Synopsis

Ninety per cent of adults have had a headache at some time in their lives. Almost twenty per cent suffer from chronic headaches, with migraines comprising eight per cent of these. Headaches are responsible for more visits to the GP - and for more drugs bought - than any other condition. Where this conventional approach seems not to be working, the world of alternative health seems to have excelled. 'Headaches: The CommonSense Approach' helps the reader become their own 'headache detective'. Thoroughly researched and written in an accessible style, Pat Thomas discusses who gets headaches and why. She helps track down their cause and covers in detail the solutions, from stress relief and diet to the various alternative remedies available such as herbs, aromatherapy, massage, acupuncture and hypnotherapy. Including helpful charts, useful addresses and further reading, this book itself will become a welcome relief for the many sufferers. Other titles in the series The Common Sense Approach 'Sleep' , 'Stress' , 'Pregnancy' , 'Addiction' , 'Men's Health' and 'Depression'. Other books by Pat Thomas Cleaning Yourself to Death Pregnancy - The Common Sense Approach What Works, What Doesn't.
