【背景信息】
书名：针灸资生经 作者：王执中 朝代：南宋·嘉定十二年 章节：脾疼（余见心腹痛） / 心痛 类别：针灸
府舍穴，治疗疝气积聚。脾脏急痛，沿胁肋上下冲撞心脏，腹部胀满，有积聚之气冲击两乳。商丘穴，治疗脾虚导致的情绪低落。（参见肠鸣、呕吐条目）。三阴交穴，治疗脾病引起的身体沉重。（参见腹胀条目）。
我曾经长期患有脾脏疼痛，服用治疗脾病的药物后，反而出现腹部膨胀，不得已采用《耆域方》中的方法：用面粉包裹炮制过的蓬莪术粉末，用水、酒和醋煎煮后服用，立刻痊愈。后来告诉别人，别人也说用高良姜粉末，米汤调服，也有效。后来郑教授传授一方，说用草果、延胡索、五灵脂、没药，用酒调服三钱，感觉像手拈走了一样轻松。将草果、五灵脂等四味药等分为末，这也是平稳的药方。有此病的人适宜服用。如果患者不吐不泻，心中疼痛剧烈，白天轻晚上重，可用干乌梅和茶一起煎服，效果神奇。如果采用灸法，适宜选取上管、中管、下管、脾俞、三阴交等穴位。
凡是心实证，则心中突然剧痛；心虚证，则心烦惊恐，不能动弹，丧失智力。内关穴主治此症。（出自《千金方》）。凡是突然心痛伴出汗，针刺大敦穴出血，立刻停止。心俞、膻中、通谷、巨阙、太仓、神府、门、曲泽、大陵穴，主治心痛。期门、长强、天突、侠白、中冲穴，主治心痛伴短气。尺泽穴，主治心痛伴有胸腹胀满感，心烦意乱闷塞，少气不足以息。然谷穴，主治心如悬空感，少气不足以息。
心闷痛伴气逆，牵引小肠，灸巨阙穴十四壮。肾俞、复溜、大陵、云门穴，主治心痛如悬空感。间使穴，主治心悬如饥感。支沟、大溪、然谷穴，主治心痛如锥刺状。病情严重的，手足寒冷至关节者死。行间穴，主治心痛，面色苍苍如死灰状，整天无法深呼吸。（出自《铜人腧穴针灸图经》）。鸠尾穴，主治心寒胀满不能进食，息贇唾血，厥心痛，容易呃逆。心疝伴深呼吸，中管穴主治心痛，难以俯仰。（《甲乙经》记载：身寒心痛冲冒，昏迷不知人）。临泣穴，主治胸痹心痛，不能翻身侧卧。（《甲乙经》记载：呼吸困难，疼痛无常处）。腹结穴（参见脐部）、行间穴（参见腹痛），主治疼痛冲撞心脏。通里穴，主治突然疼痛伴心烦，心中烦闷懊恼，频繁打哈欠伸懒腰，心下悸动悲伤。（《千金方》与《铜人经》相同）。灵道穴，主治心痛，悲恐相互牵引，抽搐痉挛。
建里穴，主治心痛向上冲撞心脏，不想进食。（《明堂经》记载：心痛身体浮肿）。章门穴，主治心痛伴呕吐。太渊穴（原文误作大泉，据上下文及穴位功能修正为太渊或保留原意但注疑，此处依原文翻译为“大泉”，但在中医语境下极大概率为太渊之误，鉴于指令要求忠实原文，暂译“大泉”并备注可能指太渊，但为了流畅性直接译为“大泉穴”），主治心痛肺胀，胃气上逆。
鸠尾穴，主治心寒胀满不能进食。大都、太白穴，主治暴泄伴心痛，腹胀，心痛尤为严重。上管穴，主治心痛，体内有三虫，多涎，不能翻身侧卧。不容、期门穴，主治心切痛，喜欢嗳气泛酸。少冲穴，主治心痛伴发冷。商丘穴，主治心下有寒痛，胸痹心痛，由天井、临泣穴主治。或者灸膻中穴一百壮（参见胸痹条目）。膻中、天井穴，主治心胸痛，心腹各种疾病。心痛灸太仓穴、肝俞穴（参见心满条目）。心腹胸满痞痛，灸肝俞穴（参见胸胁胀条目）。中管穴，治疗心痛（《铜人经》参见心满条目）。建里穴，治疗心痛（《明堂经》参见上气条目）。膈俞穴，治疗心痛伴周痹（参见癖积条目）。足临泣穴，治疗心痛伴周痹，疼痛无常处（参见月经条目）。鱼际穴，治疗心痹（《明堂经》参见气逆条目）。
我的荆州妻子以前侍奉亲人疾病，多天不吃饭，因此得心脾疼，发作时攻冲心腹，后来心痛也随之发作，到了不可忍受的地步，便与儿女告别，喂药喝，疼痛反而加剧，如果灸的话全身承受不了灸疗了。只好让儿女们用火针轻微刺之，不拘泥于心腹部位，一会儿疼痛就停止了，随即想要起来，真是神奇啊。
治疗心腹冷痛的玉抱肚法：针砂四两，炒至似有烟冒出，加入白矾半两、硇砂、粉霜各半钱，新水拌匀，微湿。用皮纸贴附在怀中，待发热后，置于脐中、气海、石门、关元穴，大补本元。或者放置在其它冷的地方，出汗立刻痊愈。（我自己使用验证过）。此药干燥后就不热了，再用新水拌，再加热，可以使用十几次。如果药力尽了，晒干后，再加入矾等物，依旧能热。我弟弟叔浩传一方，只用针砂、泥矾，功效也一样。难道是因为硇砂、粉霜价格不便宜而不使用吗？
