Headache Relief: Don't Pop a Pill, Brew A Cup of Tea

Do you suffer from headaches and prefer not to pop pills?

While the vast majority of headaches are benign and self-limiting (common causes are stress, migraine, eye strain, dehydration, low blood sugar, and sinusitis), researchers from the University of Kiel in Germany have found that peppermint oils produced a "significant analgesic effect with a reduction in sensitivity to headache".

So brew a cup of peppermint tea next time for your achey-breaky headache!
