Headaches Reveal What’s Wrong with Your Health
Understanding Headaches: Types, Warning Signs, and Natural Relief Strategies
Headaches are the most common form of pain worldwide and remain a leading cause of absenteeism from work, school, and doctor’s appointments. The National Headache Foundation estimates that nearly 28 million people in the U.S. alone suffer from migraines—a testament to how widespread and debilitating this condition can be.

Because headaches can have a variety of causes—from seasonal colds to hormonal changes—many people find it difficult to identify the type of headache they have and, more importantly, to treat it effectively.

Types of Headaches
Most headaches can be categorized into three main types based on their causes:

Vascular problems (such as high blood pressure or toxin buildup)

Muscle contractions (often associated with stress or tension)

Inflammation (typically caused by infections)
