I am looking for advice on treating tension headaches along the GB

channel. The pattern I commonly see is Liv qi Stagnation, not Liv

Yang rising. The patients complain of one-sided headache, with muscle

spasms near GB 12 radiating up over the ear and into the temple. I

can easily get acupunture to alleviate the pain for a day or three,

but have not yet found any herbal formulas that work. So far I have

tried Xiao Yao Wan, Shu Gan Wan and Tian Ma Gou Teng Wan. I

particularly need herbs or combinations of herbs that relax the GB

channel muscles. Any suggestions based on real experience rather than

theory?
