[Commentary by Xue Ji] Li Dongyuan stated: For Taiyang channel headache (headache of the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Channel), with a floating and tight pulse, aversion to wind and cold, Chuanxiong Rhizome (Chuanxiong Radix), Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix (Qianghuo), Angelicae Pubescentis Radix (Duhuo), and Ephedrae Herba (Mahuang) are the main herbs. For Shaoyang channel headache (headache of the Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao Channel), with a string-taut and fine pulse, alternating chills and fever, Bupleuri Radix (Chaihu) is the main herb. For Yangming channel headache (headache of the Foot-Yangming Stomach Channel), with body heat, eye pain, nasal dryness, aversion to cold and fever, and a floating, moderate, and long pulse, Shengma Tang (Cimicifugae Decoction, composed of Cimicifugae Rhizoma [Shengma] and Puerariae Radix [Gegen]), or Gypsum Fibrosum (Shigao) and Angelicae Dahuricae Radix (Baizhi) are the main herbs. For Taiyang channel headache (headache of the Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Channel), accompanied by phlegm, heavy body, or abdominal pain, constituting Phlegm-Pi syndrome (accumulation of phlegm and qi), with a deep and moderate pulse, Atractylodis Rhizoma (Cangzhu), Pinelliae Tuber (Banxia), and Pinelliae Ternatae Rhizoma (Tianxing) are the main herbs. For Shaoyin channel headache (headache of the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Channel), with cold feet and rebellious qi, constituting Cold-Jue syndrome (cold extremities due to yang deficiency), with a deep and fine pulse, Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Tang (Ephedra, Prepared Aconite Root, and Asarum Decoction, from the Taiyang chapter of Shanghan Lun) is the main formula. For Jueyin channel headache (headache of the Foot-Jueyin Liver Channel), presenting with head and nape pain, vomiting of saliva/foam, cold limbs, and a floating and moderate pulse, Wuzhuyu Tang (Evodia Fruit Decoction, from the Vomiting/Dysentery chapter of Shanghan Lun) is indicated. For all blood-deficiency headaches, Danggui Radix (Danggui) and Chuanxiong Rhizome (Chuanxiong) are the main herbs. For all qi-deficiency headaches, Ginseng Radix (Renshen) and Astragali Radix (Huangqi) are the main herbs. For combined qi- and blood-deficiency headaches, Zhongyi Yiqi Tang (Middle-Jiao Qi-Nourishing Decoction, from miscellaneous diseases of fatigue/labor) is used, with small additions of Chuanxiong Rhizome (Chuanxiong), Viticis Fructus (Manjing), and Asari Radix et Rhizoma (Xixin). For Phlegm-Jue headache, Banxia Baizhu Tianma Tang (Pinellia, Atractylodes Macrocephala, and Gastrodia Decoction, from miscellaneous dizziness syndromes) is used. For Jue-ni headache, Qianghuo Fuzi Tang (Notopterygium and Prepared Aconite Root Decoction, from miscellaneous headache syndromes) is used. If dampness resides in the head, bitter herbs should be used to induce vomiting; one must not rigidly adhere to a fixed formula. If the pulse is chaotic and symptoms are inconsistent, tonifying the Stomach should be the primary approach. One woman suffered from tinnitus, headache, and fatigue due to overwork; she was cured using Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) with Ophiopogonis Tuber (Maidong) and Schisandrae Fructus (Wuweizi). Three years later, after childbirth, due to dietary irregularity and overwork, her previous symptoms worsened, accompanied by irregular menstruation, afternoon tidal fever, internal heat, spontaneous sweating, and night sweats; she was rapidly cured using Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia) and Buzhong Yiqi Tang. The Classics state: "Headache and tinnitus, with dysfunction of the nine orifices, arise from the intestines and stomach." Therefore, when the Spleen and Stomach are deficient, the ears, eyes, and nine orifices all suffer pathology. Another woman had pain in the supraorbital ridges spreading to the temporal region, with a greenish complexion and irritability; this was a Liver-channel Wind-Heat syndrome, cured using Xuanqi Tang (Select Extraordinary Decoction, from miscellaneous headache syndromes) combined with Xiaoyao San (Free and Easy Wanderer Powder, for regulating menstruation), plus Gardeniae Fructus (Zhizi), Gastrodiae Rhizoma (Tianma), Astragali Radix (Huangqi), Pinelliae Tuber (Banxia), and Scutellariae Radix (Huangqin). If this syndrome is neglected, it often leads to eye damage or purulent discharge from both ears, which is critical.
Xuanfu Hua Tang (Inula Flower Decoction): Xu Shuwei stated: Among women suffering from Toufeng (Wind-Feng/headache disorder), half experience it; each attack involves dizziness and vertigo, as if on a cart or boat. This is due to blood deficiency and Wind pathogen invading the Liver. I once prescribed Xuanfu Hua Tang; prepared and taken according to this formula, it is far more effective than other medicines.
Chuanxiong Rhizome (Chuanxiong), Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Danggui, remove rhizome), Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix (Qianghuo, remove rhizome), Inulae Flos (Xuanfu), Asari Radix et Rhizoma (Xixin, remove seedlings), Viticis Fructus (Manjing), Saposhnikoviae Radix (Fangfeng, remove rhizome), Gypsum Fibrosum (Shigao), Ligustici Rhizoma et Radix (Ben, remove rhizome), Schizonepetae Spica (Jingjie), Fermented Pinelliae Tuber (Banqu), Dry Rehmanniae Radix (Dihuang), Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao, honey-fried, each half liang).

(Chen once treated Lady Deng with headache as if breaking, unresponsive to other drugs; he added equal parts Northern Asari Radix et Rhizoma (Beixixin) and half dose of Scorpio (Quanxie) in the pill. After taking twenty pills, she was immediately cured.)
Old Man Yaoyin said: If headache extends to the teeth, occurring intermittently without cessation for years, this is due to Wind-Cold penetrating the bone marrow and lingering there. The brain is the sea of marrow, so headache causes tooth pain, termed Jue-ni headache. Use Baofuzi San (White Typhonium Powder) and moxa the Qubin acupoint. This point is above the ear; cover the ear forward to the tip, moxa seven moxibustion units (zhuang); left pain moxa left, right pain moxa right.

If headache is accompanied by tendon spasms, heavy bones, shortness of breath, hiccups/belching, abdominal fullness, frequent fright, reluctance to lie down, cough, and vexation, with a pulse that is string-taut on light pressure and stone-hard on deep pressure, this is due to Kidney Qi deficiency with internal stagnation, and rebellious Qi moving upward, termed Kidney-Jue headache. Use Yuzhen Wan and Liuhuang Wan.
Yuzhen Wan
Sulfur (Liuhuang, ground, three liang), Natrii Sulfas (Xiaoshi, two fen, ground), Gypsum Fibrosum (Shigao, ground), Pinelliae Tuber (Banxia, washed in boiling water, ground, each one liang).

Lie supine and instill into the nostril: left pain into left nostril, right pain into right nostril, or both. Those suffering for decades were cured with a single instillation.
