For a heat-pattern headache, herbalists often look for herbs that are cooling, downward-moving, and calming.
Bitter herbs are especially valuable because they help drain excess heat downward, while nervines, sedatives, and relaxants can ease the nervous system tension that contributes to pain.
It’s also important to understand what not to use. Some herbs may be cooling but still increase circulation to the head, making them better suited for cold or deficient headache patterns.
The key is not just knowing if an herb is “cooling” or “warming,” but understanding the whole energetic picture.
