How does TCM view {condition_name}?
TCM views trigeminal neuralgia as Wind, Cold, or Heat invasion affecting facial meridians, particularly Stomach, Large Intestine, and Gallbladder channels, causing Qi and Blood blockage.
Understanding the Root Cause
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), trigeminal neuralgia is classified under Facial Pain Syndrome, mainly caused by Wind, Cold, or Heat invading the meridians of the face, especially the Stomach, Large Intestine, and Gallbladder channels. This leads to Qi and Blood blockage, while Liver Qi stagnation or Blood deficiency may contribute to chronic pain and sensitivity.
Our Personalised Treatment Approach
Our approach combines:
Acupuncture: Disperse Wind and unblock facial meridians
Herbal Medicine: Harmonize Liver Qi and nourish Blood
Moxibustion: Warm meridians and improve facial circulation
