Herbs

• Sang Ji Sheng Ramulus Loranthi nourishes Liver-Blood.


• Shou Wu Radix Polygoni multiflori nourishes Blood and is particularly indicated in
  chronic cases of Blood deficiency with manifestations of dryness (e.g. dry skin, dry hair
  and dry eyes).


• Gou Qi Zi Fructus Lycii chinensis nourishes Blood and benefits the eyes. It is therefore
  particularly indicated if the headaches occur behind the eyes.


• Long Yang Rou Arillus Euphoriae longanae nourishes Blood and promotes sleep. It is
  therefore indicated if the Blood deficiency causes insomnia.


• Chuan Xiong Radix Ligustici wallichii. This is of course already included in the above
  two prescriptions, but its dosage could be increased since it is an important and specific
  herb for headaches.
