How does TCM classify and treat headaches?

Headache is either a symptom or a symptom in medicine, and TCM divides it into internal injury headache and external headache. External headaches are mainly caused by wind-heat colds or wind-cold colds; Headaches caused by external infections are called internal injury headaches, such as hypertension, stroke, neuropathic pain, increased intracranial pressure, etc., which can cause headaches; For example, headache caused by deficiency, excessive bleeding due to blood deficiency, and the inability of blood to travel up to nourish the brain causes headache; Some trauma can also cause headaches, so headaches should be differentiated according to the cold, heat, deficiency and reality of traditional Chinese medicine, so as to achieve better efficacy.

Subdivided from the meridians of traditional Chinese medicine,On the head, there are nine meridians passing through the Du Pulse, Ren Meridian, six Yang meridians and Liver Meridian。The six yang meridians are: Foot Sun Bladder Meridian, Foot Shaoyang Bile Meridian, Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian, Foot Yang Ming Stomach Meridian, Hand Yang Ming Large Intestine Meridian, and Hand Sun Small Intestine Meridian.

Therefore, the ancients called the head the head of the six yangs. In the Yin meridian, only the Yin and Liver meridians reach the head, and it is recorded in the "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Dacheng" that the liver meridian follows the trachea, goes up into the jaw (larynx), connects the eye system (the vein connection behind the eyeball), and ascends from the forehead, and intersects with the Du pulse and the top of the head.

Therefore, people who have a loss of qi and blood in the liver meridian have no hair on the top of their heads. There is also an allusion to "angry hair rushing to the crown", when a person is angry, the excess qi and blood rush to the top of the head along the liver meridian, this power can lift the crown brought by the ancients. The words of the ancients are really profound word for word.

Based on our understanding of the meridians of the head, we can judge which meridian and which organ we have a problem based on the location of the stasis of the head. Let's take headache as an example to talk about meridian dialectic. Common headaches are divided into the following four conditions.

1. The pain in the head and forehead is a problem caused by gastric congestion. The treatment method can be to find the tendon knot on the head and forehead and massage, and you can also tap the Li Dui acupoint on the opposite foot.

2. The pain on both sides of the head is a problem caused by biliary meridian stasis. The treatment method can be to find the tendon knots on both sides of the head and massage, and you can also tap the foot acupoint on the opposite foot.

3. The pain in the back of the head is a problem caused by bladder stasis. The treatment can be done by massaging the tendon knot on the back of the head, or by tapping the yin point on the opposite foot.

4. The pain on the top of the head is a problem caused by liver meridian stasis. The treatment method can be to find the tendon knot massage on the top of the head, and you can also click on the Taichong acupoint or Dadun acupoint on both feet.

Most people's heads don't hurt, but there are soft and hard bags, and the principle of dialectics is the same as the dialectic of headaches. We often hear that "headache cures" is actually this principle.

That, let me tell you my opinion, just for reference I feel that you are not a sign of yin deficiency, but a sign of hyperactivity of liver yang, and you should usually be very angry Liver fire offends the stomach, and there are 1 series of stomach fever symptoms such as bitter mouth, dry mouth, bad breath, thirst, and desire to drink; H. pylori positivity1 usually does not cause these symptoms. The irritable mood, chest tightness and pain, and the astringency and pain in the eyes are all caused by the prolongation of the liver fire. Miscarriage should also be the result of blood fever.

Vertigo can be caused by many diseases: cerebral insufficiency, vertebrobasilar insufficiency, Meniere's disease, high blood pressure, diabetic ketosis, hepatic encephalopathy, cerebrovascular disease, tumors, etc.

Neijing

The description of dizziness is: all winds are dizzy, and the liver wind moves internally. That is to say, the disease of the head is generally more common in hepatobiliary diseases due to the influence of the foot and less yang and gallbladder meridians.

For example, high blood pressure is mostly due to hyperactivity of liver yang, and the first choice is gastrodia hook vine soup and liver quenching soup. And because the brain is Qi Heng's intestine and is feared by the sea of marrow, the sea of marrow is empty and gallbladder is suspended by neurasthenia, insomnia or excessive use of the brain that causes headache and dizziness. There are also many kinds of wind cold, internal heat, blood deficiency, blood stasis and so on.

However, hepatobiliary is the first choice for diagnosis, so the diagnosis of the pulse is arbitrary. To analyze the effect of non-separation of kidney, water, spleen and soil on liver wood. Let's put it simply.

Discretionary is vertigo; or diseases of insufficient blood supply; Let's go to the Chinese medicine (number pulse) to have a look; Maybe Chinese medicine will work well.
