Headaches-Are there any cures?

When you are trying to use Homeopathy medicine to cure headaches it is very difficult because there are so many different causative factors. Acute headaches are often only one part of a more generalised condition and frequently the tip of a more chronic iceberg. Uncomplicated headaches can result from: physical trauma, drinking too much, over use of the eyes or mind, over indulgence in eating, lack of sleep, an emotional upset or out burst of rage or even being in the sun for too long. The list is so long when it comes to types of headaches that it is impossible to list on here. According to one book I read, headaches can be an expression of a deeper problem, eg. high blood pressure, liver and gall bladder complaints, addiction to nicotine, your diet. But one thing in my case that triggers my migraines faster then anything is eating food that has MSG-Monosodium glutamate!

I found a great site that speaks indepth about MSG and all of the ways it is hidden in the foods we eat. I will post that right below this module. I know from my experience at the Headache Center about MSG being a strong cause of my migraines!

A migraine headache is a severe pain felt on one, and sometimes, both sides of the head. The pain is mostly in the front around the temples or behind one eye or ear. Besides pain, you may have nausea and vomiting, and be very sensitive to light and sound. Migraine can occur any time of the day, though it often starts in the morning. The pain can last a few hours or up to one or two days.

Blood vessel vasoconstriction and inflammation are implicated in migraines and are also caused by ingestion of MSG. If I ingest MSG I feel it first thing in my jaws, and within an hour I get a pain in the back of neck that goes up my head. When that happens, the only thing I can do is ride it out. I do not take prescription drugs any longer, so I use arnica gel for the back of my neck and ice packs for the rest of my head. I try to avoid sunlight and loud sounds.

I hope there is something in this lens that you find will help you in some way with your headaches. I will be updating this lens often, so keep checking back.

As I have already mentioned, I have had headaches everyday for a very long time. I have found several causes and have corrected those problems. But my headaches never completely went away. I still had them daily but the tension and the pain was different. It was not until not until this past February did my headaches just about disappeared.

To read the full content please go to HBP-High Blood Pressure It was in February that I found out I had High Blood Pressure and that because I have Heredity Hypertension I will have to take meds the rest of my life. The doctor told me that no matter what I tried to do, me developing HBP was a matter of time. Since I have been working on controlling my HBP, my headaches have just about disappeared!

Do not get me wrong, I still have them but not every single day. So the next time you go to the store that has a blood pressure machine, if may be something you may want to look at. To be very honest, I did not know that my headaches were caused from my blood pressure being elevated. But once I was diagnoised I have been doing a lot of research. You will be surprises how many wonderful things you can find out just by typing a couple words in Google Search. This is an interesting site I found that may be of use to you: High Blood Pressure Symptoms
