**Headache, the ancients often used the method of six meridian differentiation. Depending on the location of the headache, for example, the pain in the back of the head belongs to the Sun Meridian, and the pain in the front of the forehead belongs to the Yang Ming Meridian. However, we should not be too rigid about these categories. Headache is often accompanied by nausea and vomiting, and the cause is mainly related to the Yin and Yang meridians. The Yin Sutra and the Shaoyang Sutra are the surface and the inside of each other, and they live together in the human body. Diseases of the hepatobiliary meridian often affect each other, and liver disease may cause bile disease, and bile disease may also cause liver disease. In terms of prescription drugs, the drugs for liver disease are also suitable for bile disease, and the drugs for bile disease are also suitable for liver disease. In addition, the Yangming stomach is a sea of water valleys, which can accept all kinds of food and convert it into phlegm. The liver is the main wind and active, and the phlegm turbidity rises with the rise of the liver yang, resulting in headache and vomiting. In general, headaches are approached in much the same way as vertigo.
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has the concept of treating different diseases at the same time. Xu Huixi once said: "It is inaccurate to say that a certain drug can only ** a certain disease; It would also be inaccurate to say that a certain drug will definitely not act on the other meridians. It can only be said that a certain medicine should be used for the disease of a certain sutra, but it cannot be said that a certain drug can only be used for a certain sutra. ”
In the process, the selection of drugs is always based on the meridian theory, and according to the specific location of the pain, traditional Chinese medicine with the effect of meridian induction is added. For example, when there is pain in the back of the head, we will choose Qianghuo; For forehead pain, Angelica dahurica is used; When the temples hurt, peppermint and bupleurum are ideal. In the observation of tongue and pulse, we use the tongue coating as the primary basis, and the pulse as the secondary basis. For patients with severe disease, their tongue coating tends to be thick yellow or grayish, followed by light yellow greasy. If the tongue coating is normal and only slightly yellowish, the disease is mild. If the patient has no lichen and the tongue is red, shiny, and dry, this indicates that the heart and liver qi are vigorous, and the fluid is also depleted. The difference between this tongue and moss is significant. The former needs to clear away wind and heat while taking into account phlegm and turbidity; The latter needs to pay attention to nurturing yin while clearing the fire and calming the wind. These two situations are different in principle and cannot be confused. Regardless of the color of the tongue coating, as long as it has a greasy appearance, we should consider phlegm opacity. If the tongue is dry, red, or has dry thorns but no fluid, we should supplement it with the method of nurturing yin and rejuvenating the body. This is the difference and boundary between the two. For moss with greasy elephants, we usually use cold and bitter cold medicines, supplemented by phlegm, but the phlegm medicines used here are warm (such as Erchen and other medicines). If the tongue is red, shiny or dry, we should use a large dose of sweet or cold medicines, while bitter cold and dilute drugs should not be considered. This principle applies not only to headaches, but also to other diseases. For example, a stroke is often accompanied by a headache, and we can deal with it in the same way as a stroke. Similarly, vertigo is often accompanied by headaches, and we need to determine which symptoms are dominant. If vertigo is dominant, follow the method of vertigo**; If headache is predominant, follow the headache method**.
As for the pulse, the slippery vein is the most common type, such as slippery, slippery, stringy, fine, etc. There are also some patients with long-term illness and deficiency syndrome, who have a weak pulse. If the patient has been ill for a long time and has a weak pulse and a light tongue coating, we should base it on the false evidence. If the patient has pain on one side of the temple, such as insect bites, combined with the tongue and pulse, we can consider using Gentian Xinggan Tang and Sanhuang Jiedu Tang for addition and subtraction**, and can be appropriately dosed with Yushu Dan. Yushudan has the effects of detoxification, clearing the body and dispelling defilement, and has a significant effect on severe headaches. It should be noted that Yushu Dan contains the ingredient of waist yellow, so we only need to use one of the drugs, and it is not appropriate to use them at the same time. If the patient has a dry stool, we can consider using the method of detoxification**. For patients with more severe disease, we can use rhubarb and yuanming powder; For patients with mild disease, we can choose drugs such as melon kernel and zhimu**.
*The basic prescription for headaches is usually: Root Root, Poria Cocos, Raw Licorice, Hook Vine, Melon Peel, Tangerine, Ginger Banxia, Fried Ox Knee, Hang Ju, Forsythia, Honeysuckle, Cassia Seed, Chen Danxing, Black Mountain Gardenia, Raw Bamboo Ru and Dragon's Tooth. When using these drugs, they should be added or subtracted according to the condition, rather than using all of them. For example, easy-to-use medicines such as spirit magnet, cassia stone, and mother-of-pearl can be added. For headaches, you can also use pig iron fall, which was originally a pig iron drop in the ancient recipe. If the tongue coating is yellow and greasy, you can add Coptis chinensis, and the dosage should be determined according to the degree of yellow lichen. Antelope horns were commonly used in ancient methods, but when I was studying medicine, my teacher also used antelope horns for toothache. Since antelope horns are scarce and expensive, they are not suitable for civilian use, so they are no longer used. Most headache patients have a yellow and greasy tongue coating, but it is rare and rare for the tongue to be red and shiny and dry. In this case, it is advisable to use drugs such as fresh ground, fresh dendrobium, cassia stone, tortoiseshell, smallpox pollen, and wheat winter, or use drugs such as gypsum and yuan ming powder**. **10,000 Fans Incentive Plan
