“What is a healthy natural substitute for ibuprofen?”
I'm 40 years old and sometimes have strong headaches. Whenever they hit, I simply take ibuprofen and start feeling better. Is there any natural substitute that I can use instead of ibuprofen whenever I'm in pain?

I recommend fining the root cause of your headaches and correcting that so you do not have to take a medication of supplement at all.
Hello - yes! Generally speaking, high dose turmeric capsules like any "mireva" type supplement, or for some, feverfew herb can help prevent migraines as well as treat headaches. However, keep in mind it's best to ask an herbalist or naturopath before starting to get a specific dose AND to make sure it's not going to interfere with any existing medications you may be on.

I would recommend seeing a Naturopathic doctor so you can get to the root cause of your headaches and eliminate the need for ibuprofen.
Turmeric, magnesium, Cortef, capsaicin, CBD oils.

Headaches can be due to various things such as allergies or sensitivities, dehydration, hormonal imbalance, and toxins. Finding the route cause of why your getting your headaches will help alleviate the number of episodes you have. Speak with a Naturopathic Physician who has been trained at an accredited school to give you better guidance for your health needs. But natural antiinflammatories that may help are curcumin, white willow bark, and ashwagandha
