Why ? Well , what I'm about to describe is a compound or I should say a set of compounds that are available over the counter that have been shown to be very effective in reducing the frequency and intensity of headaches and not just one kind of headache but multiple types of headaches . So what I'll describe has been shown to have significant effects in reducing the intensity or frequency of tension type headaches , migraine type headaches as well as hormone type headaches that are related to the menstrual cycles that I described earlier .
And you can probably already guess what the general results of the study are going to be . The general results were that there were reductions in headaches . Ok .

Now , there are a lot of data centered around this general topic , but I'm gonna focus on three main papers .
And just very briefly . Earlier , I mentioned that not only has omega three fatty acid supplementation been shown to be effective in reducing the frequency and intensity of headache , intention type and migraine type headache . But it's also been shown to improve outcomes for premenstrual syndrome related headaches .
Uh There's no reason to think that Omega threes would not be beneficial for those types of headaches . But at least as far as the data sets we talked about here are concerned , it is clear Omega three fatty acids are going to be a very potent way to reduce pain and to reduce inflammation in ways that can reduce the frequency and the intensity of different kinds of headache .
