Description
Subdue Head Wind is one of the few Chinese herbal formulas designed to treat a variety of acute headaches occurring in all areas of the head. It is primarily used as a " branch," or symptomatic, treatment for acute headaches, but can easily be blended with " root," or constitutional formulas in treatment protocols for even greater efficacy. Its strength lies in the chief herb, Sichuan lovage rhizome (Chuan xiong), and a blend of ingredients that address headache pain in specific regions of the head. (Kan Herb Company)
