Headache in the forehead area

 

 

There are different causes for Headache and it can be quite a challenge to get this problem under control. Nevertheless, TCM has a wealth of experience to offer in the treatment of headaches. The whole thing requires patience, though. It is not done with a few individual applications. This cannot be emphasized enough, especially with this problem. Especially with headaches, people are used to swallowing a painkiller and feeling better.

Acupuncture works more slowly, but more persistently, because it treats the problem at its root.

 

I would like to explain to you exactly how this works by means of the individual points presented here.

 

To do this, you need to know that there are several triggers for headaches. The most important are:

 

  • Physical triggers such as neck tension or eye problems.
  • Nutritional causes
  • Emotional triggers such as stress, anger, depression, etc.

 

If one were to see a TCM doctor who performs an exact diagnosis, then he could decide what the exact reason is. Based on this diagnosis, he then gives the appropriate acupuncture points. Since we can't do that in our case, the program is designed to work on all 3 triggers mentioned. However, we pay for that by making the program a little longer. Therefore, it may well be that after a few weeks of practicing, you will notice that you have success with individual points as well. It is not always necessary to work on all points. It is an interesting task to find out how many points you need minimally. You can also experiment with individual points and find your personal headache protocol.

 

 

Pam3 This point at the beginning of the program is one of my favorite acupuncture points. The reason is simple, it works on mental stress by relaxing our frontal brain. A region that has been shown to go into overactivity when stressed. With this point we calm our mind and thus quite automatically the entire body and its functions. The point first of all causes a shutdown of the nervous system and brings relaxation in general.

 

Bl2 This point also acts locally on the frontal lobe of the brain. In addition, it relieves tension in the bladder meridian. If we look at the course of the bladder meridian, we see that it goes all over the head and back to the toes. Headaches can also start from the whole back and radiate upwards. With this point, we release the blockages along this important pathway and ensure that no tension radiates upward into the head here.

 

Di4 Nothing really needs to be said about this point. It is one of the 3 most important acupuncture points of all. In addition, it is the most important pain point for everything in the head area. So if you can't think of anything to acupressure, take this point. It has a very positive effect especially for headaches!

 

GB14 Tensions can spread upward through the back of the body, along the bladder meridian. But equally, they can make their way up through the side of the body. This happens via the gallbladder meridian, which runs along the side of the body. The point GB 14 has the function to locally dissolve these tensions, which then appear in the forehead area. Furthermore, this is a point that, when painful, indicates that the gallbladder energy is disturbed. The treatment of this point resolves this disturbance.

 

Ma36 The following 2 points of the stomach meridian are effective when the problem is nutritional. Stomach 36 is one of the 3 most important acupuncture points of all. It harmonizes the entire digestive system and ensures that the food is optimally digested so that the body is supplied with all important nutrients.

 

Ma44 This point causes a harmonization of the digestive tract and especially a sinking of energy from the head area downwards. It is precisely this movement of energy from top to bottom that is very important in the case of headaches. Metaphorically speaking, there is too much energy in the head and too little at the bottom. Therefore, the goal of the self-acupucture is to drain the energy downward.

 

Le3 Another important point, which also has a lowering effect direction on the Qi. On the other hand, it affects the psyche and relaxes emotionally, which can also be very helpful for headaches.

A liver qi blockage is considered a common trigger of headaches in TCM, because the liver generally regulates the tension of the muscles in the body. If there is a blockage here, we have increased muscle tone throughout the body, which is a good condition to get all kinds of pain conditions, especially headaches. With this point we want to increase the effect here.

 

 

Other tips that have proven successful:

 

  • 1 cup of coffee (for people who drink little or no coffee)
  • Drink a large glass of water
  • Rest and sleep
  • Moist compresses on forehead

     

Here is another video in which I show you a self-massage. In addition, I also give you exercises from the Meridian Yoga. Also a few western herbs and spices I will not withhold from you.

Qi Gong

The word Qi Gong consists of 2 syllables - Qi and Gong. The Chinese term "Qi" can be translated for us most likely by "life energy". But it contains more than this. It also means breath and air. In Chinese medicine, Qi is considered to be the invigorating force that flows through all living things. However, Qi is not only inside the body of a living being, but also outside. Qi also shows itself to us in nature. Thus animals, flowers and trees are flowed through by Qi. Qi is the living force that is inherent in everything and that makes life possible.

 

The Japanese call this force "Ki". In India it is called "Prana". It always means the same thing - the power and energy that is inherent in everything and keeps us alive. In Chinese medicine, health is only possible when the Qi in our body is pure, not polluted and can flow freely.

 

Due to bad living habits, in the course of time, energy blockages can occur in the body system and as a result, diseases can manifest, which can be physical or psychological in nature. Generally speaking, we can say that a living person has Qi throughout the body.

 

The word "gong means roughly "body work" or "success through perseverance and practice". Therefore Qi Gong is called "Work with the life energy". We learn to improve the flow and distribution of Qi in our body through movement and concentration to strengthen our health and bring body and mind into harmony. At the same time we learn to stand correctly, between heaven and earth. This significantly improves posture and many aches and pains disappear on their own.

 

Qi Gong is a holistic healing system with a long tradition, which has been continuously developed until today. It includes health-promoting postures, movement, self-massage, breathing techniques and meditation. Through these various exercise methods, Qi is supposed to be collected and stored in the body, like in a reservoir. The goal is to expel the impure Qi and absorb fresh pure Qi.

 

Qi Gong is not a medicine that is prescribed for a limited time, but rather it should be practiced daily. In this regard, 20 minutes of daily practice is enough to improve health and one's well-being to a great extent.

 

Anyone can practice qigong. There are exercises for every age and every state of health. The exercises can be practiced standing, sitting, lying down or walking. So even physically challenged people can easily practice Qi Gong and improve your health in a sustainable way.
