White Willow & Feverfew

White Willow & Feverfew: Headache, pain, migraine

Ingredients: White Willow Bark and *Feverfew.

Use: White Willow Bark is considered by most herbalists as one of nature’s greatest gifts- a pain reliever that converts to
salicylic acid in the body without side effects. Used for arthritis, to reduce inflammation, relieve pain and lower fever. Unlike
aspirin which can irritate the delicate stomach lining, White Willow contains tannins which actually help the digestive
system. Feverfew has also been used effectively to relieve inflammation and prevent migraines or reduce the severity of
symptoms.

Each week, 40 million Americans suffer from headaches, and most try to find relief through pharmaceutical painkillers.
However, frequent use of painkillers can actually cause a rebound effect, which will make the aching worse. Tension
headaches, which account for 90% of complaints, are spurred by stress, anxiety, or depression, and are best treated
through relaxing the muscles and by dealing with emotional issues. Other natural remedies include checking for food
allergies. Keep in mind that an allergic reaction to a food may take up to 72 hours to materialize. Willow bark is often called
'herbal aspirin' because of its pain-relieving abilities, and capsaicin, a compound derived from the cayenne pepper, can also
relieve headache pain. For migraine sufferers, a low-protein diet is a viable option, since the amino acid tryptophan (found
in protein-rich foods) is converted to serotonin - a brain chemical that worsens some migraines. Studies have also found
feverfew to be effective in decreasing the quantity and severity of migraine headaches. It must be taken daily for at least
four to six weeks before it starts to offer protection. Along with willow bark, capsaicin, and feverfew, ginger is used
traditionally in China to prevent migraines, and ginkgo and garlic used to conjunction with feverfew may provide better
relief. Migraine-sufferers are generally deficient in magnesium, and supplementation of magnesium is recommended along
with calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B-2. Supplements of fish oil have also worked as a treatment. In addition, be sure to
check for food allergies. Source: Natural Living Today, June 1998NUTRIENTS THAT ENERGIZETaking into account that it
is best to treat the underlying causes of fatigue (usually sleep deprivation and/or stress), there are several nutrients and
herbs that help to fight fatigue:Zinc. In one study, zinc-deficiencies were shown to have a direct correlation with the
severity of fatigue. Magnesium. Symptoms of a magnesium-deficiency include fatigue. Co-Q10. An essential component
found in all plant- and animal-based foods, Co-Q10 has proven itself to relieve the symptoms of fatigue. Carnitine. The
symptoms of a carnitine-deficiency, which can be detected through a simple blood test, include weakness and fatigue.
Vitamin B-12. Though rather uncommon, a deficiency in vitamin B-12 is characterized by lagging energy. NADH. Namide
adenine dinucleotide (NADH) is involved in the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the bodyís primary
intracellular energy source. Therefore, the more NADH a cell has available, the more energy it can produce. Source: Health
