; and analyzes the ideas of diagnosis and treatment of cholera and the academic thoughts in treatment with acupuncture-moxibustion therapy. In pathogenesis

cholera is classified into cold and heat types. Cholera of heat type roots on

qi

and blood. If the pathogenic factors are mild and located shallowly

the sneezing method

followed by scraping method

is adopted to open meridians and collaterals

as well as the

qi

so as to eliminate pathogens. When the pathogens go deeply

the bloodletting technique is used to clean the toxic heat in blood level and reduce the reversed

qi

. For cholera of cold type

warm ironing moxibustion is delivered to promote

qi

circulation and disperse cold

and improve

qi

movement. If spasm and syncope occur in cholera

no matter of cold or heat identification

the emergent measure is operated with the external application of pungent

warm and salty herbal plaster at Yongquan (KI1). When the pathogens are almost eliminated

the herbal medicines are combined to treat the symptoms and remove the causative factors of the disease.
