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.
Trigeminal neuralgia causes sudden, severe, stabbing facial pain that can be triggered by the lightest touch, significantly impacting eating, speaking, and daily activities through intense neurological discomfort. At Qin's Clinic, we use Traditional Chinese Medicine to disperse pathogenic factors affecting facial meridians, unblock energy flow, and provide natural relief from this challenging neurological condition through targeted treatments.
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.
Acupuncture: Disperse Wind and unblock facial meridians
Herbal Medicine: Harmonize Liver Qi and nourish Blood
Moxibustion: Warm meridians and improve facial circulation
Acupuncture effectively reduces pain intensity and frequency by modulating neurotransmitters and reducing nerve inflammation (Zhao et al., 2017)
Integrating acupuncture with herbal treatments improves quality of life and reduces medication reliance (Lee et al., 2013)
