A lot of things. There are many studies about scalp acupuncture you can find with a simple google search.
That is a complicated question. A lot can be done to your head, usually a good balancing effect. You should schedule an appointment for details.
Are you talking about head pain, mental problems, or emotional issues? Most treatments will be relaxing and calming, no matter what you're being treated for.
Acupuncture for head can treat migraines-headaches, sinus-allergies, but it should combine with other points with herbs, and other issues too.
Thank you for you question.
I have to be honest, though, I do not understand your question. Head meaning mood? Meaning pain management? Sleep? There are many possibilities here regarding your question. Acupuncture is all encompassing and can be a safe addition to all types of medical care helping with relaxation, pain management, and sleep.
Hope this helps,

There are many applications of scalp acupuncture (acupuncture points on the head). A very good description of the benefits comes from the National Aphasia Association "scalp acupuncture treats and prevents disease through the proper insertion of needles into scalp areas. It is accompanied by special manipulations to regulate and harmonize the functional activities of the brain and body, as well as to restore and strengthen the functions of the body, organs, and tissues."
Could you be more specific? Acupuncture promotes circulation, which can battle headaches, nasal congestion, signs of aging, jaw pain, toothache, earache, and so much more. There are a lot of acu points on the head that can help with other parts of the body as well. Acupuncture can also be helpful for foggy headedness, forgetfulness, poor focus, and mental/emotional problems.
That is a broad question. I can tell you that acupuncture is very efficient in treating many problems of the head and others.
Hello! You are referring to scalp acupuncture. Most commonly used for treating neurological disorders such as stroke, headaches/migraines, and memory etc....
Depends where on the head. If On the scalp, the face, the ears... all have different purposes. Ears are great for mood disorders and addiction. Face is great for draining sinuses and help with TMJ. Scalp is great for bringing Qi to the top of the body of the Qi is sinking...
Hello and thank you for your question! The answer depends on the individual who is getting a treatment and their symptomology. Acupuncture can help alleviate headaches, TMJ, eye disorders, ear disorders, congestion, dryness, and much more, in which an acupuncturist may decide to use local points on the head, face, and neck to increase circulation to that particular area to alleviate specific symptoms. I hope this was helpful!
Acupuncture can do many of many things on body. According to a map of brain’s functional areas of cerebral cortex, Dr Jiao ( physician of neurological) proposed a projections location of schemes for acupuncturists when they needling on head in 1970. Example: Along with precentral gyrus relevant locations needling can treat corresponding part of body’s motor problems; along with postcentral gyrus relevant locations needling can treat corresponding part of body’s sensory problems. Post stroke syndrome use acupuncture on relevant projections areas can help patients in greatnesses.
Acupuncture that is done on the head mainly can help with headaches and also can help with relaxation. Depending on which part of the head that the acupuncture is done on, there can be other benefits as well.
If you are asking about needle placement on the head, these points can be used for several reasons such as improving focus, lifting someone's energy or mood, or treating bells palsy or stroke. If you're asking what acupuncture can do for conditions involving the head, like headaches or lightheadedness, the answer is that acupuncture is very effective in treating these conditions; even without placing needles on the head.
I hope this answers your question!

I'm not clear on what you mean when you say "acupuncture for the head". I'm going to assume you're referring to acupuncture needles placed in the scalp/head area. If you're actually referring to acupuncture for an issue on/in the head, then that's a slightly different thing.
There are a variety of reasons why an acupuncturist might choose to place needles in the scalp. Of the 12 primary channels typically used for most acupuncture treatments, 6 either start or end on the head/face. In addition to these, there are 2 extraordinary vessels which also have points on the head/face. The points on these channels can be utilized for a variety of issues from allergy to migraine to alcohol intoxication to reviving someone who has passed out to anxiety and depression.
In addition to the regular channel points, there are several systems of scalp acupuncture and a variety of so-called "extra" points on the face/head. Taken together, these points might be used for issues as varied as organ prolapse, tremor/dyskinesia, tinnitus, asthma, visual issues, hemiplegia or partial paralysis and a whole litany of other problems.
Chinese medicine in general and acupuncture in particular are not based on the typical symptomatic type treatments most people are familiar with in conventional medicine. The acupuncture system represents an interconnected network with a variety of nodes which may be accessed in a variety of ways to treat a variety of conditions.
