Old Tang History Book recorded a case of moxibustion used for longevity and healyh: Liu Gongquan was over 80 years old and still walked lightly. Someone asked him his technique for nourishing his life. He said, " I have not used original qi to aid joy and anger and i constantly warm Qi Hai (Ren 6). That's all" (Gu and Zhao 1994, 2).
This is how to measure. 3 inch is called 3 cun in TCM. Use your own fingers , 4 fingers of yours is 3 cun. You mark the 3 cun and half of it is the Qi Hai. For people who don't have the moxibustion ai Tsao they can use the tobacco roll pure just to make hot the qi Hai. But take note the effect is not the same of using Ai tsao or mugwort.
This is how to use the fingers to measure the aupoints.
