Introduction:
Pain felt in the forehead, eyes, jaws, temples, scalp, skull occupit or neck. There are many types too numerous to list here. These can be caused by any number of disorders; Premenstrual tension, constipation and resulting auto-toxicity, liver sluggishness and high blood pressure. Allergies can be a big culprit, consider chocolate, eggs, wheat, dairy products. |
Migraines can be debilitating, causing constriction of neck and shoulder muscles. This often happens when tensions arise which in turn can restricts blood flow to the brain; the blood vessels dilate to compensate and the pain of migraine results. Prevention from known stresses can be useful management if this is the cause.
Correct diagnosis will be all-important for the individual as to what type of headache you have, so practitioner assistance will be vital especially with migraines.
Nutritional Advice:
Change your diet. Start by cutting out wheat, dairy products, tea, coffee and alcohol.
Herb Quality:
A large proportion of our herbs are grown in English soils, harvested using bio-chemistry analysis and many but not always, processed fresh, which heightens their remedial properties. The majority are grown organically and or sustainably wild-crafted. All manufacturing is carried out using licensed good manufacturing practice.
DO NOT MIX HERBAL MEDICINE AND GP PRESCRIBED MEDICATION WITHOUT THE PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR GP OR PRACTIONER |
Natural Healing: Sometimes osteopathic or chiropractic adjustment can help if the cause is a trapped nerve in the neck/spine. Light or deep massage can often benefit tense shoulders and neck.
