Headache-relieving Herbs

I'm the same, it's called addictive personality. Which is why i've not gone near Heroin.

When you do get off it, roasted Dandelion roots make a good caffeine free drink, I have it with milk and 2 sugars

Ha! Well, it's relieving to know I'm not the only one. I definitely stay away from many things, just in case I like them. I know about dandelion - I'm one of those health-nut juicers and WHOA! One time I put dandelion leaves in my juice and I was bouncing off the walls with energy - but a non-jittery energy. I never thought about them again until now! Thanks for reminding me. I didn't know I could make a little dandelion brew...

Also, try rubbing on the back of your calf muscle when you feel a headache coming on; this sometimes makes it go away. I read about this in a magazine once. Good luck on quitting coffee...it is so hard to do!

At this point, I'm willing to try anything!

I am not a coffee drinker. My addiction to caffeine is all because of a Dr! Dr Pepper that is! If you find yourself a pantry monkey, send a sister or brother my way! Thanks.

In all seriousness, I hope you get some relief from your headaches.

I would breed pantry monkeys!!!! There are so many of us out there who need one (or two!).

Yes, I'm a fan of the Dr, as well. In fact, it's so contradicting but when I'm trying to quit coffee, I will have one Dr. Pepper to help get through the headaches. (But the Dr. has less caffeine than any other beverage out there, plus it's got prune juice in it, so I figure it's a better temporary substitute/quitting coffee aid. )

It has prune juice in it? Seriously? Plus, I did not realize it has the lowest amount of caffeine in it. I guess I was being healthy when I did not realize it. Ha! I wish it was that easy.
