Treatment of headaches from winds and fumes locked in the head rather than coming from outside

As for headaches arising from thick winds, whether hot or cold, it is first treated by prohibiting the patient from everything that forms vapors and swelling, such as nuts, dates and mustard; They also use the above-mentioned waterings, medicinal dressings and sniffing and nasal remedies described in the general rules; they are allowed to sniff beaver stream and, especially, musk. In such cases, it is also useful to go to the bathhouse on an empty stomach.

If the source of the wind is the stomach, then the treatment uses the already mentioned methods of emptying and, especially, recipes that include castor oil, or, instead, old olive oil. Kammuni and similar medicines are also prescribed from those mentioned in the paragraphs on stomach diseases. After treatment, the head is strengthened with the help of myrtle oil, incense, iris oil, poured cypress juice, tamarisk, sati tubers and everything that has a warming and astringent property. Rubbing the limbs is also used to pull the matter in the opposite direction. And headaches from vapors, if they originate in the head itself and the patient does not feel bloating and rumbling in the stomach, and if the pain does not intensify or decrease depending on the filling or emptiness of the stomach or from eating food that produces a lot or little vapor, is treated with well-known waterings , expel the winds, and strengthen the head with the help of dissolving medicinal dressings with a somewhat astringent property and diluted snuffs. It's enough. If the vapors come from the stomach, then everything that strengthens the stomach is beneficial, for example, mastic and julanjubin, as well as kammuni and the like. If after the patient eats, the food begins to form vapors and causes a headache, then let him take flea plantain mucus or dry coriander with sugar. When they are afraid that plantain mucus will cool the stomach, then use flaxseed mucilage with dry coriander. The head is strengthened with the help of those remedies that we have already taught, having previously relieved and soothed the headache with the appropriate pourings and snuffs described above; Marjoram is especially useful, since this medicine alone is often the cause of complete relief from headaches. They also use distraction of matter in the opposite direction.

If you notice that the vaporous matter is characterized by excess heat - this is recognized by the signs of heat - then carefully avoid absorbent agents with a strong warming property, for example, furbiyun and the like, and begin first of all by diverting the matter in the opposite direction and cleansing the head through rinsing, and then use balancing irrigations in the bathhouse.
