A Quick Herbal Remedy For Those Pesky Headaches

[bellajgw]

I know a lot of people get headaches while on Atkins and I would love to lend a hand in using what I know about herbs to help.

My suggestion, when you feel that headache come on, is to drink a cup or two of peppermint tea (must be peppermint, spearmint is not the same) and put some rosemary in it.

Peppermint is a wonderful and natural painreliever as well as a reliever of headaches. Peppermint is also wonderful as a digestive aid!

Rosemary has been used for centuries to treat headaches, pain and has a tendency to thin the blood just a little which can allow better blood flow to the brain. Rosemary is also helpful for stomach cramps.

I hope this helps, even a little.

Thanks for posting these tips! I'm a headache sufferer and will definitely give them a try. I have lots of rosemary growing in my garden.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I'm sure this is not what you meant, but just to make things clear for everyone, Atkins does not cause headaches and being on Atkins will not give one more headaches than he/she had before starting the plan.

You can also try lavender. Apparently, just smelling it will relieve headaches. Lavender Therapy for Migraine Headaches
