There are three main types of headaches, tension, cluster, and migraine. The cures and home remedies that I go through here below can sometimes be generally very effective for all three types, or they could sometimes be more specifically beneficial for one particular type of a headache.

Tension headaches are usually caused from tension build up in the muscles and nerves of the head and neck areas. Cluster and migraine types of headaches are usually arising in you from problems associated with your blood vessels. Maybe they are constricted in some way, sometimes from an injury or strain or sometimes for some other reason.

Headaches can be triggered from a wide variety of causes ranging from food allergies, to hunger and even constipation can be a cause. Most of these causes that I just mentioned are food related, and so in this short article I will only deal with remedies that are also only food related as well. Otherwise my article would far be too long to be quickly read. My idea here is to provide you with some general advice and for you then to follow up with your own further research into some of these suggestions.

Certain foods in themselves are sometimes noted to be direct triggers for causing headaches. Chocolate, caffeine, cheese, some nuts and meats, and red wine are thought to fit into this category. It is still uncertain if the trigger is a food allergy, or more likely it is some substance that is contained within the food that is causing the problem for you.

It could also be some added substance such as a preservative or artificial sweetener that is contributing to the problem. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a common example of a food additive that is suspected to be a culprit.

There are a lot of would be cures for headaches out there, and a lot of them are claimed to be effective. The only problem though is that many of them are hard to find, and when you do locate them sometimes the tablets or the treatment are very expensive.

Feverfew for example is reported to work quite well when you take it to help alleviate your headaches, but the price of a bottle of tablets is enough to give you another headache. Feverfew is a type of flower, and it is a type of small chrysanthemum, (chrysanthemum parthenium). The flowers that feverfew displays are white daisy like flowers with yellow centres and it is a hardy plant and apparently easy enough to grow if you can locate a supply of them.

The leaves of feverfew are very bitter, but if you can disguise the flavour
