Most of those afflicted simply reach for the pills and wait for the problem to pass, and most doctors encourage this solution. In Pocket Guide to Healing Headaches, medical author Pat Thomas suggests another approach, one that explores the sufferer's personal history to determine the origins of the pain, and then marshals an array of strategies to combat the pain. These remedies, best utilized with the help of a skilled practitioner, include stress relief, changes in diet, herbs, aromatherapy, hypnotherapy, acupuncture, and massage. Helpful charts, useful addresses, and suggestions for further reading expand the possibilities for relief.
