From old adverts promoting Carter's Little Liver Pills to comic postcards depicting a man with a hangover sitting on his bed, headaches have been an age-old nuisance. Even Dr Williams' pink pills for pale people were once touted as a remedy for these throbbing sensations. Nature too has its own contributions to headache relief. The common arum and white and yellow flowered feverfew have long been used in herbal medicine to alleviate this tormenting ache.
