Can acupuncture cure epilepsy?

Chinese medicine can cure epilepsy. Epilepsy is considered to be divided into two types in traditional Chinese medicine: actual symptoms and deficiency symptoms. Actual symptoms are considered to be closely related to the disturbance of wind and phlegm. This type of patient will normally choose some acupuncture points to extinguish wind and resolve phlegm, reduce fire and concentrate, such as Shenzhu acupuncture points, Taichong acupuncture point, Fenglong acupuncture point, etc. In addition, some epilepsy diseases are deficiency symptoms, and treatment mainly focuses on nourishing the heart and spleen, resolving phlegm and calming the mind. The selected acupoints are Shenshu, Sanyinjiao, Zusanli, Baihui and so on. If necessary, it can be treated with moxibustion therapy. Patients with serious conditions can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine or western medicine to improve clinical efficacy.
