A new year, a fresh start.
A good start is half the battle, and a healthy body is greatly influenced by one's mood. The "Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine" states that "all illnesses are born from qi," where qi refers to emotions and mood. Some people experience diarrhea due to nervousness before exams, while others' blood pressure spikes when seeing a doctor. A more common urban ailment is headaches caused by stress.
Chronic stress and mental tension not only lead to irritability and a quick temper, but also cause liver qi stagnation, and qi and blood stasis. The liver is responsible for regulating and circulating qi and blood to ensure proper and smooth bodily functions. Simply put, when liver function is impaired, insufficient qi can lead to poor blood circulation, which hinders the body's operation and prevents qi and blood from flowing properly, thus potentially leading to headaches.
First, rule out headaches caused by diseases such as tumors or cervical spine displacement. For headaches caused by liver qi stagnation, you can try using five grams of gastrodia elata (sliced) and five grams of gambir vine. After washing them clean, put them in a thermos with hot water and steep for 15 minutes. This tea can quell wind, calm the liver, lower blood pressure, and relieve headaches.
Gastrodia elata is sweet in taste, neutral in nature, and enters the liver meridian. It can calm the liver and quell wind, and is often used for wind-headache, headache, dizziness, and numbness in the limbs. Gambir vine is sweet in taste, cool in nature, and enters the liver and heart meridians. It can clear heat and calm the liver, quell wind, and calm fright. It is mainly used for headaches, dizziness, colds, and high blood pressure.
In addition, lifestyle habits are also very important. Try not to wash your hair immediately after waking up in the morning, as your body is just starting to function and your yang qi is weaker at this time, making you most susceptible to cold and wind. Even if you do wash your hair, dry it promptly with warm air. Also, pay attention to your posture when using your phone to avoid excessive strain on your shoulders and neck, which can lead to headaches.
