Natural Remedies for Headache
What is Headache?
Headache
Headache is a very common problem accounting for very many consultations with a doctor. The most common causes are tension headaches(q.v.) and migraine accounting for 93% of one series of patients. Other series showed that only one patient in 65 had a serious cause for their headache.
However we would advocate attending your doctor for a firm diagnosis:-
- if your headache was a new symptom to you
- if it was associated with:-
- paralysis
- muscle weakness
- dislike of light
- vomiting
- a stiff neck
- presence of a fever
- headache is of long standing
- the headache causes changes in the sufferer's personality.
Chronic Tension Headache
Chronic Tension Headache symptoms include a chronic persistent headache recurring daily over months or years. It is felt like a ridged band of heaviness or weight all over the head. It does not usually wake the sufferer from sleep although it is commonly present on waking after a night's sleep. It is often is associated with tension in the neck muscles and there may be pain in the temple especially when chewing.
Severe headache, with difficulty in speaking, drooping of one side of the mouth and one sided weakness is an emergency as it could indicate a stroke.
Also helpful may be migraine, high blood pressure, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and stroke.

What Helps Headache?
Headache Treatment
Medication
The usual drugs are tricyclic-antidepressants (such as amitriptyline) or one of the many over the counter aspirin/paracetamol/codeine and other mild analgesic mixtures or non-steroidal anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen. It is important to note that the prolonged use of paracetamol and ibuprofen can cause headaches and so trigger a vicious cycle of headache, pill taking and further headache.
