It is precisely because of this situation that what people do is also constantly improving, but these things are also relatively beneficial, and what to do about migraine is one of them.

As for what to do with this kind of migraine, it is actually quite common in our lives, so people don’t need to worry too much about it. Below is some information about what to do with this kind of migraine.

Traditional Chinese medicine generally treats migraine based on the syndrome differentiation and treatment of liver wind, phlegm turbidity, blood stasis, etc. For example, if the liver yang is hyperactive and the head is affected by wind and fire, it is often manifested as sudden headache, throbbing pain or distending pain, severe pain, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, dry mouth and bitter taste, etc., antelope horn soup can be used as the basic prescription for treatment, and the medicines used include antelope horn powder, Uncaria rhynchophylla, etc. For those who have cold hands and feet when they have a headache, which worsens when they are cold, and who also have nausea and vomiting and a pale tongue, it is generally a syndrome of deficiency and cold and can be treated with Evodia rutaecarpa decoction. Different syndromes require different prescriptions and medicines for treatment. Generally, hot medicines are used for cold syndromes, and cold medicines are used for hot syndromes.

It should be emphasized that Chinese patent medicine should be selected under the guidance of a doctor according to the characteristics of the patient's headache. For recurrent headaches caused by liver wind, you can use Compound Sheep Horn Granules; for migraine caused by hyperactivity of liver yang and wind-fire disturbing the head, you can take Tianma Uncaria Granules; for severe headaches and restlessness, you can take Annao Pills, 1 pill each time, twice a day; for those with hyperactivity of liver yang and blood stasis blocking the collaterals, you can choose Zhennaoning, Zhengtian Pills or Yangxueqingnao Granules for treatment.

On this basis, we can also select some Chinese patent medicines with other effects according to the patient's clinical characteristics. If female patients often suffer from migraine before menstruation, they can take Jiawei Xiaoyao Pills or Xiaoyao Granules; if the hands and feet are cold when having a headache, or if they are afraid of cold and have cold hands and feet, they can take Jinkui Shenqi Pills; those who often have dry throat and thirst, and hot hands and feet can take Zhibai Dihuang Pills; when a migraine attack is induced by a cold, they can be treated with Xiongju Shangqing Pills or Chuanxiong Cha Tiao Granules.

Acupuncture treatment for migraine has the characteristics of rapid effect and simple operation. Acupuncture treatment during the remission period of migraine attacks can prolong the attack cycle, reduce the frequency of attacks, and reduce the severity of pain during an attack. Therefore, it is recommended that migraine patients who have the conditions can choose acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture treatment requires a high degree of professionalism, and patients should go to regular hospitals for diagnosis and treatment. They should not go to quack doctors or small clinics with poor conditions for treatment.

When a migraine attacks, massage can relieve or reduce the pain, and the method is simple and easy. For example, you can use the three-point push method. The three points refer to the Shenting point, Touwei point, and temple (the Shenting point is about half an inch directly above the center of the hairline; the Touwei point is about half an inch above the corner of the hairline on the forehead, and this point is the one that causes some pain when pressing around it; the temple is between the eyebrow and the outer corner of the eye, and is concave one inch back). Specific operation method: first push Shenting, use both thumbs alternately, from the tip of the hair through the Shenting point, 1 inch into the hairline, push hard 10 times; then push the temple, press the temple with both thumbs, push hard to the tip of the ear, push 10 times; finally push the Touwei point, use both thumbs to push the Touwei point 10 times.

Patients can place the 10 fingertips of both hands on the most painful part of the head, and comb and rub it quickly like a rubber comb, combing and rubbing about 100 times back and forth each time, and do it once a day in the morning, noon, and before dinner. Hot Water Soak When a migraine strikes, take a basin of hot water. Soak your hands in water. The water temperature should be tolerable for human hands. Soak for about 30 minutes and the headache will gradually ease.

For washing feet with Chinese medicine, take 15 grams each of Chuanxiong, Achyranthes bidentata, and Chrysanthemum, 10 grams each of Angelica dahurica and Atractylodes macrocephala, 3 grams of Asarum, and 5 grams of Gypsum. Decoct them into a decoction and use it to wash your feet for 20 minutes each time, 2 to 3 times a day. Drink strong mint tea. Take 15 grams of dried mint leaves (double for fresh ones), add them into a teapot, brew with boiling water for 5 minutes and take it once in the morning and evening; or soak fresh mint leaves in warm water for 15 minutes, apply the leaves to the temples or where you have a headache, eat wolfberry leaf eggs several times a day. Use 7 to 9 fresh wolfberry leaves each time, wash and chop them, beat in 1 egg and stir well, add 1 tablespoon of peanut oil into the pot, stir-fry for breakfast every day, and use it for 1 month.
