The Yellow Emperor Chapter 32 - Basic Questions - Treating Fevers with Needling 刺热

This Chapter from The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine details traditional Chinese medicine approaches to treating fevers. The text describes different fever types based on their origin in specific organs (liver, heart, spleen, lung, kidney), each with unique symptoms and acupuncture points for treatment. It outlines diagnostic indicators like facial redness and pulse characteristics, and provides specific needling techniques to alleviate symptoms and induce sweating. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of considering the timing of treatment based on cyclical influences, and the potential for fatal outcomes if treatments are ineffective or improperly applied. The text also notes adjunctive therapies such as administering cool water and resting in a cool place.