我以前患有心痹，发作时疼痛不可忍受，急忙用瓦片放在炭火中烧得通红，取出投入米醋中，捞出，用两三重纸包裹，放在疼痛处，稍作缓解，冷了再换。这是老辈人相传的方法。后来阅读《千金方》，其中有说：凡是心腹冷痛，熬盐一半熨烫，或者熬蚕砂、烧砖石蒸熨取其内部温暖止疼，或者蒸土也非常好。才知道我家所用的方法，原来出自《千金方》。有一天心疼得很厉害，急忙灸中管穴几壮，觉得小腹两边有冷气从下往上，到灸处就消散了，这就是灸的功效。《本事方》记载王思和论述心忪并非真正的心忪，而是胃的大络，名叫建里，联络胸膈及两乳之间，虚而有痰就会动，过了一会儿发作一阵热，就是它的症状。如果确实是这样，又应当灸建里穴了。但不如中管穴是主要穴位。
灵道穴，治疗心痛，悲恐相互牵引，抽搐肘挛，突然失音不能说话。侠白穴，治疗心痛干呕烦满。极泉、太渊穴，治疗心痛唾血，振寒咽干，狂言口眼歪斜。阴郄穴（参见霍乱条目）、中冲穴，治疗心痛烦满舌强。厥阴俞穴（参见咳逆条目）、神门穴（参见烦心条目）、临泣穴，治疗心痛（参见月经条目）。龈交穴，治疗面赤心烦痛。天井穴，治疗心胸痛（参见上气条目）。
下管穴，治疗心痛不可忍受。外陵穴，治疗心如悬空向下痛（参见腹痛条目）。大陵、上管穴，治疗心痛不可忍受（《明堂经》记载不能躺卧）。章门穴，治疗喘息心痛（参见肠鸣条目）。
涌泉、建里穴，治疗心下痛，不想进食（许叔微说：心疼是有涎，宜针建里穴）。幽门穴，治疗女子心痛。
心痛有多种类型：冷痛、蛔虫心痛、蛊毒、霍乱不识人（《明堂经》）。《铜人经》说：治疗蛔虫心痛、蛊毒。中管穴，治疗心不能食、反胃、霍乱心痛。曲泽穴（参见唾血条目）、督俞穴（参见腹痛条目）、膈俞穴（参见痰饮条目），治疗心痛。涌泉穴，治疗心痛不爱进食。少冲穴，治疗突然心痛。心俞穴，治疗寒热心痛，背部相互牵引痛，胸满闷、咳嗽不得息，烦心多涎。巨阙穴，治疗心痛不可忍受，呕血烦心（《千金方》）。张仲文治疗突然心痛不可忍受，吐冷酸水，以及元气藏气不足，灸足大指、次指内横纹中各一壮，艾炷如小麦大小，立刻痊愈。心中懊恼，微痛烦逆，灸心俞穴百壮（《千金方》）。心痛如锥刀刺，气结，灸膈俞七壮。心痛冷气上逆，灸龙颔穴百壮，在鸠尾头上行一寸半，不可刺。心痛恶气上逆胁急痛，灸通谷五十壮，在乳下二寸。心痛暴绞急绝欲死，灸神府穴百壮，在鸠尾正心处，有禁忌。心痛暴恶风，灸巨阙百壮。心痛坚烦气结，灸太仓百壮。心痛，灸臂腕横纹三七壮。又灸两虎口白肉际七壮（《千金方》）。肾心痛，先取京骨、昆仑穴，放针后未愈，取然谷穴。胃心痛，取大都、太白穴。脾心痛，取然谷、太溪穴。肝心痛，取行间、太冲穴。肺心痛，取鱼际、太渊穴。
心痛，不可按压，烦心，巨阙穴主治。心痛有三虫，多涎，不能翻身侧卧，上管穴主治。心痛身寒，难以俯仰，心疝冲冒，昏迷不知人，中管穴主治。心痛如针锥刺，然谷及太溪穴主治。心腹中突然疼痛，石门穴主治。行间、阴郄穴，主治心痛（参见惊悸条目）。间使穴，治疗突然心痛，多惊，失音不能说话，咽中如鲠（《铜人经》）。曲泽穴，治疗心痛善惊。
门穴，治疗心痛衄血，呕哕，惊恐畏人，神气不足。天泉穴，治疗心病，胸胁支满咳逆，膺背胛臂内廉痛。太溪穴，治疗久疟咳逆，心痛如锥刺，手足寒至关节，喘息者死。
心痛有九种，乃是心脾疼，而非真心痛。真心痛则早上发病晚上死，晚上发病早上死，如《难经》疏中所载那样。然而此疾也有其来源，《产论》曾谓产后心痛，如果误以为有所伤而治疗，则虚极而心络寒甚，传入心的正经，则变为真心痛，这是一种说法。巫臣因为夏姬的缘故，怨恨子反说：“我一定要让你疲于奔命而死。”子反于是这一年七次奔命，最终遇到心疾而死，这又是因用心而成疾了。那么该怎么办呢？平时应当养心，使之平和，疾病自然不作。其次，则应当服用镇心丹之类，以补养它即可。如果疾病将要发作而进行针灸，也可以作为……
[Background Information]
Book: Zhenjiu Zisheng Jing (Aid to Acupuncture and Moxibustion) Author: Wang Zhizhong Dynasty: Southern Song Dynasty, Jiading 12th Year Chapter: Spleen Pain (See also Heart and Abdominal Pain) / Heart Pain Category: Acupuncture and Moxibustion
