Herbal Headache Healers

     Next time you get that annoying pain between the ears, skip your medicine cabinet and head for your kitchen cabinet instead.  These herbs and spices may help relieve your discomfort:

1.  Ginger may soothe migraine symptoms.

2. Willow contains salicin, an aspirin-like substance, that can be ingested in a cup of brewed tea.

3. Red pepper's heat-containing ingredient, capsaicin, may help prevent cluster headaches.

4. Thyme can be prepared in compress form to relieve aching muscles in the neck, shoulders, and back that may contribute to tension headaches.  Or sip a cup of thyme tea instead.  

    Tap into the power of your spice rack!
