Hyland’s Headache is a traditional homeopathic formula for the relief of symptoms of head pain due to stress and sick or nervous headache, according to its webpage. This herbal remedy is manufactured by Hyland’s, a Los Angeles pharmaceutical company founded in 1903. The company develops and produces a large product line that spans more than 3,500 natural supplements for many different ailments.

Hyland’s sells its products via many of their retailers but we were unable to find any Money Back Guarantee option or trial samples for this supplement.

The company claims Hyland’s Headache stimulates healing, leading to a faster decrease in pain intensity. The product is recommended for people that often develop headaches due to stress, being sick or having to concentrate for long periods of time. It is suggested that people that suffer from migraines can also benefit from this formulation.

Hyland’s Headache Ingredients

Hyland’s Headache contains: Iris Versicolor 3X HPUS, Gelsemium Sempervirens 3X HPUS, Ipecac 3X HPUS, and Belladonna 6X HPUS (In a Base of Lactose, USP).

Product Features

Hyland’s Headache contains several natural herbal extracts but we have found two of these extracts as being particularly interesting.

Iris Versicolor can be used to treat goiters, eczema and syphilis. However, it may be toxic for humans, even in very small amounts. According to the producing company, Iris Versicolor was added into the formula due to its helpful properties in treating neuralgia occurring in the morning, beginning around the eyes and eventually involving the whole face, useful in frontal headaches with nausea.

The second ingredient is Belladonna. Many people may recognize this herb as a classic poison (it has been used in the past due to its toxic properties). Its deadly character is due to the presence of Atropine (an alkaloid). However, according to some recent studies, Belladonna may be useful in the treatment of eye diseases.

It is not uncommon for homeopathic remedies to include ingredients that are otherwise considered harmful, this working according to the principle of “like cures like”. These substances are normally added in very small amounts, to ensure that they do not have negative effects on customers. Caution is still advised, however, seeing as children and pregnant women could suffer drawbacks from such products.

The recommended dosage for adults is 2-3 tables every four hours, or as needed. Due to the content of Belladona and Iris Versicolor, it is strongly recommended avoiding going above the suggested dosage.

Conclusion

We believe the company’s statements are too bold as we were unable to find any studies or test to support their claims. According to its makers, Hyland’s Headache is intended to provide relief of headaches on the left and right side of the head that extend to the neck for people who report the association of stress with physical pain, illness and strain.

This product is a mixture of herbal remedies, some of the ingredients being well known for their beneficial properties. However, the supplement also contains several ingredients with powerful poisonous qualities of which background wasn’t fully researched or understood.

Review History

(Published on: November 4, 2011 3:17 am)

Hyland’s Headache comes in the form of tablets mainly consisting of Iris Versicolor, Gelsemium Sempervirens, Ipecacuanha and Belladona. All these plants are known to naturally act on the brain, calming migraines and headaches. The manufacturer mentions as a plus the fact that Hyland’s Headache is free of caffeine, acetaminophen and aspirin, substances that are usually present in drugs prescribed for treating headaches. In addition to migraines, the drug is also prescribed for symptoms such as nausea or stress.

Is Hyland’s Headache Right For You?

Hyland’s was founded in 1903 as a Los Angeles pharmacy, basing all of their products around homeopathy. They manufacture and produce an extensive product line that spans 3,500 “natural” supplements for many different ailments. They list a toll-free number on their official website and have their email address listed also. If you have questions about any of their products, you can just contact them, and they’ll respond as quickly as possible. For general information and catalog requests, you can email them or telephone the toll-free at 1-800-624-9659. Their opening hours are 8:00 am – 5:00 pm (Pacific Time) from Monday to Friday.

While the website does list lots of information on the tradition and mission of the company, we were not able to find any such information on their returns policy or money back guarantee, if such a policy exists. As this is critical for consumers, we would request any information from Hyland’s if they would like us to update this editorial.

Hyland’s Headache claims to be “a traditional homeopathic formula for the relief of symptoms of head pain due to stress and sick or a nervous headache”. The product is sold via many of their retailer websites but does not appear to have a Money Back Guarantee.

Ingredients of Hyland’s Headache

Hyland’s Headache includes the following ingredients: Iris versicolor, Gelsemium semp, Ipecacuanha, Belladonna in a base of lactose (milk sugar).

Effectiveness of Hyland’s Headache

Hyland’s Headache “stimulates your body’s natural healing response to relieve symptoms,” according to the product description. And according to one website where the product is sold, “Iris vers – helpful for neuralgia occurring in the morning, beginning around the eyes and eventually involving the whole face, useful in frontal headaches with nausea. Gelsemium – relieves a headache accompanied by sore neck and shoulders. Ipecac – for symptoms when bones of the skill feel crushed or bruised. Pain extends to teeth and root of the tongue. Belladonna – for right sided throbbing headaches, sometimes similar to a migraine.” However, we could not find sufficient evidence to support how this is done or how effective it has been in trials.

Hyland’s Headache is marketed as a traditional homeopathic formula for the relief of symptoms of head pain due to stress and sick or a nervous headache. They state in the product description that the pain may be either right or left sided and may extend to the base of the neck. This is a common form of a headache that people seek treatment for, so it is apparently targeting such symptoms.

Hyland’s Headache Price

Nature’s Way products are all sold via either online or offline retailers so that the price can vary to some degree. The online price is about $8.99 a bottle (available in bottles of 100 quick dissolving tablets), but you may find them online for less, depending on special offers made.

The US shipping rates depend on the online store that you purchase from and the deal that they offer you. Some offer free shipping. If you live near a store, then you can buy them from there. There is a store locator on the website.
