Hey all you clusterheads, just ran across a little deal you might want to try.
A little history: I was chronic for fifteen years, started lithium and verapamil and have been doing fairly well with O2 and Imitrex Inj. as a backup. Now I am going through the spring / fall cycle most clusterheads are used to. Usually these start as shadows but grow quickly into a full blown cluster. I gave up on over the counter pain stuff long ago but the other day my wife and I were at a Thai restaurant and here we go, started getting a strong shadow.
Not wanting to ruin the evening I asked her for a couple of ibuprofen tabs, within a minute or two they served us some GREEN ASIAN TEA you get at a lot of Asian restaurants. Ten minuets latter I was back to normal
You now how clusters are, you never now for sure, but I have repeated this seven times as of today and my shadows disappeared within ten minuets every time and no cluster headache appears. Maybe I am just lucky or maybe there is something in that tea coupled with the ibuprofen or maybe the tea works all on its own, I’m not sure.
You can do a search and read all about the healing powers this tea is famous for,
This stuff tastes terrible but if it works? Well what do 500 million Chinese know?
Hope this may help someone out,
Lee

I don't think green tea tastes terrible - but I am not sure if I ever tried it in cycle. I will pay attention next time.
I do know tea is a great help during migraines... but them's a different kettle of tea.

I intake alot of the Asian teas and esp like the Oolong b/c it helps with my anxiety and when it's not bad it can actually take the place of downers.
The problem I find is the relaxing qualities I get from the tea. Normally this is a beautiful thing, but to relax in any way with clusters causes an attack for me.
But then again there is no reason to assume this would happen to others.
Just thought I'd put in a little of the other side.
I miss my tea.

I can't say that I have noticed any difference in CH when drinking green tea, and this has been a beverage of choice off and on for the past 4 years. Green tea is rich in some anti-inflammitory stuffs, so maybe it helps some people. Can't hurt as long as you avoid palpitations and anxiety that are possible with too much tea.
