My mother suffered from a chronic illness for a long time. Suddenly, she began to weep uncontrollably. I knew this was a Heart disease. After moxibustion on Baihui (GV20), she recovered. Whenever I encounter feelings of sorrow or desolation, I also invariably moxa this point. Those suffering from this condition should not fail to believe in its efficacy.
