Natural Headache Relief: 5 Headache Remedies That Really Work

I have suffered from headaches my entire life. Migraines, tension headaches, sinus headaches, you name it, I get them. Over the past year or so, I have been on a quest to find reliable, natural headache relief. I hate popping pills everytime I get a headache, which, in the past has been almost daily.

Many conditions are caused by a vitamin or mineral deficiency that can be remedied by changing what you’re eating.

I have also studied herbal medicine for many years, and have experienced amazing first-hand results. I love plant medicine and using essential oils for health and wellness as well as around my home.

I tried a lot of different things, but there were a few things that stood out as giving amazing results. Here’s what I found to be most effective, why it works, and how to use it!
