Did you know that there are at least 18 different types of
headaches in Chinese medical theory, coming from at least 8 different causes?
The causes can range from childbirth to stress. Acupuncture can trace the cause of the headache to its
internal roots where it can remove blockages allowing free flow energy to take
place.
Taking a pill for relief can only mask headaches and they
will most likely come back because it is usually due to an internal issue?
Depending on what part of the head the ache is in, its quality and related
symptoms an acupuncturist can trace it back to an imbalance or blockage in an organ
system. The headache is a symptom of that internal imbalance and the body is
trying to tell you that with the headache.
The head is an extension of all the internal organs, but for
the most part headaches can be linked to the Spleen, Stomach, Liver and
Gallbladder. With proper diagnosis
an acupuncturist can find the right points on the body that can be manipulated
to create internal balance in those organs.
The forehead is basically an extension of the Spleen and
Stomach, a place of digestion, you may get headaches in this area because of
what you ate or drank, or didn’t eat or drink. You may notice that when you get hungry or thirsty a
headache comes on, and the same goes for eating and drinking too much. The
forehead ache is your body telling you something is up with your belly.
However, if the headaches are chronic, it may be more then a diet issue, which
an acupuncturist can help with by removing blockages and strengthening the
Spleen and Stomach pathways.
The sides, top and back of your head can all be traced back
to the liver and gallbladder; this is because the liver has many functions in
the body. One of its major functions is storing and cleaning the blood. If
the headache is on the sides of the head it has to do more with blood, which
actually also has to do with diet. Good quality blood comes from good quality
food. Eating a healthy breakfast
is one key to getting rid of the temple or behind the eye headaches. If that
doesn’t help an acupuncturist can open up any blockages creating a free flow of
energy.
The liver also has a major emotional aspect to it, it is
believed to be the home of our soul or the part of our souls that have to do
with seeing our purpose in life coming true. The gallbladder is in charge of
making decisions for those purposes; because of this the liver and gallbladder
are connected to the emotion of anger and frustration.
If the ache is at the top or the back of the head, it
has more to do with anger, frustration, stress and tension. Have you ever met
some one that didn’t follow their dreams? Or happened to lead a very stressful
life? They are prone to anger,
stress and depression, because of this their headaches will either rise up the
back of their neck and cause a tension headache or go straight to the top of
the head causing a major head
throbbing. An acupuncturist can help bring down that rising energy and release
tension in the area with specific acupuncture points.
Acupuncture helps by removing blockages on a physical level
that can create balance both physically and emotionally. When to much energy
rises to the head, or a blockage occurs resulting in pain in the head,
acupuncture can bring down the energy and or open blockages allowing a free
flow energy to take place.
If you or some one you know suffers from headaches I would
recommend trying acupuncture for a change, it is side effect free and usually
quite relaxing. I hope you have enjoyed this article, please leave and any
comments or questions and have a wonderful day!

ReplyDeleteBy inserting acupuncture needles into specific points along meridians, or energy pathways, the flow of Qi can be corrected. Activating your Qi with acupuncture can stop your headache pain and increase your body’s natural healing abilities.

ReplyDeleteThese acupressure points relax the nervous system, the brain, and release stiff necks and headaches. Inhale deeply as you bring your head back slightly more, and exhale as you release the pressure, allowing your hands to glide into your lap.
