Abstract: This report introduces a case of Professor Zou Wei utilizing the method of calming the spirit and extinguishing wind through acupuncture to treat Wilson’s disease (WD). Existing research indicates that acupuncture, as an adjunct therapy, shows potential benefits in alleviating symptoms of various movement disorders, improving quality of life, and reducing side effects of Western medicine. The documented patient exhibited internal movement of wind-yang and insufficient nourishment of the limbs’ muscles and tendons. The treatment principle involves calming the spirit and awakening the brain, extinguishing wind, and relaxing the muscles to stop tremors. The selected acupuncture points include Baihui, Qian Shencong, Fengchi, Yintang, and Taiyang to calm the spirit and open the meridians; bilateral Taichong, Sanyinjiao, Yinlingquan, and Waiguan to nourish yin, extinguish wind, and soften the liver. Each acupuncture session involved retaining needles for 50 minutes, once daily, for 7 days per week, for three weeks. After treatment, the patient was able to get out of bed and walk independently, with residual symptoms significantly alleviated. A follow-up after 4 months revealed that the patient’s condition was stable compared to before; walking had returned to normal, and limb tremors had diminished, leading to overall improvement.
