疲累頭痛要補氣血
工時長加上生活壓力大、多思慮、做事上心處事完美主義？身心本已疲累不堪，再加上惱人的頭痛時而發作，人越疲累頭痛就越厲害，可謂是雙重打擊。如果頭部不時隱隱作痛，伴隨頭暈眼花、勞累、嗜睡、臉色蒼白、手腳冰冷、肌膚乾燥、舌邊有齒印等症狀，就屬於氣虛血虛型頭痛，氣血不足，心脾血虛，身體各臟腑得不到足夠的氣血、水液及營養濡養，氣血送不到上頭部就形成頭痛。
氣血虛弱體質常見忙碌白領一族、運動過度、久病體虛、產後及手術後人士，宜補氣養血，適量進食補氣血食物如黨參、北芪、紅棗、紅豆、桂圓肉等。多休息，充足睡眠可補足陰血，而且要避免操勞及進行劇烈運動，因為過量運動及流汗均會傷血。
北芪黨參桂圓茶
功效：益氣養血，紓緩因氣血虛弱問題而出現的頭痛、頭暈、面色偏白等症狀。
材料：北芪9克、黨參9克、桂圓肉12克

Nourish qi and blood to relieve fatigue and headache
Do you have long working hours, stressful life? Are you excessive thinking and a perfectionist? Your body and mind are tired enough to start and a nagging headache can be quite irritating. The more tired you are, the more severe the headache can be. If the headache occurs from time to time and accompanied with dizziness, fatigue, lethargic, pale complexion, cold limbs, dry skin, and teeth marks on the tongue, it is likely related to asthenic qi and blood. Insufficient qi and blood can lead to poor circulation of qi and blood to all the organs. There is also lack of fluids and nutrients. The lack of qi and blood towards the head leads to headaches. Asthenic qi and blood are common amongst white collar workers, those who overly exercise, those recovering from chronic illness, post delivery mothers and those who are recovering from surgery. They should nourish qi and blood, and appropriately consume ingredients that can nourish qi and blood such as codonopsis root, astragalus root, Chinese red date, red bean, longan and so on. Rest more and get enough sleep can nourish yin blood, and avoid heavy work and high intensity exercise, as excessive exercise and sweating can hurt blood.
