What Herbal Remedy Is Used For A Headache?
Is there an herb for that?
As an herbalist, I get asked many questions that seem super simple to answer. In the USA where pharmaceuticals are mainstream solutions to ailments we suffer from, the thought is that there is one simple solution to one simple health issue.
It is true that acetaminophen can make a headache go away in most cases. It is also true that the headache can return with a vengeance and popping acetaminophen constantly will harm vital organs.
These truths cause some to seek solutions outside of the mainstream pharma show here in North America. Folks are wanting to solve health issues without the deadly side effects that pharmaceuticals provide.
Headaches are just as common as doctor visits in this fast-paced culture of quick fixes, fake food, and the pharma pill-popping show here in America. A simple headache should have a simple solution, most would think.
Recalling a moment when I learned small children get prescribed laxatives for constipation by American physicians and a different occasion when an obese patient got the same solution issued in pill form…
I can tell you firsthand that the correct questions & answers are being skipped often in the doctor's office.
Knowing how a laxative made in the lab actually works in the body might send all of us running for a different solution to constipation! I won’t fill you with the fearful facts of that here.
What we want to know is… What herbal remedy is there for a headache?
Let us start by looking at the entire body as one system working together in unison to be a whole. Each part counts on the other for healthy functions.
e.g.
If your leg is broken, you will limp a lot and cause your hip to be stressed with a few extra aches. Using a crutch will harm your armpit, and stress your wrist!
There are remedies for headaches that are not found in pill form at the drug store. Does that mean there is an herb for that? Do not be disappointed when I tell you- no.
No- there is not an herb for that! There is, however a solution for the headache that causes such dis-ease for the headache sufferer. The quick fix many look for could still be available even without a pill or an herb!
If we know what is broken AND why we can then maybe fix it! Believe it or not- questions are the answer to those awful headaches. Let's ask them…
- Did you stay up late last night?
- Do you drive home in the dark?
- Are you consuming water regularly?
- Does your favorite book have too many pages?
- How long ago did you hit your head?
Are these silly questions? Is that why the American physician doesn’t ask them? In the light of logic, it is wise to ask these questions and more!
The child that had laxatives prescribed was not asked about the food being consumed on a daily. What if the physician asked the big questions about diet? The answer would have been processed chicken nuggets 4 times a week and french fries smothered in grease.
The fruit, the veggies, the dark chocolate, and all the rest that keeps a digestive system working were not in that child's diet. Frozen corn dogs with boxed mac & cheese were another menu staple instead.
Without the big questions asked, the solution was not found. A pill known as “ a laxative” was prescribed right along with all of its harmful side effects, and the diet continued to serve a minimal purpose in the health of that child's body.
The obese fella is my family member who has a redesigned anatomy ( due to a routine, outpatient robotic surgery gone bad ) and needs real food plus exercise. A laxative would stress the digestive system to the point of no return. He was wise enough to change his diet and lifestyle without a laxative needed!
There is a healthy healing solution to headaches. It starts by asking the big questions. Why? Why does my headache? Does my body need water? Does my nervous system need rest? Do my eyes work too hard at night? Is my blood too thick or flowing too fast?
Herbal Remedies work well. There are medicinal plants on this globe that can heal a broken body part and put the system back into a healthy functioning state. Some of these herbs are stronger than valium and some are sweeter than white sugar.
These plants are living organisms that know their job and do it well. Their intelligence is not artificial and can be trusted to heal and keep one healthy.
We too are living organisms that have intelligence. Make sure when facing a headache or any other health issue- the knowledge gained and the solution obtained is not an artificial cover-up of symptoms.
There are Healthy Healing Solutions! Ask the big questions. The answers might surprise you. Maybe we don’t need an herb for that.
