Understanding Migraines and Headaches

Migraines and headaches are common conditions characterised by throbbing, pulsating pain in the head, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound, and other symptoms. They can be triggered by various factors, including stress, hormonal changes, dietary factors, and environmental triggers.

How Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine Can Help

Acupuncture:

Acupuncture is a key component of TCM that involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific acupuncture points along the body’s meridians to restore balance and promote healing. Here’s how acupuncture can help with migraines and headaches:

• Pain Relief: Acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals, which can alleviate migraine and headache pain and promote relaxation.
• Stress Reduction: Acupuncture helps regulate the nervous system and reduce stress levels, which are common triggers for migraines and headaches.
• Improved Blood Flow: Acupuncture promotes better circulation and blood flow to the brain, which can help alleviate symptoms and prevent future episodes.

Chinese Herbal Medicine:

Chinese herbal medicine utilises natural herbs and botanicals to address imbalances in the body and promote healing from within. Here’s how Chinese herbal medicine can complement acupuncture for migraine and headache relief:

• Customised Formulas: Our experienced herbalists will create customised herbal formulas tailored to your specific symptoms and constitutional imbalances to address the root causes of your migraines and headaches.
• Long-Term Support: Chinese herbal medicine provides long-term support for migraine and headache management by addressing underlying imbalances in the body and promoting overall health and well-being.
