A headache can range from just a slight dull ache, to a pounding, sinus crushing, temple popping period of intense pain. Fortunately, there are a variety of herbal and natural headache remedies that have demonstrated headache treatment success in clinical testing.

Before you start to treat a headache, it is very important to know what type of headache you have.

There are two general types of headaches: Primary and Secondary.

A primary headache is the most common. These are when the main condition is the headache and related head pain. These include migraine headaches, tension headaches, cluster headaches, dehydration headaches, etc. These are generally not dangerous, but can be extremely painful and even debilitating. But, the underlying medical condition is just the headache, not something more complicated. So, treating the headache will treat the problem, so to speak.

Then there are secondary headaches. These are headaches that are the result of some underlying health issue. They are usually extremely dangerous, and cannot be cured or treated with normal natural OR synthetic remedies. For example, a brain tumor can put pressure on the cranium, and result in extreme headaches. Also, a brain hemorrhage can do the same. A sharp blow to the head or other head trauma can cause water on the brain, or other inflammation that can cause a serious headache. All of these are very serious, and a little aspirin or a little lavender won’t do anything to solve these problems. Only a doctor or medical professional will know how to treat such underlying causes, and eliminate the source of the headache.

So, assuming you have a primary headache, here are natural remedies for headaches that are used to treat them:

Feverfew – This is probably one of the best herbs for eliminating migraines. Feverfew reduces the frequency of migraines, the time they last, and the amount of pain the cause. It is most effective if it is taken every day. This is because feverfew works as a preventative step… it won’t treat a migraine once it is throbbing.

Peppermint oil – Use a 10% peppermint essential oil solution, and gently apply it to the forehead. This can relieve the pain and possibly the duration of a tension or dehydration headache.

Tiger Balm – This is a mixture of essential oils, and it has a similar application and effect as peppermint oil. It is sold over the counter at many health food and supplement stores, or it can be found online. Studies have shown it works as a topical application to relieve headaches.

Melatonin – It turns out this supplement has some studies that demonstrate it will decrease the amount of monthly migraines a person will have. It needs to be taken every day, but it can be a wonderful natural migraine remedy.

There are several other successful herbal headache remedies , but these are some of the most effective for stopping migraines and tension headaches.

In today’s world, germs are getting smarter – and they are outsmarting modern medicine in a very scary way.

Yet natural colloidal silver may have the answer

You may have heard of all the recent outbreaks of Staph Infections around the world. This staph is literally building a resistance to antibiotics. It is an epidemic, and it can lead to death.

Due to this epidemic, research has stepped up in the area of antibiotics. What scientists have found is that pure silver is essential to life. Pure silver is a naturally occurring substance, and drug producers, such as Life Force International have been able to put  pure silver in liquid form, to be used as a natural antibiotic.

Scientists have discovered that while most antibiotics only disinfect about a half dozen germs, silver disinfects hundreds. Furthermore, germs are unable to build a resistance to pure silver, making it a much needed and essential natural antibiotic. Silver also is useful in fighting over 650 bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites.

Furthermore, prescription antibiotics, that are chemically manufactured, have awful side effects that are often worse than the condition that they were designed and prescribed to treat.

Pure silver has no side effects , and it can be used by adults, children, and even pets.

The human body naturally contains silver, although it isn’t very much. The average human body has .001 microns of silver. When that level drops, illness occurs. Life Force International offers Colloidal Silver in liquid form, and it can be taken indefinitely without worrying about germs or microorganisms becoming immune to it.

While antibiotics kill germs by poisoning them, Colloidal Silver literally smothers them by cutting the air supply between the germs and the enzymes that they need to survive and grow. This is why germs cannot become immune to Colloidal Silver – the silver isn’t fighting the germ the way that other antibiotics do, it is simply outsmarting it.

Even minute amounts of silver are effective in killing more than 640 different disease causing pathogens. Therefore,  Colloidal Silver can be used to treat illnesses , and to prevent illnesses from occurring.

Colloidal Silver can be used internally and externally. When used internally, it is important to increase your intake of water, so that the dead pathogens can be effectively flushed from the body. It is also important that Colloidal Silver not come into contact with other metals. It should be taken with a plastic spoon, syringe, or medicine cup.

This amazing silver solution has many uses inside and outside of the body

Externally, Colloidal Silver can be applied directly to cuts, burns, cold sores, open sores, and other injuries. It is also effective on mosquito bites, acne, dandruff, athlete’s foot, sore throat gargles, rashes, and eczema. It can even be used as drops for the eyes and ears, and sprayed in the nose for sinusitis.

Colloidal Silver also has household uses. It can be used to prevent mildew and to sterilize cooking surfaces. It can even be sprayed on the leaves of unhealthy plants to improve their condition. It should be stored in a dark glass spray bottle for household use.
