Natural cures for headaches can be very helpful for this debilitating problem. Find out what causes them and how to prevent or cure them by using natural headache cures.

I used to suffer them almost every day. Then I met this herbal lady who told me…

"This problem is your body’s way of telling you something is wrong. Find the root cause and correct it".

So I did some research and found out they are most often caused by stress, tiredness, environmental factors, poor posture, caffeine, alcohol, drugs, food allergy, eyestrain, sinusitis, or low blood sugar.

Here are some effective herbs for headaches to ease your pain while you work on fixing what started it in the first place:

Herbs

• GINGER: A good treatment for those migrains that make you sick to your stomach. Eat a small piece of fresh ginger root, make ginger root tea, or try powdered ginger in capsules. Ginger is a warming, stimulating herb especially good for circulation.
• Products combining various herbs for headaches: Great for sinus pains and allergies. Use products that combine a combination of herbs: Boneset aerial parts, fennel seeds, fenugreek seeds horseradish root extract, and mullein root extract. Nourishes the immune and respiratory systems.

Make a sandwich...

Researchers are studying the benefits of the herb feverfew for treating chronic aches and migraines. The leaves of this plant contain a substance that relaxes the blood vessels in your brain.

Studies show that patients who eat a few fresh feverfew leaves (can put on a sandwich) or take feverfew capsules everyday have fewer and less severe migraines.(Chewing the leaf can cause mouth ulcers in some people, if this occurs, use the capsules).

Aromatherapy

*Note: Most essential oils should not be used during pregnancy...Please read labels before using.

• LAVENDER OIL: A great natural headache cure is to massage a few drops of neat(can be applied undiluted to the skin) oil into your temples and the base of your neck or even at the base of your nostrils for almost instant relief. (Very gentle essential oil…but some hay fever or asthma suffers may be allergic)
• PEPPERMINT OIL: One of my favorite treatments. A painkiller beneficial for this problem as well as some migraines. Put a drop or two into a bowl of hot water and inhale the steam under a towel, then lie down with a warm compress soaked in sweet marjoram oil on your forehead (Add 4-5 drops to a bowl of hot water. Soak a cotton cloth in the water. Wring out).(Caution: Keep away from eyes)

  Rub a small dab on each temple or the back of the neck or forehead depending on where you are hurting. It has a cool feeling as it soaks in.

• TEI-FU OIL: One of the very effective natural headache cures. Massage 2-3 drops into temples, also rub 2-3 drops on back of neck for those neck pains.
• CHAMOMILE or YLANG YLANG OIL: Take a relaxing bath: use 5-10 drops.

Vitamins and Minerals

If you face this issue frequently, it could be a signal that you are low on some important vitamins and minerals.

• DARK CHOCOLATE: Contains high amounts of B2 "Riboflavin" that has been reported to help prevent migraine recurrences.
• SUPER ORAC: Full of antioxidants that provides key nutrients needed by the body to neutralize free radicals, helps prevent cellular damage, and boost immunity. Antioxidants are the body’s natural defense against free radicals. They scavenge them, “mopping up” free radicals before they have a chance to harm cells.
• Great for tension. Loaded with B vitamins and niacin. Contains stress-reducing herbs also. Designed to support the nervous system, especially when under stress. During times of stress, the body rapidly loses B vitamins. Nutri-Calm provides generous amounts of these nutrients in a base of herbs known to support optimal nervous system health.
