You check your blood pressure at the pharmacy and it is higher than you expected — again. If that sounds familiar, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a very specific way of describing what is happening: your <strong>liver yang is rising</strong> (肝陽上亢, <em>gān yáng shàng kàng</em>), and it has been rising for a while.</p> <p>High blood pressure (hypertension) affects roughly <strong>1.3 billion adults worldwide</strong>, according to the <a href="https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/hypertension">World Health Organization</a> — and with World Heart Day approaching on September 29, it is a good moment to look at cardiovascular health from every angle. This guide explains how TCM understands high blood pressure as a <em>pattern of disharmony</em> rather than a number, and what you can do about it with calming foods, daily habits, and three well-known acupressure points — always alongside, never instead of, your doctor&rsquo;s care.</p>https://tcm-wellness.pages.dev/posts/tcm-headaches-migraines-guide/Sun, 30 Aug 2026 07:30:00 +0800https://tcm-wellness.pages.dev/posts/tcm-headaches-migraines-guide/<p>Most headaches are not a disease — they are a message. In traditional Chinese medicine, pain in the head means that qi, blood, or fluids are stuck, rising, or running low in exactly the wrong place. Instead of reaching for painkillers every time, TCM asks a different question: why does this headache keep coming back?</p> <p>This guide covers the TCM view of headaches and migraines — the common patterns behind them, six acupressure points you can press at home, herbal teas that fit each pattern, and the lifestyle triggers that quietly fuel recurring head pain. It is written to complement conventional care, not replace it. If you get tension headaches before deadlines or migraines that follow your cycle, keep reading.</p>https://tcm-wellness.pages.dev/posts/tcm-headache-migraine-guide/Sun, 16 Aug 2026 06:55:00 +0800https://tcm-wellness.pages.dev/posts/tcm-headache-migraine-guide/<blockquote> <p><strong>Health &amp; Safety Notes</strong></p> <ul> <li>This content is educational wellness information, not medical advice or diagnosis.</li> <li>Suitable for: general adult self-care reference.</li> <li>Consult a qualified practitioner before use if you are pregnant, nursing, have a chronic condition, take medication, or treat children.</li> <li>Red flags — seek medical care if: symptoms are severe, worsening, or persistent; sudden or unexplained pain; fever; numbness/weakness.</li> <li>Information reviewed: 2026-09.
