TCM views headaches and migraines as energy blockages caused by Liver Qi stagnation, Wind invasion, Blood deficiency, or Phlegm dampness that disrupt natural circulation and cause pain.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), headaches and migraines are often caused by imbalances such as Liver Qi stagnation, Wind invasion, Blood deficiency, or Phlegm dampness blocking natural energy flow. Emotional stress, dietary triggers, weather changes, and chronic fatigue can trigger or worsen these conditions by disrupting the body's internal harmony.
