Today’s fast-paced world is a flurry of commotion – it’s no wonder we sometimes find ourselves frazzled and tense! When the muscles in the neck and head routinely tense up, it constricts the blood flow to the nervous system.
Most of us have had the experience of climbing into a hot bath, and feeling the common tension of every-day worries ease off our shoulders and the warm feeling of peace travel up our necks as our mind floats away on a cloud!
It is very important to ensure that the muscles and tendons in the body remain relaxed and calm, so that common nervous tension can be addressed.
Furthermore, our ability to stay a head, remain healthy and free of aches and pains also depends on a very important organ in the body – the liver. A healthy liver helps to eliminate toxins from the body, as well as to store important nutrients and maintain healthy digestion.
What causes headaches and migraines?
Doctors have different theories about the causes of migraines and headaches. Most doctors agree, however, that they have multiple causes and that it is important to do a thorough examination if you have recurring headaches.
Here are a few of the most common causes:
Stress and tension are high up on the list of culprits. Stress causes the muscles in the neck and head to tense up, thereby constricting blood flow to the brain
Migraine may be preceded by a spasm of the arteries leading to the brain, once again diminishing blood flow to the brain
Hormonal fluctuations may cause headache or migraine. This may also be linked to the contraceptive pill
Buildup of toxins and poor liver functioning can also be responsible for headaches because of the body’s inability to eliminate toxins from the diet or the environment
Certain foods, such as chocolate, cheese, nuts, alcohol and MSG may trigger migraines in susceptible people
Low blood sugar levels and dehydration can also bring on headache, especially if you have skipped a meal
In naturopathic medicine, headache and migraine is seen as a ’toxic’ condition and a signal from the body that there is an imbalance in organ functioning.
Naturopaths will treat the condition with the goal of restoring health and proper organ functioning, not only to relieve pain symptomatically.
The importance of diet and lifestyle cannot be stressed enough. A healthy diet and regular exercise help to keep your body and mind in tip-top shape, maintaining healthy circulation, reducing the effects of stress and helping to keep all body systems in good shape.
In this way, the muscles in the shoulder, neck and head area are kept supple and blood is kept flowing to these areas, helping to relieve common tension.
It is also important to eat at regular intervals during the day to sustain healthy levels of sugar in the blood, and to drink at least 8 glasses of water per day to keep the brain hydrated. Always avoid skipping meals.
Natural remedies have been used for generations to support a healthy brain, nervous system, circulatory and liver functioning and can be of great benefit for maintaining health in these areas.
"Julia (married, 33 years old) came to see me on the advice of her doctor. She was suffering from recurring headaches and migraines. Medical investigation revealed no obvious cause and her doctor was concerned that Julia’s headaches were psychological in origin. During her first consultation, she told me that she was taking over-the-counter painkillers on a daily basis and found that she needed stronger and stronger tablets to ease the pain of her headaches. Apart from the stress related to caring for a young family, Julia did not seem to have any particular problems which could be causing her chronic headaches and migraines and there was no sign of an underlying problem from her childhood. I told her about the ’rebound effect’ of painkilling tablets and that it was possible that the very medication that she was taking to relieve her headaches was also causing them to recur. Together, Julia and I decided that we would beat her headaches once and for all! I put her on a detox diet and recommended that she take MiGone daily, cautioning her that it might take a month or more for her to see positive effects. During the first week, Julia’s headaches continued and she used PureCalm to relax and help with the pain. By the second week, her headaches were less frequent and much less severe and Julia was beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel. When she visited me at the end of the fourth week, Julia had experienced only one mild headache in the previous 10 days and she was really feeling the benefits of the detox. diet! At her three months follow up visit, Julia was headache free and very proud of herself! It just goes to show that, even though headaches and migraines are often caused by psychological factors, this is not always the case. Had Julia’s doctor been more knowledgeable about herbal medicines, he may have been able to save her a trip to the psychologist!" Michele Carelse Clinical Psychologist
