@alexgoldman2 Glad to hear it is helping somewhat for your headache. The same is true for me. When I drink the tea as soon as I start to feel the headache coming on, the headache disappears. But after the headache is full blown, the tea helps to decrease the pain slightly. Better to drink the tea even if you get s false signal. The tea won’t hurt to drink otherwise. I would rather drink the tea to be safe than sorry. What is the reasoning for the MRI? Do the physicians not expect the headaches? Hopefully, soon you will get more answers. The headaches for me were expected. It is part of the healing process I was told. Luckily for me the headaches have decreased over the years in occurrence. I have purchased a manual treadmill so I can exercise more often. Perhaps more exercise will expedite the healing process. Exercise can be a big help with our health overall regardless. I will find out in the next few months if it helps with the headaches. All along from the beginning of my AVM I have kept active regardless of how difficult it became because of the dizziness and headaches. I can certainly say I made significant progress. Initially I was not able to walk at all( I was in a wheelchair) but now I am able to walk on leveled surfaces without a device. I learned to use a quad cane for unleveled surfaces such as the graveled driveway and lawn. Take care of yourself. Thanks for sharing your positive experience with the tea. Toni
