Prognosis and Frequency of Treatment

Best results are obtained if treatment is given within one month of the Wind-stroke attack and
good results if within 3 months. It is difficult to treat Wind-stroke of more than six months'
duration and even more difficult if more than a year has elapsed. However, in my experience, it
is always worth trying, even if the Wind-stroke occurred more than a year previously.

If the stroke occurred within the last three months, treatment should be given literally every day,
including Sundays. If the stroke occurred more than three months previously, treatment may be
given every other day. A break of one to two weeks is necessary after one to two months.