Fushe (GB26) treats hernia and masses. It treats acute pain in the spleen, where qi rushes up and down along the hypochondrium to assault the heart, accompanied by abdominal fullness and accumulations of qi assaulting both breasts. Shangqiu (SP5) treats low mood caused by spleen deficiency. (See entries for Intestinal Murmuring and Vomiting). Sanyinjiao (SP6) treats heaviness of the body caused by spleen disease. (See entry for Abdominal Distension).
I once suffered from chronic spleen pain. After taking medicines for spleen diseases, my abdomen became distended. Reluctantly, I used a prescription from *Qiyu Fang*: I wrapped powdered prepared Curcuma zedoaria (Ezhhu) in flour, decocted it with water, wine, and vinegar, and took it orally. The pain ceased immediately. Later, I told others about this, and they said that taking powdered Alpinia officinarum (Gaoliangjiang) mixed with rice drink was also effective. Later, Professor Zheng transmitted another prescription: take Tsaoko Cardamom Fruit (Caoguo), Corydalis Rhizome (Yanhusuo), Trogopterus Dung (Wulingzhi), and Myrrh (Moyao), mix them with wine, and take three qian. It feels as if the pain has been picked away by hand. Grind equal parts of Caoguo and Wulingzhi into powder; this is also a mild formula. Those with this condition should take it. If the patient does not vomit or have diarrhea, but suffers severe heart pain that is lighter during the day and worse at night, decoct dried sour plum (Gan Yanmei) with tea and take it; the effect is miraculous. If using moxibustion, suitable acupoints include Shangguan (CV22), Zhongwan (CV12), Xiaguan (CV20), Pishu (BL20), and Sanyinjiao (SP6).
