/Essence Qi); treat via Jing Shu (Meridian-Shu) points. For stagnant Yong Qi, use needles to open and remove it. For excessive Qi and accumulated Blood, use Bian Shi (Stone Lancets) to sedate. When needling swellings, rock the needle. Left foot corresponds to Li Chun (Start of Spring), days Wu Yin and Ji Chou. Left hypochondrium corresponds to Chun Fen (Spring Equinox), day Yi Mao. Left hand corresponds to Li Xia (Start of Summer), days Wu Chen and Ji Si. Chest, throat, head correspond to Xia Zhi (Summer Solstice), day Bing Wu. Right hand corresponds to Li Qiu (Start of Autumn), days Wu Shen and Ji Wei. Right hypochondrium corresponds to Qiu Fen (Autumn Equinox), day Xin You. Right foot corresponds to Li Dong (Start of Winter), days Wu Xu and Ji Hai. Waist, coccyx, and lower orifices correspond to Dong Zhi (Winter Solstice), day Ren Zi. Six Fu Organs and three Zang organs below the Diaphragm correspond to Zhong Zhou (Central Region). The greatest taboos are the days when Tai Yi resides, and all Wu and Ji days. In these nine cases, observe the positions of the Eight Regularities (Ba Zheng) and their corresponding body regions. For patients with swellings, do not incise or treat on the corresponding value-day; this is called Tian Ji Ri (Heavenly Taboo Day).
