Help for Headaches
Headaches are tough — they can be caused by a lot of different things, and the over-the-counter medications used to treat them (Advil, Tylenol, etc) can have some nasty side effects. Here are some natural suggestions:
Homeopathy
1. Belladonna: Good for right-sided throbbing headaches, especially those from colds, sinus problems, or too much sun. Headaches that feel better when you’re lying down in a dark room with pressure applied to the head can benefit from Belladonna.
2. Gelsemium: Good for headaches accompanied by sore neck and shoulders. If your headache makes you feel dizzy, dull, droopy, and tired, Gelsemium could be the remedy for you.
Hot/Cold Packs
Grandpa’s Garden makes a variety of neck hot/cold packs that can offer significant relief for chronic headaches. I find that even having the weight of the neck pack reminds me to relax my shoulders and neck and helps a great deal.
Herbal
1. Gaia’s MigraProfen: I just tried this product this week and was VERY impressed. By taking 2 capsules every 15-20 minutes (I took a total of 5 servings), I got quick and effective relief that let me stay at work and feel fine the rest of the day. I highly recommend this product!
