Headache, Tension
DESCRIPTION
Tension headaches are so named because it was once believed that tension of muscles
in the head and neck were the cause. However, it has since been determined that,
while tension of the scalp and neck muscles may exacerbate the headache, the actual
cause is similar to that of a migraine, just not as severe.
SIGNS/SYMPTONS
Steady pain or pressure in the scalp, temples, or back of the head occurring bi-laterally.
The pain may be dull, intense, sharp, or diffuse and can last from days to weeks.
It rarely involves nausea or vomiting and only slight dizziness may occur. Some
describe the pressure as feeling like a constricting band encircling the head, while
others report tinnitus.
CAUSE
The exact cause is not known but several conditions may promote the onset of the
tension headache, such as poor posture, stress, fatigue, depression, anxiety, too
little or too much sleep, a noisy or poorly ventilated environment, physically exhausting
work, eye strain, PMS, or nutritional deficiencies.
TREATMENT RATIONALE
Similar to migraines, the focus of enzyme therapy and liquid VIBE micro-nutrient
consumption with tension headaches is both to promote optimal blood circulation
and to minimize toxicity. Additionally, conditions of stress, anxiety, PMS, and
insomnia can be helped with enzyme therapy and VIBE.
NUTRITION RECOMMENDATIONS
Adequate fluid intake (half your body weight in ounces daily) and following a balanced
diet according to body type are suggested. Liquid VIBE micro-nutrient with
over 100 minerals, vitamins, and herbs has been found to reduce the intensity of
headaches within 15 minutes when nutritional deficiencies are a component of the
headache.
**It is important to address the patient’s diet, exercise, and lifestyle on an individual
basis and in regard to body type (see Digestive Balance Protocol). Support
products are recommended as needed based on the patient’s condition. Enzyme therapy
can be used safely in conjunction with other medical therapies.
**The FDA has not evaluated these statements. These products are not intended to
diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
PROTOCOL (for Tension Headache)
*The above suggestions are intended as a basic guideline. It is always important
to address the patient’s diet, exercise, and lifestyle on an individual basis and
according to body type. Support products may be added as needed based on the patient’s
condition. Enzyme therapy can and often should be used in conjunction with other
therapies.
