戴帽子防冬日頭痛
雖說香港快要沒冬天，但間中遇上寒流襲港，一股寒風吹來，也會不其然打個冷顫，然後整天頭赤赤！根據中醫理論，引致頭痛的成因有很多，其中外感風寒頭痛是冬天常見症狀，因為風寒之邪使頭部經脈氣血凝結和阻滯，不通則痛，而寒主收引，所以這種頭痛多出現緊束的感覺。
遇上輕微的外感風寒頭痛，可以沖泡生薑桂枝茶飲用，有發汗解表、暖胃散寒作用，亦可以大拇指按壓額頭上兩眉正中間點的印堂穴，有紓緩頭痛的功效。如果症狀嚴重，宜諮詢註冊中醫師治理。
平日多注意頭部保暖，尤其氣虛、陽虛人士，特別容易受外邪侵襲致病，如果知道當天多外出活動，記得戴帽保暖，帽子款式千變萬化，不妨添置多兩款帽配搭不同造型，最簡單是穿著連帽的外套，例如今晚聖誕佳節，到海邊欣賞燈飾就可戴帽防海風直吹頭部。

生薑桂枝茶
功效：發汗解表、暖胃散寒，紓緩因風寒引起的頭痛、怕冷等症狀。
材料：生薑2片、桂枝12克、白芷6克、紅糖2茶匙
做法：材料洗淨，生薑去皮切片，用刀背拍打一下，與桂枝及紅茶葉放入保溫瓶，加入熱開水泡10分鐘，最後加入紅糖調味即可。此茶可反覆沖泡至味淡，連續喝兩天為一個療程。

Wear a hat to prevent headaches in winter
Even though it may seem like Hong Kong does not have a true winter anymore, there are still cold currents occasionally. You may experience headaches for the whole day when the cold wind hits. From Chinese medicine perspective, there are many causes of headaches. The cold-wind headache is the most common symptom in winter as the cold-wind pathogen causes coagulation and blockage of qi and blood of head meridians. Cold will cause shrinkage so you would feel tightness when you have this type of headache.
In case of mild cold-wind headache, you can have ginger tea with cinnamon twig. It has the effects of warming the stomach and dispelling cold. You can also press the yintang acupoint with your thumb, which is located midway between the medial ends of the eyebrows to relieve headache. If the symptoms are serious, you should consult a registered Chinese medicine practitioner.
Pay more attention to keep the head warm, especially those with qi and yang deficiency. They are particularly vulnerable to external pathogens. If you will have more outdoor activities on some day, remember to wear a hat to keep warm. There are various styles of hats to be more fashionable. It is simple to wear a hooded jacket. For example, when you go to the seaside to see christmas lights tonight, you can wear a hat to prevent the wind from blowing directly on your head.
