Before we learn how Ganoderma Lucidum and other herbs for headaches helps, let's find out what causes headache.
Eye, ear and nose problems can cause headache.
Blood circulation blockage and even tumor growth in head will also cause this bothering problem.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, there are many other causes for headache including:

• Too much body heat especially in liver, stomach and intestine
• Blood disorder and blood blockage
• Entrance of "cold wind", "hot wind" or "damp wind" into the body
• Weakness in kidney energy

It's a symptom of other hidden health problems in your body.
Therefore, to cure headaches, you need to identify its root cause.

Each specific headache needs a set of specific herbs for headaches.
However, it's bothering to see so many people solve their headache problem with pain-killer.

After a while, the pain returns as the root problem is still unsolved.
Consequently, over the time, you may discover that you require a higher dosage to suppress the pain.
