Headaches are a common affliction that many people, after not finding relief elsewhere, seek help for through traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Treating headaches is one of TCM’s fortes.
To relieve pain, you must first find out what is causing it. In general, people with headaches usually have one or more of the following five habits:
- High self-expectation and pressure.
- Improper posture, especially tilting the head forward.
- Often eats cold foods.
- Wet hair after bathing.
- Overworked, stressed.
