_Migraine.

If the attack is acute, it may also be accompanied by biliousness, dizziness and sometimes deafness and speech disturbances. Most migraine patients experience the symptoms as an intense pulsating pain at the temples. The known causes include psychological and physical stress, exhaustion (burn-out syndrome) and variations in the hormone level (PMS in women). Researchers furthermore suspect a genetic predisposition. Certain sounds, bright light and also food such as cheese and nuts could trigger a migraine attack.

On this topic, TCM says:

The migraine is also a vascular headache, treated by TCM from various angles since it does not constitute an independent disease. It is always the symptom of a disease or of a functional organ cycle. In the diagnosis, it is of particular importance to locate the pain, since this is an indication already of the meridians to be treated.

A student from Trier suffered from migraine for 4 years. She exhibited all the symptoms described above intensely. The TCM therapist diagnosed a kidney weakness and Qi-blood weakness and treated the corresponding meridians. The patient felt better already after 2 acupunctures with herb pillow treatment. After acupuncture with herb pillow treatment, she was without pain. The migraine has not recurred to this day.

The holistic approach of TCM is particularly appropriate in the case of headaches. Migraine patients may, for instance, exhibit muscle tension in the region of the abdomen and also menstruation pain. These patients also tend to suppress anger and fury and not to act. The TCM medical practitioner is in this case likely to treat points on the liver and gall bladder meridian as well.
