The most common headaches are caused by constricted blood vessels that supply blood to the brain. Causes may include stress, eye strain, insomnia, depression, fatigue, low blood sugar, poor posture, PMS, sinus problems, allergies, and even caffeine.
Cultures around the world have natural remedies for headaches that we can all benefit from. Organic tea remedies are the most common in all ancient cultures that work to relieve the strain causing headaches.
Camomile - is most common in the form of tea in most grocery stores. It is a well-known natural remedy for headache that calms and soothes, used for adults and children alike. (Also a good sleep aid.)
Cayenne - dilates the blood vessels that contract with a headache. It comes in capsules or tablets. If you have frequent headaches, cooking with cayenne could be very beneficial for you.
Cinnamon - relaxes muscles, relieves stress and lowers blood pressure. It can also lower your blood pressure.
Feverfew - is a great reliever of cluster headaches and migraines. You can grow it yourself just about anywhere. The tiny white, daisylike flowers make excellent tea. Be careful, though. It reseeds itself abundantly. It works by reducing the dilated blood vessels. It is available in most health food stores in capsules.
Ginger - is a great remedy for headaches and is available at most grocery and health food stores in the form of teas in many combinations. You can also find it in capsule and tincture form at the health food store.
Lavender - is well known for it's ability to calm. Most headaches are caused by stress. Lavender helps relieve the stress and, in so doing, relieves the headache.
Aromatic remedies for headaches may work wonders for a tension headache. A nice warm bath with a relaxing scent can soothe away a tension headache in no time. Try peppermint oil, rose hips, camomile, or eucalyptus oil.
