Moxibustion is very good for brain atrophy. The main point selections are Baihui, Da Zhui, Tianchuang, Shen Que, Shen Shu, Zusanli, and Yongquan. In addition to the above acupuncture points, you should also add or subtract acupuncture points appropriately, according to your actual situation and the activity state of your limbs. That is, if you feel that your upper or lower limbs are restricted in movement, you can use moxibustion along the meridians that have restricted movement. Coupled with massage, functional exercises are indispensable.

This is a real case of a moxibustion fan from New York. The original article was in Chinese, and I translated it into English as below.

“I treated brain atrophy with moxibustion for 4 months, for 3–6 hours a day. Because of the brain atrophy, my right hand and right foot were disobedient to the point that I would often drop something and not know it. I couldn’t drive my car. My right foot moved too slowly. I had taken Western medicine for 7 months, but my condition was getting worse. I got angry and I then stopped all the Western medicine and started to do moxibustion by myself. It was only 4 months before I dared to drive again. I am now in good spirits and remember things well. Moxibustion is really effective. I should also say, persistence is very important. Also, you should keep increasing the heat a bit; otherwise, the effect is too slow.”
