Whether it is a headache, migraine or pain, headache is a condition that affects many people every day. In fact, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), about 45% of adults suffer from it. There is no better way to combat this recurring condition than with natural herbal treatments.
Plants that relieve migraine
First of all, it should be noted that migraine is caused by stress, lack of sleep, strong emotions and mental fatigue. It can be chronic, retinal or hemiplegic in nature. To remedy this condition, it is advisable to use herbs against headaches:
Peppermint
If you are a migraine sufferer, peppermint is an effective remedy as it soothes mental congestion and combats fatigue.
Griffonia
For its part, Griffonia is one of the plants that counter headaches and behavioural disorders (anxiety, depression and anguish) as it is rich in 5-HTP molecules.
Rosemary
Rosemary is not only considered a natural anti-inflammatory, it is also an antitoxin.
Vervain leaves
Otherwise known as grandma's remedy, applying a poultice of vervain leaves to the forehead can relieve migraines.
Treating headaches with herbal remedies
To relieve tension and Horton's headache, nature offers a wide range of headache herbs:
Partenelle or feverfew
Thanks to its anti-inflammatory virtue, feverfew tea is the best alternative for alleviating the various types of headache.
White willow bark
Without a doubt, white willow bark is a natural aspirin that has the ability to cure headaches related to menstruation, heat, fatigue and stress.
Caffeine
Plants rich in caffeine (mate, tea and coffee) have long been used to relieve headaches.
