How can these natural headache relief methods work when conventional treatments dont?
Conventional treatment focuses on relieving the headache – each time it happens! Little is done to fix the problem causing your headaches in the first place. As a matter of fact, conventional belief is that headaches can’t be cured – but that’s definitely not the view of Oriental medicine. (I personally have only had 1 or 2 mild headaches in the last 15 years. I used to have them often, like everyone else!) Oriental medicine sees your headache as a lack of internal stability (a.k.a. “homeostasis”). Seems obvious, right? Headaches don’t happen if you’re healthy! So, instead of trying to just mask the pain, why not try to recover your health (i.e. internal stability)? Well, that’s how Oriental medicine works. The ancient doctors of China developed methods that trigger your healing mechanism to return you to health. Regain health = no more headaches. Sounds pretty basic (and simple), but, unfortunately, it’s not how drugs work. Drugs don’t fix your health – they just temporarily stop pain
