White Willow

The salicylates in white willow are the basis for the pharmaceutical drug we call aspirin. Therefore the medicinal properties of white willow are similar to those of aspirin. White willow bark is an antipyretic (fever reducer), analgesic (pain reliever) and anti-inflammatory. It also thins the blood and decreases mucus secretions.

Natural health practitioners for headaches, arthritis, gout, muscle injury, joint injury, other inflammatory conditions and fevers recommend white willow.

White willow can be used as encapsulated bark or dried bark. Better quality supplements are standardized which is an assurance that the product contains white willow and has some active properties. Products that are made with only the bark are stronger than supplements that use the whole tree. White willow is found as a component of pain relieving and anti-inflammatory formulas.

White willow contains compounds that are similar to aspirin. They decrease your blood clotting ability therefore those with active bleeding, or those who use blood thinners, aspirin or NSAIDs should use caution. For the same reason, stop using white willow 2 weeks prior to surgery or dental procedures. White willow also interacts with numerous other medications so it is best to consult with a health professional before using it. Do not use white willow if you have liver or kidney disease. Do not give white willow to children because of the risk of Reye's syndrome. Do not use white willow if you have an allergy to aspirin or are pregnant.

Migraines

Migraines are a common type of headache and may be caused by vascular changes in the brain. A variety of medical concerns can trigger these vascular changes, for example: dehydration, food allergies, hypoglycemia, trauma and TMJ disorders. The most important element in developing a migraine treatment program is to figure out its origin. Then natural remedies can be tailored to that cause.

The symptoms of a migraine can often be debilitating, and for some they can even last days. They usually have one-sided throbbing pain localized on either side of the head; nausea, vomiting, cold hands, dizziness and sensitivity to light and sound are often present as well. Some migraine sufferers experience auras that precede the headache and can be an early warning sign that a migraine is about to strike. Most commonly they can include visual disturbances but may also take the form of odour disturbances. numbness, or tingling on the one side of the face or body.

When these early warning symptoms appear, take careful note of what you were doing, eating, or what might have changed in your environment that might have triggered them. If you notice a pattern developing, then do whatever is possible to eliminate or lessen these factors.

Conventional treatment of migraine involves the use of aspirin and acetaminophen. They do not deal with the underlying cause of the headache and usually only provide minimal relief - if any. Repeated use can interfere with the brain's ability to deal with the source of the headache. Imitrex is a recommendation drug that increases serotonin levels and is helpful for some migraine sufferers. Serotonin influences vascular tone. Side effects of Imitrex are heart palpitations, hypertension and tightness in the chest, jaw or neck. Migraines can also be triggered by hormonal fluctuations, especially during pms. If the migraines are related to hormonal changes then oral contraceptives are sometimes recommended.

To reduce the frequency and severity of migraines naturally, reduce your stress level, have regular chiropractic adjustments and get proper rest. Practice deep breathing exercises to increase brain oxygenation. Keep a log of your headaches to see if things such as food, stress or your monthly cycle affect them. All of these things are easy to do and can go a long way to reducing the frequency and severity of often debilitating migraines.

Use a cold compress on the origin of the migraine pain to constrict vessels. Rub essential oils such as peppermint or lavender over the painful area (keep away from the eyes) to provide quick relief of migraines.

Dietary considerations for migraine headaches include cleansing the body of toxins. If the body is overloaded it is less able to deal with stressors and migraines are more likely to occur. See the section on detoxification for more information on cleansing. Prevent dehydration by drinking 2L of filtered water daily. Avoid any foods you are sensitive to. Foods containing tyramine and phenylalanine are well known for their headache promoting properties.

Tyramine containing foods are alcohol, bananas, cheese, chicken, chocolate, citrus fruit, cold cuts, herring, onions, peanuts, pork, smoked fish, sour cream, vinegar, wine and fresh baked yeast products. Phenylalanine containing foods are aspartame, monosodium glutamate (MSG) and foods preserved with nitrates like hot dogs and luncheon meat. Eat a well balanced diet with ample protein to keep the blood sugar level.
