(3) Massage the left palm upward from the caudal sacrum along the spine to the middle of the thoracic spine, while massage the right hand downward from the middle of the thoracic spine to the caudal sacrum. When the two hands meet, the upper palm passes through the lower palm. A total of 36 massages were given to reduce fever.
(4) Place your palms together at the eight acupoints (above the lower lumbar and caudal vertebrae, in the first, second, third, and fourth sacral foramen), and quickly push and rub with slight force for 36 times to reduce heat and scald. But be careful not to damage the skin.
