Headaches,

a Chinese Perspective.

 

 

Do you experience head pain in any part of your head such as the: forehead, occiput, sides or vertex.?  Headaches are extremely and uncomfortably common.

Western Medicine tends to organize them by symptoms such as: Migraine, hormonal headache, sinus headache, tension headache, cluster headache and the like but that tends to just treat the surface and not really delve into cause.

Chinese medicine has quite a different take on the cause and therefore treatment of chronic head pain.  According to TCM-Traditional Chinese Medicine, headaches are caused by external contraction or by bowel or visceral organ damage.  Head pain is believed to be caused by the impaired flow of qi or energy in the body's meridians or channels.  Examples of this are: environmental pathogens, blockage of qi in the liver or bowel, depletion of the body's kidney essence, depletion of marrow or blood, or depletion of the body's energy reserves. Headache can also be caused by blockage of the meridians due to phlegm obstruction due to incomplete digestion or food stagnation or even stagnation of the blood.

Getting to the underlying process of what exactly is causing the headaches is completely different from treating symptoms which can relieve the headache temporarily but make the underlying process even more resistant to treatment.

Treating symptoms is a waste of time, over time it also undermines your health! A Chinese doctor will do a thorough history, physical examination of the pulse and tongue and study intently the location of the headache and search for blockages in the meridians and stress in all the organs.

Then a treatment plan involving acupuncture, nutrition and herbs are customized to the patient and changed as the headaches change course over time and  eventually disappear. If you suffer from chronic headaches consider a Chinese solution for your pain.  You will experience many more benefits to your health than just resolution of your headaches.  One common chinese herbal preparation for headaches is gastrodia uncaria read more here!
