Home Remedy for Headache

Headaches afflict almost everyone at some time or the other. Most
headaches are functional, being caused by temporary upsets, and
are not related to any organic changes in the brain.

They are often nature's warning that something is wrong
somewhere in the body. The actual pain, however, arises from
irritation to nerve endings in the shoulder, neck, and scalp
muscles, and also in the smooth muscles encircling the blood
vessels which serve these areas.

The common causes of headaches are allergy, emotional stress,
eye strain, high blood pressure, a hangover, infection, low blood
sugar, nutritional deficiency, tension, and the presence of poisons
and toxins in the body. Allergies are often the unsuspected cause
of headaches. The foods to which some people are allergic and
which can trigger headaches are milk and milk products,
chocolates, chicken, liver, alcohol, and strong cheese. Sneezing
and diarrhea are further indications of an allergy.
