In this season, headaches are often caused by a lack of warmth, leading to the invasion of wind and cold pathogens into the human body.
There may be a feeling of tightness in the head or stiffness in the neck, which can be alleviated by warmth.
This wind evil really exists everywhere.
The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon records: "The wind is the beginning of all diseases
Among all the six external evils of wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, and fire, wind evil is the carrier and can mix with cold evil, dampness evil, etc. to attack the human body.
In traditional Chinese medicine, 'those who are injured by the wind are the first to receive it', and the invasion of wind pathogens is an important factor leading to headaches.
Traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations Chuanxiong Chatiao Granule is specially designed for wind evil headache.
Headaches cannot be separated from Chuanxiong ", which mainly uses warm and cold dispelling, blood activating and analgesic Chuanxiong in the formula.
Peppermint and Jingjie Xin San can be used to relieve wind and pain, as well as clear and benefit the head. Peppermint can also regulate the temperature and dryness of wind medicine, and prevent wind and pathogenic factors from easily turning heat and dryness, making it a common medicinal herb.

The whole formula combines numerous Xin San and Shu Feng medicines into one, with a combination of ascending and dispersing herbs that balance clearing and descending, reflecting the compatibility characteristics of dispelling wind and relieving pain without warming and drying.
In the history of traditional Chinese medicine, there are not many formulas called "Cha Tiao", and Chuanxiong Cha Tiao San is one of the most well-known ancient tea formula preparations.
Chuanxiong Tea Tiao San was first mentioned in the Song Dynasty's "Taiping Huimin He Zhi Ju Fang". The Song Dynasty can be considered a dynasty with frequent wars and conflicts in Chinese history.
At that time, drugs were still in short supply, so people preferred to take them by boiling and dispersing them. It is to grind the medicine into coarse powder and then boil it in water, which saves more medicinal materials.

1. Cold headache wind pathogen for patients
2. Long term migraine, aggravated by exposure to cold
3. Neurogenic headache with dizziness in the head

A few days ago, I accidentally felt a cold wind and had a headache that felt like wearing a tight spell. I took a bag of Chuanxiong tea mixed with granules, and as soon as the tea was poured down, it was fragrant and seemed to have a penetrating power, refreshing the heart and spleen, making me feel refreshed.
After sleeping for a while, the headache disappeared the next day.
