There are many types of herbal remedy for headaches that are just as effective at treating headaches as prescription and over the counter medications. These natural treatments are advocated by herbalists and others that use homeopathic treatments. The type of headache you have will determine the type of herbal remedy to use as different herbs will treat different headaches. You should not dismiss herbal headache treatments until you have tried them. If you do not use the herbal remedy properly then it may stop working or have a rebound effect. As with any type of treatment just because it is natural does not mean it has no side effects.
