Description:

"Headache Pill" - the name itself tells us what this formula solves. Let's now tell you what headaches it is suitable for. The Pian Tou Tong Pian mixture is a variation of the famous Chuan Xiong Cha Tiao San (Powder mixed from dill and tea) from the 11th century, used for cold wind attacks with significant head, neck and shoulder pain, stuffy nose, chills and fever.

In the recipe, the imperial herb is the Wallich's nettle, which both 'guides' the action of the mixture to the head and can 'move' the blood, thus relieving pain, especially in the temples, temples, jaw and teeth. Dahurian angelica, on the other hand, relaxes the forehead and notopterigium the occiput in a similar way to the Chinese dill. In our modification we have removed the hoofwort from the mixture, which is hot and very dynamic, so the mixture is not so warm, and instead we have added the drumstick, which is cool and releases hot wind from the head and eye area, perfectly treating the facial part of the head and soothing the so-called neurogenic pains. The other herb added, Chinese angelica, is great for those. After modifications, Pian Tou Tong Pian is therefore suitable for both cold wind and hot wind attacks (viruses, allergies, etc.), and because it contains herbs acting in all areas of the head - it soothes pain in all localisations. So these are "acute" conditions from external infestation. This is when the mixture is given in short-term high doses. In addition, it is also excellent for chronic pain, for example, the aforementioned pain from 'irritation' of the nerves, such as the extremely unpleasant neuralgia of the trigeminal and trigeminal nerves, but also for paresthesias (tingling and other unpleasant sensations) and paralyses in this area. In this case, long-term administration of the mixture is necessary, over a period of weeks or months, in 'standard' doses. It can very well be used for headaches during weather changes, which occur as a reaction to humidity or wind even without direct exposure to them (the head hurts without going outside...).

The mixture is not intended for headaches of insufficiency (symptoms of Qi, Blood or Kidney deficiency are present) or for rising Liver Yang (typical migraines accompanied by a feeling to vomit, lightheadedness, reacting to stress, in women often related to the cycle).

-headache from external wind attack - from blowing in all locations

Notes:

When attacked by cold wind, we can use the mixture in the traditional way, i.e. with hot green or black tea to help trigger sweating. It is said that the best way to drink the tea mixture in this case is to take a hot bath, after which you should lie down immediately, cover yourself properly, and sweat and sweat and sweat...
