Protocol for a classical Tx is:
- Step 1a. Bring Yang Qi to surface by opening up Du 4 & then Du 14 via moxa, Tui Na, needling etc.

- Step 2. Needle ashi points (most painful spots) from proximal to distal
- Step 3. Needle/massage/moxa Jing Well point to complete Tx.
- *(Order of removal of needles is: Ashi, JW, MMP)
