Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

治沐浴後眩暈頭痛, 或頭風眩痛, 服之令人目明. 凡暴寒乍煖, 神思不淸, 頭目昏暈, 幷宜服之. 新白芷不拘多少剉, 以蘿葍汁浸曬乾爲末, 蜜丸彈子大, 每一丸細嚼, 以茶淸或荊芥湯下. 《本事》

Translation

Treats dizziness and headache after washing the hair, or head wind with dizzy pain; taken, it brightens the eyes. Where a sudden cold turns suddenly warm and the mind is unclear and the head and eyes clouded and dizzy, it is likewise to be taken. Fresh angelica dahurica, any amount, cut up and steeped in radish juice and dried in the sun, powdered and made into honey pills the size of a bullet; chew one fine and wash down with clear tea or schizonepeta decoction. — Bonsa 本事 (Donguibogam · Du)

Clinical commentary 臨床

暴寒乍煖 — a sudden cold turning suddenly warm. A headache that comes with a change in the weather, which 1.30's head wind also describes, and it is one of the better-attested triggers of migraine. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
