If you’ve ever had a headache, you know that pain is a common experience, but its cause is often unique. Chinese medicine looks beyond the symptom to decode the specific pattern behind the pain.

This post explains why a throbbing headache (Liver Yang Rising) is treated differently from a dull, heavy ache (Blood Deficiency).

By understanding the root cause—whether it’s stagnation, wind, or dampness—acupuncture and lifestyle can offer lasting relief. Learn how treating the underlying pattern, not just the pain, is the key to a personalised approach.

This sophisticated approach allows practitioners to understand an illness's progression and intervene with proactive, rather than reactive, treatment.

Discover how these models offer a powerful and nuanced way of seeing the body as a dynamic landscape, ensuring that treatment is thoughtfully tailored to the specific stage of a disease.

What if your tongue could offer a direct window into your health? In Chinese medicine, it does.

Far from being just for taste, the tongue is a living map that reveals a snapshot of your internal balance. Its colour, shape, and coating provide a wealth of clues about your digestion, circulation, and organ health.

It's a key diagnostic tool that helps practitioners see beyond your symptoms to understand the subtle patterns that shape your wellbeing. Take a closer look and discover what your tongue is trying to tell you.
