Abdominal pain refers to the pain happening in an area below the epigastria and above the transverse bone. This problem involves the dysfunction of the spleen, stomach, large intestine, small intestine, liver, and gall bladder. It can be caused by overeating cold and raw food, or by excessive attack of external cold to the umbilicus and abdomen, leading to accumulation of cold and obstruction of qi, or by overeating and over drinking, or by emotional disturbance, resulting in stagnation of liver qi, or yang qi deficiency of zang-fu organs. Clinically, it can be divided into cold type, which is marked by acute and severe abdominal pain and is alleviated by warmth; secondly, by food retention, which is marked by distension, fullness and abdominal;  thirdly, a type of stagnation of liver qi, which is marked by distending pain of the abdomen, especially, more severe degree of distension than that of pain, and unfixed pain; the fourth type is yang deficiency, which is marked by intermittent dull abdominal pain. To promote the flow of qi and stop pain, Zhongwan (Ren 12), Neiguan (PC6), Tianshu (ST 25), Qihai (CV 6) and Susanli (ST 36) are used. In case of excessive cold, moxibustion is supplemented; in case of retention of food, Xiawan (Ren 10) and Lineiting (Extra) are selected; in case of stagnation of liver qi, Ganshu (BL 18) and Taichong (LR 3) are also selected; in case of yang deficiency, Pishu (BL20), Shenshu (BL23) and Guanyuan (Ren 4) are selected with moxibustion. Reducing technique is used for excess syndrome, and reinforcing technique is used for deficiency syndrome.
