Headaches are one of the most common of medical complaints. Everyone, young and old, male and female, suffers from headaches from time to time. These may range from minor, nagging headaches to full-blown, incapacitating neurovascular migraines. However, no matter what kind, traditional Chinese medicine can explain why you are having the headaches you are and what you can do about them.

Based on the 2,000 year old theories of Chinese medicine, each person's headaches are unique and require their own individualized treatment. In this book you will learn a host of no or low cost, holistic and natural methods for preventing and treating all kinds of headaches. These treatments include Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, acupressure, Chinese aromatherapy, Chinese magnet therapy, Chinese dietary therapy, relaxation therapy, and exercise. If you or anyone you know suffers from headaches, this book is a must.
