The headache, which affects mainly the female population, can have multiple causes, but there are effective solutions for it. Among them, natural remedies, such as mixtures of essential oils or crowns that massage the temples.

Have been classified more than 150 types of headache or headache. The most common are the primary, ie, those not related to injury and are the sole or main problem.

The primary headache is the most frequent headache tension that produces such overwhelming pain, moderate, affects the entire head is of muscular origin and is due to stress, tiredness, excessive work, worry. The more intense is the cluster headache: a severe pain that affects the region of the forehead and eye socket. The second most common primary headache is a common headache: a throbbing pain that usually affects only one part of the head, repeated at intervals and seriously deteriorates the quality of life. This problem affects mainly women.

According to María Luz García Toro, pharmaceutical and specialist in medicinal plants, "in cases of tension headache, also called muscular headache, the patient feels an aching, which can last from a few minutes and several days and, in general, is not accompanied other symptoms. " The headache is usually linked with a sustained contraction of muscles of head and neck, due to incorrect posture, stress or fatigue, among other causes.

"Only a third of people suffering from headache goes to the doctor, and the rest for solutions in the pharmacy. Although be aware that the abuse of painkillers can be harmful and become the cause of persistent headache: headache more intense accompanied by other symptoms such as vomiting and sensitivity to light. "

She also said that the use of products based on essential oils, when the first symptoms appear, can reduce the appearance of headache and its intensity. Essential oils are volatile and intense color contained in vegetables, both in flowers, leaves, fruits, seeds and roots. Are extracted by distillation of plants, by steam or pressure.

The amount of essential oil obtained varies according to plant origin: from 3 grams to 3 kilograms of oil per 100 pounds of plants. There are also differences for the same plant, according to their origin and maturity at harvest. According to the pharmaceutical combination of the most effective against the headache is that it includes the essential oils of lavender and peppermint piperita (mint). These products are applied to the skin through small circular movements at the temples, forehead and neck.


The relief has perfume plant

"The essential oil of lavender has an intense and pleasant scent known for its properties to promote relaxation. And the mint piperita is greatly appreciated by the reaction of cold caused by his contact, a cooling effect that induces a local anesthesia and reduces congestion or the inflammatory state of the underlying tissues, "the expert added. According to Dr. Marc Schwob, president of an association that studies the problem, "a headache now has highly effective treatments and should not hesitate to seek medical help and treat yourself to that end the paradox that half patients do not consult, while over 80% of those who do it can be completely relieved. "

According to Schwob, "if the medicine currently has remedies against very sophisticated attacks of headache, so it is not necessary to forget the old remedies, natural and without side effects." In antiquity, the inhabitants of ancient Egypt treated the headaches by applying local patches of wet clay mixed with herbs therapeutic virtues, whose effect was to compress the vessels, thus relieving pain.

"In our time we can get the same effect by combining massage and application of essential oils of peppermint and lavender at the temples, where the headache is more intense," says the expert. New technologies are also effective for relieving headache, naturally, as indicated by a recent study of neurologists and Yousef Hmaidan Carlo Cianchetti published in the Journal of Neurology, demonstrating the effectiveness of applying pressure on the superficial veins of the temple to relieve the headache.

This principle is applied to a new device shaped crown, whose curved ends exert controlled pressure at the point where it focuses on the increased sense of pain, producing a large effect of relief and reducing the disease in 90% of cases.

The system, called "MIGRACALM" fits the head of User and has a rim control to scale the pressure with the intensity of pain.