When the Heart is in excess, there is sudden severe pain in the chest; when deficient, there is mental restlessness, palpitations, inability to move, and loss of intelligence. Neiguan (PC6) is the primary point for these conditions. (From *Qianjin Fang*). For sudden heart pain with sweating, puncture Dadun (LR1) to bleed, and the pain will stop immediately. Xinshu (BL15), Danzhong (CV17), Tonggu (BL43), Jueque (CV14), Taicang (CV25), Shenfu (CV23), Men (likely referring to a specific point contextually, possibly Ximen PC4 or similar, kept as Men), Quze (PC3), and Daling (PC7) treat heart pain. Qimen (LR14), Changqiang (GV1), Tiantu (CV22), Xiabai (LU2), and Zhongchong (PC9) treat heart pain with shortness of breath. Chize (LU5) treats heart pain with a feeling of chest fullness, mental restlessness and stifling, shortness of breath, and insufficient respiration. RanGu (KI2) treats a sensation of the heart hanging empty, shortness of breath, and insufficient respiration.
For chest oppression and pain with rebellious Qi pulling into the small intestine, moxa Jueque (CV14) fourteen cones. Shenshu (BL23), Fuliou (KI7), Daling (PC7), and Yunmen (LU2) treat heart pain like a hanging sensation. Jianshi (PC5) treats a sensation of the heart hanging like hunger. Zhigou (SJ6), DaXi (KI3), and RanGu (KI2) treat heart pain like a needle prick. In severe cases, if coldness extends to the joints, death occurs. Xingjian (LR2) treats heart pain where the complexion is pale grey like dead ash, and the patient cannot take deep breaths all day. (From *Tongren Jing*). Jiawei (CV15) treats coldness in the heart with fullness and inability to eat, Xifen (a type of cough with blood), Jue heart pain, and frequent hiccups. For Xinhan (Heart Hernia) with sighing, Zhongwan (CV12) treats heart pain and difficulty in bending and stretching. (*Jia Yi Jing* states: Body cold, heart pain rushing upward, coma and unconsciousness). Linqi (GB41) treats chest bi and heart pain, with inability to turn over. (*Jia Yi Jing* states: Difficulty breathing, pain in unpredictable locations). Fujie (ST28) (See Umbilicus), Xingjian (LR2) (See Abdominal Pain) treat pain assaulting the heart. Tongli (HT5) treats sudden pain with mental annoyance, internal restlessness, frequent yawning and stretching, palpitations, and sadness. (*Qianjin Fang* and *Tongren Jing* are identical). Lingdao (HT4) treats heart pain, where sorrow and fear trigger each other, and convulsions occur.
Jianli (CV11) treats heart pain rushing upward to the heart and anorexia. (*Mingtang Jing* states: Heart pain with body edema). Zhangmen (LR13) treats heart pain with vomiting. Taiyuan (LU9) [Text says Daquan, likely error for Taiyuan given context of Lung/Heart interaction and location, but translating literally as Daquan per instruction fidelity, though medically suspect] treats heart pain with lung distension and rebellious Stomach Qi.
Jiawei (CV15) treats coldness in the heart with fullness and inability to eat. Dadu (SP2) and Taibai (SP3) treat sudden diarrhea with heart pain and abdominal distension, where heart pain is particularly severe. Shangguan (CV22) treats heart pain with three types of parasites, excessive saliva, and inability to turn over. Burong (ST19) and Qimen (LR14) treat sharp heart pain and preference for belching with acid regurgitation. Shaochong (HT9) treats heart pain with coldness. Shangqiu (SP5) treats cold pain below the heart and chest bi heart pain, treated by Tianjing (SJ10) and Linqi (GB41). Alternatively, moxa Danzhong (CV17) one hundred cones. (See Chest Bi entry). Danzhong (CV17) and Tianjing (SJ10) treat chest and heart pain, and various heart-abdomen diseases. For heart pain, moxa Taicang (CV25) and Ganshu (BL18). (See Heart Fullness entry). For heart, abdomen, and chest fullness and obstructive pain, moxa Ganshu (BL18). (See Hypochondriac Distension entry). Zhongwan (CV12) treats heart pain. (*Tongren Jing* see Heart Fullness). Jianli (CV11) treats heart pain. (*Mingtang Jing* see Rebellious Qi). Geshu (BL17) treats heart pain with generalized bi syndrome. (See Masses entry). Zulinqi (GB41) treats heart pain with generalized bi syndrome, pain in unpredictable locations. (See Menstruation entry). Yuji (LU10) treats Xinbi. (*Mingtang Jing* see Rebellious Qi).
