☯ DU 20<br />
This is the meeting point for Du, Bladder, Gallbladder, and San Jiao yang channels as well as<br />
the Liver channel. It is the most Yang point in the body and thus regulates Yang. Indicated<br />
for migraines, vertex pain. It is also said to treat sense organ problems.<br />
☯ Yintang<br />
For pain in the forehead<br />
☯ Taiyang<br />
Local point for migraine headaches, especially in the temporal region. Also eye pain.<br />
General rules: you can use gentle energetic body work/touch to help with migraine if the patient can<br />
tolerate it. You must find the specific/exact point however. If one side is too sensitive to be manipulated<br />
or touched, treat the opposite/contralateral side. GB 20 is the best point to treat acute headaches in order<br />
to relieve pain. Use a heavy stimulation here.<br />
Rising of Excessive Liver Yang/Liver Fire<br />
As implied this is an excess…but also can be a deficiency. Males experience this type more than<br />
females, but females may experience this before their periods.<br />
