What medicine is good for women with migraine

Being sick is a troublesome thing. Not only will the body cause various discomforts, but it will also force oneself to delay work and study. As people age, the probability of getting sick increases and the frequency of illness increases.

Migraine is a regular disease that plagues many middle-aged and elderly people, and is particularly common among women. So how do you treat migraines? Next, let me take a closer look at it.

1. Introduction to Migraine

Multiple-incidence group: Women account for more than 2/3, and the incidence rates before the age of 10, 20, and 40 are 25%, 55%, and 90% respectively.

The main symptoms are hemicranostatic headache, accompanied by nausea, vomiting and photophobia, which recurs after a period of remission. The headache is relieved in a quiet, dark environment or after sleep. Neurological and mental problems may occur before or during the onset of a headache.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment for migraine

1. Chinese medicine prescription

The Chinese medicine prescription should be selected according to the characteristics of the patient's headache under the guidance of a doctor:

For recurrent headaches caused by liver heat, you can use Aconitum Yangjiao Granules; for migraine caused by hyperactivity of liver yang and wind-heat disturbing the head, you can take Gastrodia elata Uncaria granules; for severe headaches and restlessness, you can take Annao Pills, 1 pill each time, twice a day; for hyperactivity of liver yang and blood stasis blocking the collaterals, you can choose Zhennaoning, Zhengtian Pills or Yangxueqingnao Granules for treatment.

On this basis, some Chinese herbal prescriptions with other effects should be dialectically adopted:

Female patients often suffer from migraine before menstruation, and can take Jiawei Xiaoyao Pills or Xiaoyao Granules together; those who have cold hands and feet when having a headache, or are usually afraid of cold and have cold hands and feet, can take Liuwei Dihuang Pills; those who often have dry throat and dry mouth, and hot hands and feet can take Liuwei Dihuang Pills; when a migraine is caused by a cold, it can be treated with Xiongju Shangqing Pills or Qianghuo Cha Tiao Granules.

2. Oral decoction

The oral decoction based on syndrome differentiation and treatment in traditional Chinese medicine is the most common and effective method in clinical medicine. Although oral decoctions are inconvenient, doctors can identify heat, cold, excess and deficiency according to the patient's detailed condition, and issue highly targeted Chinese medicine prescriptions with specialized diagnosis and treatment, which is also the advantage of traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, patients with recurrent migraine can choose Chinese herbal decoctions for treatment. Many patients come to see a doctor when a headache occurs, but stop treatment after the headache is relieved. They fail to persist in taking medicine, which usually fails to achieve the desired effect and the headache may come again.

3. Acupuncture and moxibustion therapy

Acupuncture treatment for migraine has the characteristics of fast effect and simple operation. Using acupuncture therapy during the migraine remission period can increase the duration of the attack cycle, reduce the frequency of attacks, and relieve pain levels when an attack occurs. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with standard migraine can choose acupuncture therapy.

When a migraine occurs, massage can reduce or relieve the pain, and the method is simple and easy. For example, you can use the "three-point" method. The "three points" refer to the Shenting point, Touwei point, and temple point. In addition, you can also ask a massage or massage professional to carry out a more systematic technical treatment, which has a certain effect on reducing the frequency of disease occurrence.

3. How to prevent migraine

1. In life

1. Pay attention to your life routine, avoid overwork, excessive work pressure, and sub-health.

2. Find out the factors that cause and relieve headaches and avoid them as much as possible.

2. Diet

Avoid foods that cause migraines:

1. Alcoholic beverages: especially red wine, pure grain wine, lemonade, citrus, ice cream, etc.

2. Foods containing high tyramine, such as freshly ground coffee, chocolate, and dairy products.

3. Animal fat, which causes migraines, accounts for 49.8% of all food ingredients. Strict control can prevent the onset of migraines.

4. Beef and mutton sausages, pickled meat foods, light soy sauce, etc.

3. Psychological state

Once a migraine occurs, don't worry. The more upset you are, the more obvious the headache feeling will be, the clearer your memory will be, and the more depressed your mood will be after the onset of the disease. A bad mood is also a factor that causes the next migraine. Therefore, it is very important to adjust your mental state!
