Here are some ideas to heal the issue.

Causes of Headaches
The key to successfully treating headaches and achieving long-term relief of headache symptoms lies in determining all of the underlying causes that trigger headaches. Holistic health practitioners recognize that chronic headaches are most often the result of systemic imbalances throughout the body, not just in the head itself, and that the potential causes of headaches can be varied, ranging from food and/or environmental allergies, constipation, gastrointestinal problems and hormonal problems, to infections, musculoskeletal problems, nutritional deficiencies, stress, and physical trauma


Quick Action Plan for Headaches

1. Since food allergies can play a role in over 90 percent of certain types of headaches, such as migraine, it is important that you be screened for food allergies and sensitivities, and avoid eating all foods that you are allergic or sensitive to.

2. Emphasize a diet of fresh, organic foods with an emphasis on vegetables, especially dark leafy green vegetables, salads, free-range organic poultry, wild-caught, cold-water fish, and non-gluten, complex carbohydrate foods, such as red potatoes, squash, and yams.

3. A helpful dietary remedy for headaches is “potassium broth,” which can be made by combining washed but unpeeled carrots and potatoes with a variety of potassium-rich green vegetables into a pot of water. Bring the water to a boil, and then simmer for ten to 15 minutes, then strain out the broth and sip it throughout the day.

4. To help prevent and reverse headaches, supplement with B-complex vitamins, vitamin B3, vitamin C, vitamin E, calcium, magnesium, and potassium, along with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), evening primrose oil, and the amino acid DL-phenylalanine.

5. Certain herbs can also help prevent and reduce headache symptoms. These include bay leaves, cayenne pepper, chamomile, coriander, garlic, ginkgo biloba, ginger, skullcap, turmeric, valerian root, wild yam, and willow bark.

6. Since headaches are often due to chronic muscle tension and/or muscle spasm, bodywork can be extremely helpful in minimizing the risk of headaches, especially Alexander Technique, Bowen Therapy, Feldenkrais, massage therapy, Polarity therapy, Structural Integration and Rolfing.

7. Hot baths, saunas, and steam baths can help ease headache pain by increasing blood circulation and easing muscle tension.

8. Learning how to cope with daily stress by practicing relaxation exercises can also significantly reduce the incidence of headaches. One of the simplest methods of relaxation is simply to close your eyes as you sit comfortably in a chair, breathing gently and deeply through your belly. Do this for five minutes at a time and repeat throughout the day.

9. At the first sign of migraine symptoms, add two tablets of Alka-Seltzer Gold to a glass of water and drink immediately. This simple technique can often halt migraine symptoms very quickly.

10. For long term health benefits, learn about colon cleansing to rid of the toxins in the blood.

Best of health to you

Answer 2

Among the many possibilities, you want to rule out those which are dangerous, like an aneurysm (brain bleeding). One way to tell is to take an aspirin which will make your brain bleed even more and make you headache worse. If it does, you need to tell that to the doctor. But there is a danger in using the aspirin method. An aneurysm is a ballooned out vein which leeks blood. If it gets big enough....well I don't want to scare you. Ask the doctor to check your spinal fluid for presence of blood. Also ask him for an CT scan or MRI. Some aneurysms are caused by a birth defect where two side-by-side veins have a connecting vein which is not supposed to be there. Such a minor defect, but one which can be life-threatening. Yes - the "stress" excuse. I hate it when doctors use that one. We all have stress but not all of us have those kinds of headaches, so it's a bunch of b.s. What it really means is that the doctor doesn't know. A headache can be caused by one of very many possibilities which means many diagnostic tests, most that will come back negative. If the doctor told you the truth, "I don't know", your next question would be, "well, how can we find out? Are there some tests you could run?". The doctor doesn't want to hear any of that so he tells you it's stress which dis-empowers you, and makes him the smart one. "Well, the doctor said it was stress, so...." your left wondering and asking yourself questions instead of the doctor. Don't fall for that b.s., OK?