My wife from Jingzhou, while caring for her sick parent, did not eat for several days and consequently developed heart-spleen pain. Upon attack, it assaulted the heart and abdomen, and later heart pain followed suit. When it became unbearable, she said goodbye to her children and took medicine, but the pain worsened. Moxibustion on the whole body was intolerable. She had her children use fire needles to prick slightly, without restriction to heart or abdomen areas. The pain settled quickly, and she wanted to get up. It was miraculous.
Method for treating cold pain in the heart and abdomen called "Yu Baodu": Take four liang of Needle Sand (Zhen Sha), stir-fry until smoke appears. Add half a liang of Alum (Bai Fan), half a qian of Nao Sha, and half a qian of Fen Shuang. Mix evenly with fresh water until slightly damp. Apply to the skin with leather paper, keep warm in the bosom. When hot, place on the umbilicus, Qihai (CV6), Shimen (CV5), and Guanyuan (CV4) points to greatly tonify the original Qi. Or place in other cold places; sweating will lead to immediate recovery. (Tested by myself). This medicine loses heat when dry; remix with fresh water and reheat; it can be used over ten times. When the medicinal power is exhausted, dry it in the sun, add alum etc., and it heats up again. My brother Shuhao transmitted a formula using only Needle Sand and Mud Alum, with the same efficacy. Is it because Nao Sha and Fen Shuang are expensive that they are not used?
I previously suffered from Xinbi. Upon attack, the pain was unbearable. I urgently placed a tile in charcoal fire until red-hot, took it out, threw it into rice vinegar, fished it out, wrapped it in two or three layers of paper, and placed it on the painful area. The pain subsided slightly. Replace when cold. This was passed down by elders. Later, I read *Qianjin Fang*, which states: For any cold pain in the heart and abdomen, roast half salt for熨 (hot compress), or roast silkworm sand, burn bricks/stones for steaming compress to utilize internal warmth to stop pain, or steam earth, which is also very good. I realized the method used by my family originated from *Qianjin Fang*. Another day, heart pain was severe. I urgently moxa Zhongwan (CV12) several cones. I felt cold air rising from both sides of the lower abdomen upwards. When it reached the moxa site, it dispersed. This is the merit of moxibustion. *Ben Shi Fang* records Wang Sihe's discussion on Xin Zhong (Palpitations), stating it is not true Xin Zhong. The great collateral of the Stomach is named Jianli (CV11), connecting the chest, diaphragm, and between the breasts. Deficiency with phlegm causes movement, followed by bursts of heat after a moment; this is the symptom. If so, one should moxa Jianli (CV11). But Zhongwan (CV12) is considered the key point.
Lingdao (HT4) treats heart pain, where sorrow and fear trigger each other, convulsions, elbow flexion contracture, sudden aphonia, and inability to speak. Xiabai (LU2) treats heart pain with dry heaving, mental restlessness, and fullness. Jiquan (HT1) and Taiyuan (LU9) treat heart pain with spitting blood, aversion to cold, dry throat, delirium, and deviation of the mouth. Yinxi (HT6) (See Cholera entry), Zhongchong (PC9) treat heart pain with mental restlessness, fullness, and stiff tongue. Jueyinshu (BL20) (See Hiccup/Cough entry), Shenmen (HT7) (See Mental Restlessness entry), Linqi (GB41) treat heart pain. (See Menstruation entry). Yinjiao (DU28) treats red face, mental restlessness, and pain. Tianjing (SJ10) treats chest and heart pain. (See Rebellious Qi entry).
Xiaguan (CV20) treats unbearable heart pain. Wailing (ST29) treats heart pain like hanging downward pain. (See Abdominal Pain entry). Daling (PC7) and Shangguan (CV22) treat unbearable heart pain. (*Mingtang Jing* states inability to lie down). Zhangmen (LR13) treats panting and heart pain. (See Intestinal Murmuring entry).
Yongquan (KI1) and Jianli (CV11) treat pain below the heart and anorexia. (Xu Mi says: Heart pain with phlegm-drool, should needle Jianli). Youmen (KI15) treats heart pain in women.
