Migraines & Chronic Headaches

Acupuncture for migraine relief and chronic headache treatment at Beijing Tong Ren Tang TCM clinic in Dubai.

The TCM Perspective: Understanding the "Wind" in the Head

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, headaches are rarely seen as a localized issue. They are often described as a disturbance in the flow of $Qi$ (Vital Energy) and Blood reaching the head. Whether it is "External Wind" (environmental triggers) or "Internal Imbalance" (organ disharmony), our goal is to identify the specific pathway that is blocked.

By treating the body as a whole, we don't just dull the pain; we aim to reduce the frequency, intensity, and duration of your headaches by stabilizing your internal environment.

Primary Patterns We Address

Liver Yang Rising: Often triggered by stress or anger, causing throbbing pain on the sides of the head (temples), often accompanied by irritability or blurred vision.
Blood Stagnation: Characterized by sharp, "boring," or fixed pain in one spot, often following a long history of chronic issues or past injury.
Damp Phlegm Accumulation: A "heavy" sensation, as if the head is wrapped in a tight cloth, often linked to digestive issues or "brain fog."
Qi & Blood Deficiency: Dull, lingering headaches that worsen with overwork or fatigue and improve with rest.

Our Comprehensive Solutions

1. Targeted Acupuncture

Acupuncture is clinically recognized for its effectiveness in neurological relief. By stimulating specific points along the gallbladder and urinary bladder meridians, we help:

Release muscular tension in the neck and shoulders.
Regulate blood flow to the brain to prevent the dilation/constriction cycle of migraines.
Trigger the release of endorphins the body's natural painkillers.

2. Specialized Herbal Therapy

We utilize time honored formulas, such as Chuan Xiong Cha Tiao San, customized to your symptoms. These herbs work to:

Expel "Wind" and "Cold" that trigger seasonal headaches.
Calm the Liver and sedate "Yang" to stop throbbing temple pain.
Nourish the blood to prevent deficiency based headaches.

3. Therapeutic Tuina (Medical Massage)

Our practitioners use specialized TCM massage techniques on the scalp, neck, and upper back to break down "Ashi" points (trigger points) that often refer pain to the forehead and eyes.

4. Lifestyle & Trigger Mapping

TCM is a partnership. We help you identify "triggers" from specific foods to sleep patterns and provide "Point Pressing" techniques (Acupressure) you can use at home the moment you feel a migraine beginning to surface.
