<<Another Headache Cure?

This may sound weird, but it reportedly works like magic
to chase a stubborn headache away. Take a level teaspoon
of dried basil and put it in a cup of hot water for ten
minutes. Strain and cool the liquid, then add 2 teaspoons
of chilled witch hazel. Make a compress with the solution
and apply to your forehead.

  he has found that O2 helps more that the AMA stuff. anyone on here with 
  any experience with these things? any good herbal 
  remedies?    thanks,    jim,  O+, S
   
  Essentially a migraine headache.
  Take the diet supplement "Metabolife 356"   The headache should be gone 
  in 10 min.                   Ron


  i posted this about a year ago, and want to thank those that responded. my 
friend gets a swarm of these about twice a year, ever since in  his twenties. 
last week they started to show up again. i informed him of the effects of 
cayenne pepper, and he agreed to try it. he is no pepper-belly, so he takes one 
after breakfast and one after lunch, so he doesn't taste anything.

  each capsule is 450 mg of 100,000 scovill units. at one onset, the headaches 
went away after only two glasses of ice tea (for the caffeine),  and now he's 
pretty much headache free. he is impressed and will continue taking the cayenne.

  i wonder if homozon would have an effect with the extra 02 ?    thanks, 
again.....         jim
