Heady tea is great for relieving migraines, sinus headaches, and everyday stress headaches. Drinking this tea can make your headaches subside. It may be necessary to lie down for about fifteen minutes after drinking the tea to give it a chance to work its miracle. Heady tea will cure a sinus headache associated with a sinus infection, but will not cure the sinus infection. Migraines are relieved within the hour after drinking the tea. This tea is a great alternative to medications or pain relievers. For tension headaches, another mixture can be used.
