《黄帝内经·灵枢·癫狂》
癫病已深入血脉的病人，发病时会突然仆倒，四肢的脉都胀而纵缓；如果脉满，都可以刺之出血；如果脉不满，可以取挟行于颈项两旁的足太阳经的腧穴用灸法治疗，并可以灸带脉与腰相距三寸的穴位，也可以灸分肉之间和四肢的腧穴；如果病人呕吐出许多涎沫，气下泄，就是不治之症。
脉癫疾者，暴仆，四肢之脉皆胀而纵，脉满，尽刺之出血；不满，灸之挟项太阳，灸带脉于腰相去三寸，诸分肉本输；呕吐沃沫，气下泄，不治。
If the epilepsy goes deep into the blood, the patient will fall down suddenly when attacked and the pulses on the four limbs will be swollen and tardy; if the pulses are full, they can be punctured and bled; if they are not full, moxibustion can be applied to the ying points on the Bladder Meridian of Foot Taiyang, which go along the two sides of the neck, and to the point that is three inches away from the Belt Meridian and the waist, as well as to the ying points at the division of the muscles and on the four limbs; if the patient vomits up a lot of froth from the mouth and has loose motions, it is incurable.
