Synopsis

Suffering from headaches and tension is almost part of most people’s daily life. Sometimes it becomes so “normal” that is not taken seriously enough to be addressed specifically.

Instead most take the easiest solution available which is pill popping. Certainly not a long term solution, neither is it a wise thing to disregard, however using the herbal remedy alternative may be the one way of solving this condition permanently.

There are many types of herbs available to treat the annoying symptoms of headaches and tension. Some herbs are formulated to treat the conditions topically while others are meant for internal consumptions.

Herbs made into ointments and creams serve just as well and don’t really cause any adverse negative effects to the individual. However, some of these ingredients can be quite strong smelling, but it’s all part of inducing the comfort element to treat the conditions.

Tiger balm, peppermint oil, and nutmeg oil are just some examples of headache and tension healing herbal concoctions. Below is a list of possible herbs to choose from when addressing the headache and tension conditions:

  • Feverfew – ability to prevent and stop headaches
  • Ginkgo biloba – improves the circulation and decreases inflammations
  • Chamomile – relaxes the body
  • Peppermint – simulates the refreshing aura
  • Valerian – acts as a powerful sedative
  • Lemon balm and passion flower – arrest a possible attack
  • Rosemary – calming effect

Besides trying all the different herbs to starve off these inconvenient and sometimes even painful conditions, keeping a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet also helps to assist in the better state of body and mind.

Therefore when a possible attack of a headache or tension sets in, the effective use of the herbal remedy is heightened. In some cases a topical application may be adequate in addressing the condition quickly and effectively.

These kinds of applications are always a better option to choose from rather than having to consume the herbs.
