Headaches – The CommonSense Approach is a clear, concise and accessible guide that will empower headache sufferers to become their own 'headache detective'. 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 has excelled. Thoroughly researched and written in an engaging style, Pat Thomas discusses who gets headaches and why. She helps track down their causes and details a huge variety of solutions, from stress relief and diet to alternative remedies such as herbs, aromatherapy, massage, acupuncture and hypnotherapy. Including helpful charts, useful addresses and further reading, this book itself will be a welcome relief for the many headache sufferers out there. The CommonSense Approach series is a series of self-help guides that provide practical and sound ways to deal with many of life's common complaints. Each book in the series is written for the layperson, and adopts a commonsense approach to the many questions surrounding a particular topic. It explains what the complaint is, how and why it occurs, and what can be done about it. It includes advice on helping ourselves, and information on where to go for further help. It encourages us to take responsibility for our own health, to be sensible and not always to rely on medical intervention for every ill. Other titles in the series include Depression – The CommonSense Approach, Stress – The CommonSense Approach and Sleep – The CommonSense Approach.

'This book is full of wisdom ... and should be required reading for all women of childbearing age.' Marsden Wagner, M.D., M.S.P.H.

Pat Thomas treats pregnancy as a state of health, suggesting practical guidelines for a good diet and gentle exercises while offering sensible advice for common complaints that may occur. She also deals with the mother's emotional wellbeing both during and after pregnancy and looks sympathetically at the role of the man and how it can be enhanced to the benefit of both parents. Written in a supportive and easy style, the book includes helpful nutritional charts, useful addresses and further reading.

Using his long and successful experience of working with subtle energies, spiritual healer Paul Lambillion shows how to heal mental emotional and physical illnesses. Explaining the powerful effects of emotions and feelings on physical health, he provides a clear and persuasive framework for healing. We live in a time of emotional and mental overload, which is approaching crisis proportions. There is a rapid growth in mental and emotional illnesses and a consequent explosion in the use of psychoactive drugs. There are the new energy diseases such as post-viral syndrome, ME, fatigue, exhaustion, intermittent depression and so on. These have no pathological framework to explain them, and there is usually no specific treatment structure for them. They affect young and old. Throughout the book there are numerous exercises based on such techniques as breathing and visualisation, the use of energy essences, creativity and meditation. There are also many case histories. This is the perfect healing manual: wise, balanced and practical for our fast-changing times.

Based on the breakthrough understanding that virtually all headaches are forms of migraine--because migraine is not a specific type of headache, but the built-in mechanism that causes headaches of all kinds, along with neck stiffness, sinus congestion, dizziness, and other problems--Dr. Buchholz's Heal Your Headache puts headache sufferers back in control of their lives with a simple, transforming program: Step 1: Avoid the "Quick Fix." Too often painkillers only make matters worse because of the crippling complication known as rebound. Step 2: Reduce Your Triggers. The crux of the program: a migraine diet that eliminates the foods that push headache sufferers over the top. Step 3: Raise Your Threshold. When diet and other lifestyle changes aren't enough, preventive medication can help stay the course. That's it: in three steps turn your headache problems around.
