A Headache Cure That Is Not For Sissies

I was recently reminded of a cure for headaches that is very effective, but not for everyone. Twice this week, I had a headache so bad that I felt nauseous. On Monday, my headache was so bad that I left work to run to Target for some sinus headache medicine, as acetaminophen was not doing anything for me. On Tuesday, Valentine's Day, a headache pretty much ruined my night, but I still had to get my kids to sleep. After it was too late to save Valentine's Day, I remembered a cure that I found on the web about the time I started getting interested in nutrition and natural cures. Yes, I started a series on Kevin Trudeau's book and I intend to one day finish it. The cure?


Cayenne Pepper

That's right, plain old Cayenne Pepper. I can't exactly say why, but it has worked for me every time, even though I often forget about it. I believe that it causes the constricted blood vessels in your head to open up. In any case, it works just fine. I guess in light of my recent reading of "Natural Cures They Don't Want You To Know About", I should state that I am not a doctor and my advice is not medical and to cover all bases I should add a disclaimer such as "For Entertainment Purposes Only".

Now that you've been disclaimed, how do you take Cayenne Pepper? There are several ways. You could buy the peppers and eat them. That's fine, but it's hard to keep them on hand for those times when you need them. What if you go months in between severe headaches? The peppers won't last. I have come to us the pepper in ground form:

Ground Cayenne Pepper

I sprinkle some in my hand and lick it. Yes, it's not easy to do, and I drink some water or anything else within reach immediately afterward. Like I said, this cure ain't for sissies. Now, you could take an easier way out and sprinkle it on food. That would probably be better. I just don't seem to be eating when I decide to use this on a headache.

I hope this is of help to someone.
