Headache is a common disease in internal medicine and has many causes. Traditional Chinese medicine generally divides headaches into symptoms and deficiency syndromes. Different symptoms may be factors that induce tumors. Therefore, it is recommended to seek medical treatment as soon as possible to eliminate tumor lesions.
Traditional Chinese medicine requires the diagnosis and cause of headache treatment, "same disease and different treatments", so different treatment methods may be used for different syndrome types.
1. For headaches caused by deficiency syndrome, the main causes are qi deficiency, blood deficiency, and liver and kidney deficiency. Due to weakness in the body, it is easy to cause the body's immunity to decrease, which reduces the body's resistance to disease, so the probability of inducing tumor lesions will increase, and headache lesions caused by deficiency syndrome should be actively regulated. The main treatment principle is "to supplement it if you are weak", which is mainly based on "supplement method".
1. Qi deficiency: mainly manifested as headaches accompanied by weak body, depression, dislike of activities, etc. There is a typical prescription for traditional Chinese medicine treatment, which is Duguan Decoction, which plays a good role in replenishing qi through ginseng. In addition, Sijunzi Decoction can also be used to regulate the qi of the spleen and stomach, and relieve the symptoms of headache by replenishing qi.
2. Blood deficiency: The headache caused by blood deficiency is usually persistent dull pain, accompanied by symptoms such as pale complexion, poor sleep, and easy dream. This type of headache is more common for women. Siwu Decoction can be used to replenish blood, promote qi, and relieve pain. You can also add two herbs, peach kernel and safflower, to form Taoren Siwu Decoction, so that the blood replenishment effect is better, thereby better alleviating the symptoms of headaches.
3. Liver and kidney deficiency: mainly manifested as headache accompanied by dry eyes and weak waist and legs. Some women may also manifest as short menstrual period and small amount. You can use Qiju Dihuang Decoction to supplement and subtract the liver and kidneys. After the liver and yin kidney essence is supplemented, the blood vessels on the head will be nourished, and the symptoms of headaches can be relieved.
2. For headaches caused by the empirical symptoms, the main causes are stagnation of qi, blood stasis, and phlegm and turbidity in the middle. Since these causes are prone to cause obstruction of the human meridians, a lump may form in the body over time and even develop into tumor lesions. Therefore, for headaches caused by empirical evidence, you need to actively seek medical treatment and rule out the tumor. The main treatment principle is "suck it if it is solid", which is mainly based on "sucking method".
1. Qi stagnation: It is mainly manifested as headache and refusal to press, and may also be accompanied by chest and flank swelling, dizziness and tinnitus, irritability and other symptoms. The main treatment methods are to relieve liver and regulate qi, unblock menstruation and revitalize qi, promote qi and relieve pain. Shugan Pills can be used for addition and subtraction treatment.
2. Blood stasis: It is mainly manifested as tingling or beating pain on one or both sides of the head, and may also be accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, and vision loss. The main treatment methods are to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, promote qi and relieve pain. Taohong Siwu Decoction can be used for treatment with addition and subtraction.
3. Phlegm and turbidity are obstructed: It is mainly seen in obese patients with phlegm and dampness. Phlegm and dampness blind the clear orifices, causing the body's yang energy to not rise, which can cause meridian blockage, thereby causing headaches. This type of headache is mostly stuffy and painful, with heavy feeling on the head, and is often accompanied by symptoms such as chest tightness, nausea, and loss of appetite. Erchen Decoction can be used for treatment with addition and subtraction, mainly using Pinellia ternata and tangerine peel plus some medicines that promote qi and relieve pain.
Traditional medicine can usually clarify the cause of headaches through syndrome differentiation, and then fundamentally solve the headache problems. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with headache seek medical treatment as soon as possible, eliminate tumor lesions as soon as possible, actively treat them, and restore health.
