Herbal Treatment For Headaches

There are many herbs which have been used for centuries to treat headaches and migraine.
They include.
Pulsatilla               Rosemary
Wood Betony      Chamomile
Lemon Balm         Dandelion Root
Lavender              Feverfew
Peppermint           Ginger
Skullcap               Valerian
Take your herbal remedy over several cycles, not just when you have the pain.

Where you feel that tension and stress are playing a part, use relaxing herbs such as:

Pulsatilla                 Chamomile
Linden Blossom      Vervain
Skullcap                 Wood Betony
Lavender                Rosemary
Passionflower          Hops

If you tend to feel cold easily and have poor circulation, you can use herbs that increase the circulation, particularly to the head.
These include:
Ginger                   Cayenne
Rosemary              Thyme
Wood Betony        Feverfew
Peppermint

You may find that liver remedies help, especially if you suffer from digestive problems or sluggish bowels.

Choose from:
Dandelion Root        Yellow Dock Root
Burdock                  Wormwood
Rosemary                 Feverfew

Hormone balancing herbs should always be included in your prescription. Take either Chaste Tree or False Unicorn Root or both. Some herbs contain natural salicylates (contained in aspirin) and can help to relive head pain. These include Black Cohosh and Meadowsweet. Regularly use of Feverfew will help to prevent migraine. Pick one leaf straight from the plant and eat it in a sandwich every day. Chewing the leaves alone can cause mouth ulcers in some people.
Essential oil can be applied directly to the head to relieve head pain - Rosemary oil is the best known for this purpose. You could also use Chamomile, Lemon Balm, Lavender or Peppermint oil. A few drops of essential oil can be added to the bath, or used in a massage oil to relive tension in the neck and shoulders.
