Headaches can be a real pain!
Literally.
In my previous post, I provided an overview on headaches. I discussed their classifications, common types, causes, red flags, and functional medicine tests to consider when the underlying reason for them is hard to determine.
In my latest article and video, I review the major causes of headaches and dive into naturopathic and functional medicine approaches that can help to soothe an achy head based on them.
After all, just taking a supplement because it has evidence for alleviating headaches in trials is not likely to help. Furthermore, if it’s not indicated it could cause additional issues and lead to side effects. For lasting relief, you need to address your specific underlying imbalances.
