HeadAch

To be used as a supplement to a balanced diet when headache or migraine symptoms are present.

From the Western scientific perspective, headaches may appear in the absence of organic pathological changes although they sometimes occur during disease states. While most headaches are transient, some can be extremely severe and recurrent over periods of months and years.

From the Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective the head is the meeting place of all Yin and Yang channels. Exogenous factors (wind, cold, dampness) may attack the head, obstructing blood circulation and the flow of Qi. Some internal factors that bring about headaches are excessive Liver Yang, deficient Kidney Essence, or deficient Qi and Blood. Any of these disturbances to Qi and blood circulation can cause headaches.
