Q: Can anyone recommend natural treatments for headache?
I woke up at 7 am this morning with a headache across the front of my eyes, I only had 2 units of alcohol last night, SO doubt it is a hangover.
So far today I have tried
Co dyrdamol ( paracetamol and codeine)
80mg of codeine
Hedex ( not sure whats in that I think paracetamol and asprin)
Nureofen express
Nurefeon plus ( codine)
feminax ( contains paracetomol and a muscel rexlaxant)
I also took alka seltzer.
I was careful to space the products containing parecetomol so not to cause damage although I have gone slightly over the recommended amount.
I have drank lots of water, Ive spent most of the day lying down in a darkened room with a cool pad over my eyes, and I have still got a headache ( although it is much less severe now)
My question is, do you know of any natural remedies as I clearly cannot take anymore painkillers
Should I call NHS direct ( everytime I do they just tell me to go to the doctors or A and E, Im not going to A and E for a headache and wait for hours for a headache which is not that severe now.
A: Lemon Tea. That really helps.

Q: I feel out of sync, anyone know of a natural treatment/diet?
I have a few various symptoms,
stomach aches,
i’m always thirsty,
terrible long-lasting headaches,
and it’s sometimes painful to swallow.
I’ve tried treating each on its own, but to no avail.
So, I am searching for something I can do to resync my body, whether it be diet, exercise, meditation, etc.
Thank you guys so much for suggestions
P.S. I already have a fairly good diet. I eat fruit and vegetables constantly, and I drink lots of water.
A: “out of sync“ is not a medical condition.
You are describing a variety of symptoms that may or may not be related to each other, and may or may not be indicative of an underlying medical condition. For example, excessive thirst is one of the symptoms of diabetes.
Quit trying to diagnose and treat yourself, don`t ask strangers on the internet for medical advice (myself included !!) and see a doctor to get a proper assessment and relevant testing.
Q: my girlfreind gets really bad headaches. does anyone know of a natural treatment?
A: Try going to the chiropractor. The problem could stem from her neck being out and the nerves being pinched. The headaches won’t stop occurring until the problem has been fixed. once her neck is realigned they should stop occurring immediately.
Q: Natural treatments for headaches and arthiritis?
A: DETOX!
Q: Headache? Causes? Treatment? Help?
I am 19 years old and for the last 5 to 6 years have been getting extremely bad headaches and migraines. In the last three years they have been getting more frequent and worse.
I have kept a headache diary where I have listed the day, time headache started, what I was doing when it started, what the temp and weather conditions were that day, even down to humidity levels and air pressure and where I am in my cycle. From what I have deduced over the years is that there is no common factor between these headaches, (most of which register between an 8 and 10 between 1 an 10). They accure on days where it’s cold, days where it’s hot, days with high humidity, days with low humidity etc etc etc.
I get my eyes checked every 12months and wear contacts, I do suffer from some minor back and neck pain but not common enough to contribute to the headaches.
I have made appoints with the doc but as soon as I make the headaches stop for a few weeks. They come along in random clusters, varying the lenght of the headachea and time between them.
I know I should really go to doctor and have it looked and possibly get scans but my as I’m not working and still under my parents medical aid, they won’t allow it.
Currently I take Adco-dal, which is the onlything that gets rid of them, but I don’t like the idea of taking upto four pills a day and only take them when it’s absolutely neccessary.
Oh, ya, they seem to be mainly located in the front of my head and put alot of pressure from temple to temple in the front. Sometimes I get light headed and nauseous and feel as though I am about to pass out.
Any ideas on natural remedies that are easy to get hold of or even a cause.
The only other person to get headaches is my mum’s mum, and those are caused by too much citrus, oranges mainly.
A: You have my sympathy, as I went through
months and months of pain and tests to
try to determine the source of my
disabling headaches. I did pass out
four times, once while crossing a very
busy city street.
Mine were caused by Nutrasweet.
Nutrasweet, or aspartame is an artificial
sweetener. It is rarely diagnosed, as
few people are actually allergic to aspartame. Rather the compound can
form dangerous compounds. I am still
not diagnosed with aspartame poisoning,
but when I ceased using it, the headaches
went away. The official numbers of people
with artificial sweetener reactions are
growing rapidly, even though most of us
simply quit using nutrasweet and get better.
You did not mention if you were keeping
a daily food journal. You did mention
your grandmother’s trigger was citrus.
Citrus and caffeine are two of the big
cluster headache triggers, and are implicated
in migraines as well, although migraines
usually come with an aura.
If you use anything with artificial sweeteners
in it, you may try giving it up, to see
if that could be the cause. Dehydration
and caffeine could also be your problem.
Try to find some way of getting tests.
Even if you must have someone take you the ER when you
feel a blackout coming on. i
~Good Luck~
Q: Natural treatments for Chronic Tension Headaches?
I was diagnosed with tension headaches a few weeks ago, but because my doctor is a butt and wont let me see him unless I pay $75.00 a visit (old bills) until they are paid off I can’t get my prescription filled for Feldene which was making them go away. I would maybe have one a week where as before I was having them anywhere from 3-6 days a week and hours at time. Even though I was still having them once a week the were not as painful as before. I was wondering if there are any natural remedies such as vitamins that I could take to help alleviate these damn headaches until I can come up with the money to see my Dr? Any tips would be much appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.
I don’t eat many sweets of any at all. But thanks for the tip
A: Perhaps reducing your intake of refined sugar as in desserts, cakes, cookies, biscuits, chocolate, icecream, lollies and so on might help. See item 71 in http://www.rheumatic.org/sugar.htm .
Q: Does anyone know what Chinese Herb is used for the treatment of Migraine headaches?
Trying to switch to natural remedies and I’m just curious what an herb doctor would normally prescribe
A: Chinese herbal medicine uses several herbs at once to treat a specific condition.
Take a look at some examples here. These are Chinese patent formulas made specifically for headaches. Each one has several herbs that synergistically work together for headache relief.

