A bunch of 16th century Chinese disease spirit paintings can be found

For example;
"Jinshaku (Honton) resembles a tiny boar that runs wild through the
body. Those infected with Jinshaku develop a weak pulse, a dark
complexion, a craving for salty food, and bad breath. Acupuncture is
an effective treatment."
