Pain felt in the eyebrow bone. It is mostly attributable to external contraction of wind-heat and phlegm damp lying depressed in the inner body. It is often seen together with yáng brightness (yáng míng) headache and lesser yáng (shào yáng) headache.

Medicinal therapy: Dispel wind, clear fire, and flush phlegm.

Alternatively, use variations of Phlegm-Abducting Decoction (导痰汤 dǎo tán tāng).