Q: Why are people so down on the Natural Remedies book just because the author(Kevin Trudeau) was a felon?
Yeah, so he was a felon.. so what? The stuff in his books arent things he made up. In fact, if you pick up one of his books he sites the sources (which are real doctors from all over the world) who believe these treatments. In america we have all been brainwashed to believe that only the “medical” doctors can help us with all their drugs.. but thats crap. I have been seeing an herbal medicine doctor for 11 years. For 16 years I suffered from migraines. He gave me a little bottle of some herb (it was 11 years ago, I dont remember what) and I haven’t had one since. I read thru trudeaus book and havent found anything I couldn’t find research to back up. People who are in denial that natural cures work have been brainwashed by society. They may take longer to work, but that’s because they actually work, they don’t mask the symptom. Think about it, you take asprin for a headache..why? Is an asprin deficiency causing it? You mask the symptom, but never cure the cause.
From what I gathered what the book said was that viruses could be cured. And before anyone says it, it also says that the sun doesn’t cause skin cancer. And this has been proven over and over. All the crap we put in our bodies causes skin cancer. Thats why people who live in warm climates, out in the sun, in other countries don’t get it nearly as often. They don’t stop at McDonalds every day. They eat healthy and that keeps their bodies healthy, which keeps their skin cells healthy.
A: I agree North Americans in general are eating horribly, not exercising enough, overweight, and using too many unneeded Rx meds. However, no one needs a book to tell us that.
Fact is, while this book may work for people who have “benign” (non life-threatening) conditions like headaches, rashes, or are otherwise healthy, there is nothing here that can cure all the diseases he claims he can.
Most people with serious diseses KNOW they may or will die without treatment, so why would they take the risk? I know if I had breast cancer I would rather have the tumour removed as opposed to taking an unproven herb for months in hopes that it *may* have any effect.
In fact, people with serious diseases DID die prior to modern medicine. Surgery, antibiotics, medication, and vaccines have saved many lives. Perhaps your own parents were spared from polio due to modern medicine. Perhaps antibiotics have saved you from a deadly infection.
I think the people who are REALLY brainwashed are the people who don’t see ANY of the good in Western Medicine and think that a $150/vial unproven natural “remedy” or $20 book will cure all of society’s diseases.
P.S. That guy has NO understanding about health, medicine, or science.
Viruses constantly mutate and spread like wild fire. If we could even cure 1 strain, 500 new mutations would reproduce themselves within the hour.
Second, people who live in “hot climates” near the equator get tons of sun exposure, yes, BUT THEY TEND TO HAVE MUCH DARKER SKIN!!!! Although people with dark skin can get skin cancer, the risk is much higher in the light skinned. I’m sure the cases of skin cancer in white people in that same area are quite high, it’s just that they make up a small portion of the population.
We all need to live healthy and take care of ourselves. There is a time and place for natural preventative medicine. But someone unqualified like Trudeau should not be falsely claiming he has conqured complex diseases in his propaganda book.
Because he is uneducated and probably KNOWS he is wrong or misguided, he is out to scam the public. His target audience isn’t healthy people, it’s the desperately sick and dying people looking for a miracle.
Q: I was diagnosed with Hoshimoto’s thyroiditis, but told there was not any treatment necessary?
I have many of the symptoms, joint pain, unable to stand cold, headaches. The doctor says that all of my thyroid levels are normal, including my t4, so no treatment is necessary. My thyroidglobulin level was 346. That is what caused my diagnosis. She said that my tyroid will be fine.I feel tired all the time. I walk and eat right. Does anyone have a further suggestions as to how I might treat this from home or with natural remedies since I require no thyroid at this time.
A: Read this article it may help you. It depends on your levels as to whether it needs treatment or not.

Q: What vitamin deficiency can cause depression and tiredness,?
Frequent headaches, tiredness, depression, does lack of any vitamins or minerals cause that? Are there any natural treatments for it, like herbal blends, not weed, lol, but like stuff they sell at those herbal shops? or wal-mart xD
A: B 12 complex helps.
Eating large percentages of raw food (fruit & veggies) helps a great deal also.
Drink lots of water, cut back on soda, caffiene etc.
You will have more energy, less depression, headaches, and be thinking much clearer.

The doctor denies its the antibiotic. but he can barely move his arms now, lies down with bandeage on his eyes as light hurts him and has continuous headaches. he stopped taking it. but now we’re looking for natural treatments to help him. He says its the same antibiotic the army gave soldiers to fight amtrax. its very poisonous antibiotic.

Q: Does natural detoxification really work?
http://www.drnatura.com
I found this site a few days ago, and am seriously considering undergoing this treatment. I’ve been plagued with near-constant stomach pains and headaches and a general feeling of malaise since I was 13, with no solid diagnoses from my doctors.
I’m wary, however. This product seems to be a magical cure-all. My mind automatically associates things like this with snake-oil salesmen. I’m never convinced by testimonials, because… well, would they really post negative feedback on their site if they’re trying to sell something?
So is this system worth spending my money on?
A: try doing the natural detox without any other products. just alter ur diet and lifestyle and to help elevate the detox process u can use herbs or natural products available at most health stores.
this will do the trick and i see no reason why u’d have to buy any external prodcuts to detox ur body.all the best!
