我的弟弟行走一二里路，膝盖必定酸痛无法行走，必须坐下用手抚摸按摩许久之后，才能继续行走。后来因为多服用附子而痊愈。我在冬天膝盖也会酸痛，通过艾灸犊鼻穴而痊愈。由此可以看出药物与艾灸不可偏废。如果艾灸膝关穴和足三里穴也可以，只要按压穴位感到酸痛，那就是受病的部位，施灸时不拘泥于固定穴位。

My younger brother would inevitably experience severe knee soreness and pain after walking one or two li, making walking impossible. He had to sit down and massage the area with his hands for a long time before he could walk again. Later, he recovered after taking large amounts of Aconite Root (*Fuzi*). In winter, my knees also became sore and painful, which was cured by moxibustion on Dubi (EX-LE4). This demonstrates that herbal medicine and moxibustion should not be neglected. Moxibustion on Xiguan (EX-LE6) and Zusanli (ST36) is also effective. However, where pressing the acupoint elicits soreness and pain, that is the site of pathology; moxibustion can be applied without strict adherence to fixed points.
