In herbalism, the location and quality of a headache can reveal important clues.

Headaches often occur in specific areas:

🌿 Occipital: back of the head
🌿 Temporal: sides of the head
🌿 Frontal/sinus: forehead and face
🌿 Vertex: top of the head

Another important question is whether there is tension or constriction. Tight muscles, restricted vessels, and “wind” patterns can create a pounding, pressurized feeling.

Understanding where the pain is and what it feels like helps guide the right herbal approach.

The goal isn’t just to treat a headache, but to understand the pattern behind it.
