"Headache: A Universal Affliction Throughout Time" In the night and morning, when our minds are at rest or just awakening, they can strike like a bolt of lightning. This coloured etching captures the torment we endure as we battle this relentless pain. From old adverts promoting Carter's Little Liver Pills to comic postcards depicting a man with a hangover sitting on his bed, headaches have been an age-old nuisance. Even Dr Williams' pink pills for pale people were once touted as a remedy for these throbbing sensations. Nature too has its own contributions to headache relief. The common arum and white and yellow flowered feverfew have long been used in herbal medicine to alleviate this tormenting ache. Symbolic photos of Ash Wednesday remind us that even during religious observances, they can persist. We may wonder if even the stork delivering new life could be plagued by such discomforts. Information leaflets warn us about signs of infectious complaints that may trigger these painful episodes, and is crucial to understand how our bodies react and seek appropriate care when needed. Advertisements for Cushmans Menthol Inhaler highlight one possible solution amidst this sea of suffering. Its soothing properties offer respite from the pounding agony that clouds our thoughts. As we navigate through time, it becomes evident that headaches transcend generations and cultures alike. They challenge our thought processes and hinder our daily lives with their unwelcome presence. So let us acknowledge the ubiquity of this affliction while seeking solace in remedies both ancient and modern – for only then can we hope to find relief from the persistent grip of a headache's grasp.
