Headaches caused by the upward congestion of damp-heat are quite common, yet there are also those caused by cold-dampness. The *Jin Gui Yao Lue* (Essential Prescriptions from the Golden Cabinet) states: "Headache, nasal congestion, and irritability with a large pulse; if digestion is normal and the abdomen is harmonious without disease, the pathology lies in cold-dampness within the head, causing nasal congestion. Inserting medicine into the nose will cure it." I believe that Tou Ding San (Penetrating Top Powder) from the *Ben Shi Fang* (Prescriptions from the Capable Physician) is precisely the formula for treating cold-dampness headache. Otherwise, using Ding Xiang (Caryophylli Flos, Clove) and Xi Xin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma, Asarum) to treat damp-heat headache would be akin to saving fire with fire.
Tan Jue Tou Tong (Phlegm-Jue Headache) originates from the Spleen affecting the Stomach. The Spleen is responsible for transporting and transforming fluids for the Stomach. When the Spleen is diseased, the fluids in the Stomach cannot circulate freely, accumulating to form Phlegm (Tan). This phlegm ascends along the Yangming Meridian to attack the head, causing pain. The symptoms include a heavy and stuffy sensation in the head, continuous dizziness, and nausea with an urge to vomit. Ban Xia Bai Zhu Tian Ma Tang (Pinellia, Atractylodes Macrocephala, and Gastrodia Decoction) treats Taiyin Phlegm-Jue Headache, characterized by blurred vision, vertigo, nausea, irritability, cold limbs, and heaviness of the body.
Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma, Pinellia Tuber), Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, Tangerine Peel [scraped]), Mai Ya (Hordei Fructus Germinatus, Sprouted Barley) (each 7.5 qian), Shen Qu (Massa Medicata Fermentata, Medicated Leaven), Bai Zhu (Atractodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome) (5 qian, stir-fried), Huang Qi (Astragali Radix, Astragalus Root) (roasted), Cang Zhu (Atractodis Rhizoma, Atractylodes Rhizome) (soaked in rice wash water), Tian Ma (Gastrodiae Rhizoma, Gastrodia Rhizome), Fu Ling (Poria, Poria Cocos), Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix, Ginseng Root), Ze Xie (Alismatis Rhizoma, Alisma Rhizome) (each 5.5 qian), Huang Bo (Phellodendri Cortex, Phellodendron Bark) (2 fen, wine-washed), Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, Dried Ginger) (3 fen).
Take slightly warm, before meals. Another variation adds one slice of Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, Fresh Ginger).
The *Wai Tai Mi Yao* (Important Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) states: "Headache that is neither due to cold nor wind indicates phlegm in the diaphragm. Drink one or two sheng of strongly brewed tea to induce vomiting. Continue until bitter fluid is expelled, then stop. This does not harm the person; waiting for thirst to subside naturally yields excellent results."
Cha Tiao San (Tea-Powdering Powder, by Zhang Zihe)
Gua Di (Melonis Fructus, Melon Seed) and Hao Cha (Good Tea) in equal parts, powdered. Take 2 qian each time, mixed with vinegar juice, taken on an empty stomach to induce vomiting.
Ban Xia Fu Ling Tang (Pinellia and Poria Decoction) treats headache with retching caused by hot-phlegm.
Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma, Pinellia Tuber) (2 qian), Chi Ling (Poria cum Pino, Poria with Pine Wood) (1 qian), Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, Tangerine Peel [scraped]), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Licorice Root) (each 5 fen), Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix, Scutellaria Root) (5 fen), Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, Fresh Ginger) (3 slices). Decoct as one dose.
If headache extends to eye pain, this is Wind-Phlegm attacking upwards. Use Yu Qian Cha (Pre-Rain Tea), Chuan Xiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma, Chuanxiong Rhizome), Bai Zhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, Dahurian Angelica Root), Fang Feng (Saposhnikoviae Radix, Saposhnikovia Root), Tian Tai Wu Yao (Illicii Tenuifolii Fructus, Small-fruited Star Anise Fruit), Xi Xin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma, Asarum), and Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, Chinese Angelica Root) powdered, taken with decocted liquid.
