China’s secret weapon against headaches… IGNORED by American mainstream!
The pain can be SHOOTING… THROBBING… or ACHING…
And it can feel like your head is in a vise grip.
No matter what kind of headache pain you experience… whether DULL or PIERCING… there’s just 1 thing you want.
To make it go away!
Some folks are prone to tension headaches… or other pain brought on by stress…
While others can be STRUCK by an excruciating attack that seems to come out of nowhere.
You may have experienced a range of these types of headaches… and even migraines… yourself.
But I guarantee you’ve NEVER tried this ancient Chinese remedy to ERASE the pain!
CRUCIAL herb for headache relief
You may have never heard of Szechuan (or Sichuan) lovage (Ligusticum striatum)…
But Traditional Chinese Medicine relies on it so much to relieve pain and more… it’s one of the ancient medicinal practice’s 50 fundamental herbs.
Known in China as chuanxiong (or Chuan Xiong), it’s used commonly to both PREVENT and TREAT migraines.
This Himalayan herb is actually in the carrot family…
And its rhizome (or underground stem) is a TREASURED analgesic among the Chinese.
Not only does it act as a mild sedative…
But it also helps WIDEN vessels to allow blood to flow freely, which can help ease certain types of headaches (caused by vasoconstriction).
Modern research has revealed that the “secret ingredient” in this Chinese headache cure is a substance called senkyunolide… as well as other plant chemicals known as alkaloids.
That’s what helps bring powerful anti-inflammatory action to the table…
Particularly in helping to INHIBIT the inflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha… which studies have shown to be ELEVATED in migraine patients.
That’s the SAME target that Big Pharma has had in its sights for the development of headache and migraine drugs!
A Chinese herbalist may know Szechuan lovage better by the Latin name Rhizoma Ligustici Chuanxiong…
And can combine it with other TCM herbal remedies, depending on the root cause and concurrent symptoms of your headache…
Like sinus congestion or trauma… nausea or fever… and more.
To heading off migraines at the pass,

P.S. There’s an herb that’s related to daisies that could SLASH migraine frequency… and in just 30 days. Read all about it right here.
