The Psoriasis thread was so interesting and I'd love to see what the case would be for those who are afflicted with migraines. I'm wondering where in my chart would indicate the presence of these bad headaches.

Would it be because I have a "dry" chart with no water in my top 8 pillars?

Thanks in advance!

Dear Sunshine

As I am learning , I shall give a try to decode. You have your Day Pillar supported by fire from the Month Pillar. strengthening small intestine and shoulders,
The reason for your headaches is your day pillar Jia ( Yang wood ) sitting on Shen (Yang metal), this is an indication of Headache , as Jia resembles Head and is cut off by the metal element Shen. The blood circulation is not reaching to the requirement till your Head. Also your fire is strong at month pillar to support your Father ( your shoulders are strong).

seniors please do correct me

Cheers

That is so interesting, Gautam! Thank you for your thoughts and sharing your knowledge!

Dear Sunshine,



The reason why I didn't reply your request was that according to The Traditional Chinese Medicine they didn't give much information about the Head, or inside the head. The Five Organs network didn't include the Head, so I have to exam the Qi-flow in the head.


It causes me also head-aches.


Saphora will not be Saphora if I give up, the more complex problem it is you will find Saphora.



I will come back.



Health subject is my Passion and Ambition, so why not?




Saphora

This is great news. I am very excited to hear your thoughts, Saphora. Very interesting to hear that the head is not included in traditional Chinese medicine. I did not know that.

Thank you again. Looking forward to it.

Dear Sunshine,



Sure the head is the most important part of our body. According to TCM when the 5 important Organs Network is in Balance, the head is also in balance.

An example about the Ear, even the ear there are lots of Qi-points, see picture.


Well about Head-aches, why we worry about it?


Just take a Pain-killer than the problem is solved, right?

For a woman, the monthly cycle is a common head-ache, due to in-balance of the Hormone levels and blood-pressure.


If it is chronic, like Migrain head-ache, than we could look deeper into your chart.


Head-ache in general was caused by the imbalance of the Liver-network.


Your Resource element is a Water element, also the Indirect Resource. This covers your way of Thinking process.


Water is also a Fear-emotion, in worst case, Social Anxiety. The reason is that Water-element couldn't reach the Yang Wood DM.


Wood or the Liver needs that Resource Water element to support the Liver-network.


Fire in the Month-pillar obstruct the Water being reach the Yang Wood DM.


The most important aspect is your Spouse pillar, Yang Metal.


Metal will attack Wood (Liver), the main causes of the Head-ache is due to blockage of the Liver-network.


In other meaning, there will be pressure in your Marriage (husband) or men in your life.

Dear Reader,


In the West, a symptom like Headache may be treated universally with Aspirin, Tylenol or Paracetamol. The Doctor could advice you just to drink lots of water and go to sleep.


This same headache needs differentiating in Chinese Medicine.

For example, disturbance of the Liver Network can produce Migraine or bilious headaches associated with nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and noise. These headaches may be provoked by anger and occur more frequently in the spring.
Disturbance of the stomach and Intestines may cause headaches associated with nasal and sinus congestion, acidity, flatulence, and constipation. This type of headache may appear in the morning and improve in the evening.

Especially in hot, humid weather, disturbances of the Spleen and Heart may cause headaches associated with fatigue, dizziness, perspiration, and anxiety. In Winter, headaches associated with backache, chilliness, and profuse urination may suggest a disturbance of the kidney.

The Headache could be a simple matter of acute indigestion or related to a complex and chronic problem such as hypertension, asthma, allergies, or Premenstrual Syndrome.


Only a simple Headache there is for TCM lots of differentiations.


Now if we focus on her Wood-element (Liver Network),

Does her Headache improve in the future?


Yes, according her 10 year Luck Pillar she is going in the Wood-phase, which it supports her Wood-element or her Liver Network.


Her future looks pretty good and very stable, so I would think her health is improving and no need to worry in the near future.
