About Headaches
Headache (migraine), in Chinese medicine comes under the category �one sided headache� and is characterized by recurrent attacks of headache, with or without warning signs or visual and gastrointestinal disturbances.
Western Medicine View
Western medicine focuses on pain management by prescribing painkillers. We would normally advise patients to see their GP first in order to clarify the diagnosis. Those who have already been investigated by their GPs or consultants can bring the results of the investigations, such as reports of MIR scan or any blood tests.
Chinese Medicine View
Chinese medicine aims not only to relieve the pain but also to deal with the root problem. In Chinese medicine, headaches are treated differently depending on their causes:
1. Wind: Wind invasion can disturb the harmony of Qi and Blood causing headaches (e.g., in common cold)
2. Excessive Liver Yang energy: headaches are accompanied by dizziness, bitter taste in mouth, anxiety and short temperedness (e.g. in high blood pressure)
3. Deficiency of Blood and Qi: slow onset of headaches accompanied by heaviness of head and eyes, tiredness or exhaustion and pale complexion
4. Blood stagnation: headaches can be sharp and often have fixed locations; patients often complain of loss of memory and concentration, palpitations; some may have history of head injury.
Treatment Options
Acupuncture and Chinese herbs. All the causes can be present in migraine and understandably treatment can be very different for each patient. People vary in their response to treatment, e.g. some respond better to acupuncture while others better to herbs.

Case History
A patient who was suffering from daily Migraine, had treatment involving acupuncture and massage at AcuMedic. The Migraine ceased after four treatments. One year later they had the same treatment to alleviate headaches (not Migraine). The result was a 90% improvement (with the addition of Herbal Tonic).
