Headache
The head is where all the yang channels of the hand and foot meet. Attack
of endogenous or exogenous factors may cause headaches due to
derangement of Vital energy and Blood in the head and retardation of the
circulation of Vital energy in the channels that traverse the head.
Headache such as in a common cold is caused by exogenous pathogenic
factors. Headache of endogenous origin, called " HEADWIND" is
intermittent, protracted and intractable. Pain occurs on either side of the
head. It may be of the excess or deficiency type, the former due mainly to
hyperactivity of yang of the Liver and the later due to deficiency of vital
energy and blood.
