Which points can be used to address dizziness from liver yang rising?

The choice of points GB-20 and BL-18 for addressing dizziness caused by liver yang rising is grounded in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) principles.

GB-20, also known as Fengchi, is located at the base of the skull and is commonly used to expel wind and alleviate headaches and dizziness. This point is particularly effective when addressing conditions related to excess yang, as it helps to calm the liver and align the flow of qi, thereby countering the rising action that can lead to dizziness.

BL-18, or Gan Shu, is the back-shu point for the liver. It plays a significant role in regulating liver function, which is essential in conditions where liver yang is in excess. By tonifying the liver and helping to harmonize its energy, BL-18 supports the calming of the yang that may be contributing to symptoms of dizziness.

Together, these points effectively target the underlying issue associated with dizziness from liver yang rising by balancing the liver's energy and addressing the associated symptoms.
