Acupuncture

Acupuncture is not commonly thought of when it comes to headaches. However, it is a very common practice in China and is extremely effective in decreasing, minimizing, and removing the common symptoms of a headache. Depending on the location of the headache i.e. Frontal, Parietal, Occipital will determine the effective channels or meridians to be stimulated or reduced according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory.

Meridians

Meridians are invisible energy pathways, or meridians, to address a patient’s underlying disharmony. Practitioners palpate the radial pulse and examine the tongue to diagnose internal organ conditions. These tools reveal where vital energy, or Qi, needs stimulation or reduction. For instance, Qi deficiency may cause headaches, low energy, sweet cravings, easy bruising, and bloating. Tonifying Qi through acupuncture reduces headache recurrence. Similarly, herbal medicine restores balance and harmony. This approach effectively targets the root cause, promoting overall health.

Acupuncture Treatment for Headaches

Headache Treatment

Liver Chi stagnation causes impatience, irritability, reactiveness, and digestive issues like constipation, acid reflux, or distension. Patients may wake between 1–3 a.m. or struggle to sleep until then. These signs confirm Liver Chi stagnation in TCM. Specific acupuncture points effectively move Liver Chi. Additionally, certain herbal medicines relieve Liver Chi stagnation. This condition often triggers headaches.