Fang Feng Yin Zi (Saposhnikovia Decoction) treats Wind-Phlegm Qi stagnation, manifesting as vertigo and vomiting with inability to eat upon onset.
Fang Feng (Saposhnikoviae Radix, Saposhnikovia Root), Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix, Ginseng Root), Ju Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, Tangerine Peel) (each 2 liang), Bai Zhu (Atractodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome), Fu Ling (Poria, Poria Cocos) (each 3 liang), Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, Fresh Ginger) (4 liang).
Chop finely, boil in 6 sheng of water to obtain 3 sheng, strain, and divide into four warm doses to be consumed within one day. Avoid vinegar, peaches, plums, sparrow meat, garlic, and wheat products.
The *Zhi Zhi Fang* (Directing the Source Prescriptions) states: Er Chen Tang (Two-Cured Decoction) plus Jing Jie (Schizonepetae Spica, Schizonepeta Spike) treats Tou Feng (Head Wind), and also addresses Phlegm congestion and Wine congestion. It further states: In Tou Feng syndrome where pain occurs at the brow ridge and ear angle, Wind-dispersing medicines are ineffective, whereas Phlegm-resolving medicines succeed. If eyes are red, swollen, photophobic, and painful, Cooling formulas fail, but Phlegm-resolving formulas bring recovery.
Yu Hu Wan (Jade Pot Pill) treats Wind-Phlegm causing retching, headache with vertigo, chest and diaphragm fullness and irritability, inability to eat, excessive coughing with phlegm, and vomiting of saliva/foam.
Nan Xing (Arisaematis Cum Bile, Arisaema with Bile) (raw, 1 liang), Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma, Pinellia Tuber) (raw, 1 liang), Tian Ma (Gastrodiae Rhizoma, Gastrodia Rhizome) (0.5 liang), Tou Bai Mian (White Wheat Flour) (3 liang).
Grind into fine powder, add water drop by drop to form pills the size of wutong seeds. Take 30 pills per dose. Use one large cup of water, boil first, add pills, boil for five to seven turns. When pills float, they are cooked. Strain out, let cool to warm, and take with another Ginger Decoction, regardless of timing. Another variation includes Bai Zhu (Atractodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome) 5 qian and Xiong Huang (Realgar, Realgar) water-triturated 3.5 qian.
Li Dongyuan suffered from headache in his prime. Upon each onset, both cheeks turned completely yellow, accompanied by vertigo, reluctance to open eyes, lethargy in speech, heaviness of the body, and nausea with an urge to vomit, subsiding only after several days. Ji Gu Lao Ren (Elder Ji Gu, i.e., Liu Wansu) said: "This is a combined disease of the Jueyin and Taiyin meridians, named Wind-Phlegm." Treat with Yu Hu Wan (Jade Pot Pill) from the *Ju Fang* (Formulary of the Bureau), adding Xiong Huang (Realgar, Realgar) and Bai Zhu (Atractodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome).
Xiong Xin Dao Tan Tang (Ligusticum and Asarum Guiding-Phlegm Decoction) treats Phlegm-Jue Headache.
Chuan Xiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma, Chuanxiong Rhizome), Xi Xin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma, Asarum), Nan Xing (Arisaematis Cum Bile, Arisaema with Bile), Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, Tangerine Peel [scraped]), Fu Ling (Poria, Poria Cocos) (each 1.5 qian), Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma, Pinellia Tuber) (2 qian), Zhi Shi (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus, Immature Bitter Orange), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Licorice Root) (each 1 qian).
Prepare as one dose, boil in two zhong of water with seven slices of ginger until reduced to one zhong. Take after meals.
This formula is Dao Tan Tang (Guiding-Phlegm Decoction) plus Chuan Xiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma, Chuanxiong Rhizome) and Xi Xin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma, Asarum) as guiding herbs to direct the action upwards. The prescription is remarkably concise.
