People who suffer frequent headaches, be they tension or migraines, know headaches truly affect the quality of life. There are many prescriptions on the market, as well as over the counter drugs to combat headache pain, and to prevent migraines. Our society is so symptom focused, we overlook the fact that pain, even headache pain is a symptom, rather than the actual problem. Headaches can be caused from everything from temporary eye strain to brain tumors, and of course, most reasons are between those two. Stress is a big factor in what is termed a tension headache and vessel constriction is often found in the diagnoses of migraines. Addressing the cause is key to the actual elimination of the headache, rather than just masking the symptom of headache pain.
I have to be very careful to watch that line that is drawn between suggestions, and practicing medicine without a license, so I'm sharing a link with a recipe and tutorial. I will say this. Headaches were one of the symptoms I experienced with MS and years ago before stepping out of mainstream medicine, all together, I was literally dependent upon the medication to prevent a headache. Now, after over a decade of being completely medication free, including aspirin and Tylenol, using exclusively on herbal remedies for the past twelve years, I actually experience very few headaches, now. Of course, going natural involves more than just using an herb like a prescription, it often involves some changes in lifestyles and habits, as well.
