Headache
Headache is not the same as migraine. Triggers include food intolerances, alcohol, constipation, hormonal imbalances especially around the menopause and menstruation, stress, caffeine, dehydration, lack of sleep, sinusitis, anxiety, fatigue, eyestrain, dental and postural problems. Narrowed congested blood vessels in the head and neck can also contribute.
Natural Practices recommend:
We use a multi-discipline approach for headaches - the first thing to identify is if there are 'Food Intolerances' triggering the headaches, if 'Hormone Imbalances' are causing a drop in blood sugar and triggering the headaches and if there are 'Vitamin Deficiencies' in key nutrients that may be causing a constriction of the blood vessels. We perform these tests with the 'Health Detective Screening System'.
We also suggest that you see our 'Chiropractor' or 'Cranial Osteopath' to ensure that the spine is correctly aligned and not compressing on vessels or nerves. Cranial osteopathy gently moves the plates of the skull to relieve pressure.
We have had much success in helping clients to overcome their headaches permanently. From the information acquired during the Screening, we will then devise a programme which may include a short detoxification period, dietary adjustments, nutritional and herbal remedies.
Please telephone or email and ask to book an appointment for a 'Food/ Hormone/ Vitamin and Mineral' test. This test takes about an hour.
