When Hannah consulted me for online herbs (consultation via zoom or telephone) for skin problems I soon discovered that she also suffered from chronic debilitating headaches. It was fantastic to be able to help her:
I contacted Sylvia in May 2021 because I had a skin rash that wouldn’t clear up, she managed that very quickly with Chinese Medicine. I’ve also struggled with headaches and migraines for many years and had given up hope that anything could help. They were severe and affected my work and social life, often meaning I had to cancel social engagements because I felt so unwell, work I managed to struggle through but they were pretty unbearable. By the time I started getting treatment with Sylvia I was having around 12-16 days with headaches a month! they were really affecting my quality of life. I explained this to Sylvia and she thought she could help.
Within one lot of prescribed herbs my headaches reduced considerably after two or three treatments I was down to one headache a month (this one remaining headache is around my menstruation, I can live with that but we are still trying to treat this one too!)
The treatment has been absolutely life changing for me, I’m no longer someone that suffers with constant headaches and pain! It’s hard to put into words what a relief it is to no longer feel so unwell all the time, thank you Sylvia!
With Chinese herbs its not a case of a particular herb being right for headaches – its about understanding your imbalances and identifying why you are getting the headache. For example, I will be considering whether you are excess or deficient; hot or cold; what other health issues you have; when your headaches started and whether they are triggered by anything. Its easy to see that I might treat a man who is overweight with high blood pressure – and who gets very overheated very differently from a woman who always feels cold and tired, especially after her period.
Its important to be realistic – it might be that the herbs do not work instantly as your system is depleted – and it may take a few weeks or even months of treatment. However, my commitment is 100% – to try to help you improve your health and feel better.
Please send me a message or give me a call to talk about how Chinese herbs can get to the root of your headaches!
