I get a splitting headache every time I have my period.

This is a "menstrual migraine" caused by a rapid drop in hormones (estrogen). In Traditional Korean Medicine, it is viewed as "blood deficiency" (lack of blood) or "blood stasis." Similar to treating menstrual cramps, improving blood flow to the uterus and replenishing deficient blood will also make the headaches disappear.

급격한 호르몬 변화가 뇌혈관을 자극하여 두통을 유발합니다.

  • 시기: 생리 시작 2일 전부터 3일째까지 증상이 가장 심하게 나타납니다.
  • 치료: 사물탕 계열의 보혈 한약은 생리통과 두통을 동시에 완화하는 데 효과적입니다.
  • 마그네슘: 평소 견과류, 바나나 등 마그네슘이 풍부한 음식을 섭취하시면 예방에 도움이 됩니다.
💡 예방적 복용

생리 예정일 며칠 전부터 한약이나 진통제를 미리 복용하여 통증 유발 호르몬 생성을 차단하는 방법도 있습니다.