"After years of headaches I tried MiGone. I am now completely off the pain tablets for the first time since I can remember" William
"I had (stress induced) migraine headaches at least once a week ever since my son was born 3 1/2 yrs ago. The pain was horrible causing my life to stop for hours at a time. I was on 2 prescription medications costing approx. 6/month (I have no med insurance), and I still got the headaches. I tried MiGone Plus about 5 months ago. I figured what could I lose. I did exactly as they said, and I am happy to say I have been migraine free for about 4 months now. I never thought it could be possible that something so affordable could do what those expensive prescriptions couldn’t. Thank you so much for such a wonderful product!" Natalie
"Thank you for your wonderful products, especially Mi-Gone Plus! I have been a sufferer of cluster headaches since my teens and no-one could find the cause. The money I spent on pain medication was no joke and it always made me feel sick the next day. Since taking a course of Mi-Gone I have only had one attack, which was quite mild and went away sooner than usual." Karen
"I wanted to write and recommend Mi-Gone Plus to anyone who suffers from migraine like I do. It has made a tremendous difference!" Steward
"I have recently used your Natural products for severe headache/migraine. For many months I have been trying various drugs etc, and have in fact been referred to a specialist because of the lack of relief I have received from these drugs. I decided to ship to England your products, I have combined the MiGone Plus with PureCalm and have received an amazing relief from my problems. I have used the products for three weeks and they have changed the quality of my life completely. I wholeheartedly endorse these products, and have become an Affiliate of this company. Thank you." - David

(Tanecetum parthenium) is a well-known medicinal herb and one of the most widely respected ingredients to support the nervous system and routine blood circulation. Feverfew contains a range of compounds called sesquiterpene lactones, the principle ingredient being parthenolide. Recent studies suggest that this herb contains supportive properties for the nervous system. (Murphy JJ, Heptinstall S, Mitchell JR. “Randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial of feverfew in migraine prevention.” Department of Medicine, University Hospital, Nottingham. Lancet. 1988 Jul 23;2(8604):189-92.) (Pfaffenrath V, Diener HC, Fischer M, Friede M, Henneicke-von Zepelin HH; “The efficacy and safety of Tanacetum parthenium (feverfew) in migraine prophylaxis-a double-blind, multicentre, randomized placebo-controlled dose-response study”. Munich, Department of Neurology, University of Essen, Essen. Germany. Cephalalgia. 2002 Sep;22(7):523-32)
Milk Thistle
(Silybum marianus) is frequently recommended to support the liver. Milk Thistle contains a flavonoid complex called silymarin. Silymarin has anti-oxidant properties and can support liver functioning. This is a crucial component of overall systemic health as the liver is one of the most important organs in the body. (Di Mario, F. R. Farini, L. Okolicsanyi, and R. Naccarato. 1981. "The Effects of Silymarin on the Liver Function Parameters of Patients with Alcohol-Induced Liver Disease: A Double Blind Study" In: F. de Ritis, G. Csomos and R. Braatz (eds.). Der Toxisch-metabolische Leberschaden. Hans. Verl.-Kontor, Lübeck, pp. 54-58.) .
Passion Flower
(Passiflora incarnata) is used to support the nervous system. The active ingredients in this herb include flavonoids, cyanogenic glycosides, alkaloids and saparin. Like St John’s Wort, Passiflora has also stood up well to clinical studies which support its traditional usage as a moderating herb. (Akhondzadeh S, Naghavi HR, Vazirian M, Shayeganpour A, Rashidi H, Khani M. Passionflower in the treatment of generalized anxiety: a pilot double-blind randomized controlled trial with oxazepam. J Clin Pharm Ther. 2001;26(5):369-373). Furthermore, Passiflora incarnata has been used in other therapeutic settings with good results. (Akhondzadeh S. Passionflower in the treatment of opiates withdrawal: a double-blind randomized controlled trial. J Clin Pharm Ther. 2001;26(5):369-373). Passiflora is traditionally regarded as nature's help for frazzled nerves!
