Epstein Barr virus symptoms - headaches.
The Epstein Barr virus that causes mononucleosis or glandular fever can affect the nerves of the
body causing headaches and muscle pains.
The best natural approach for headaches is to take some high dose magnesium, which is a muscle relaxant, plus the B complex and vitamin C. These nutrients will help relax the nerves and muscles to hopefully bring you some relief.
Epsom salt baths (2 cups to a hot bath before bed) and massage can also be beneficial.
If your headaches are not clearing with the above advice, then it may be that your liver is congested. This is common in Epstein Barr. Drinking at least 2 - 3 litres of water a day to flush out the virus and toxins in your system is essential. Start your day with lemon juice in warm water. When you are a bit
stronger, a more potent liver tonic would be a good idea.
If your headaches are prolonged or severe, it is important that you get a check with your doctor to rule out other causes of headaches like allergy, low blood sugar, hormonal imbalances, anaemia etc that may be contributing to your condition. It is also worth seeing a chiropractor or osteopath to ascertain if your neck and back is out.
