Generalized pain in the head

If the pain is not located at a specific point, but affects the whole head, with a feeling of discomfort and heaviness, it is usually due to high blood pressure or an overexertion (after spending many hours in front of the computer or studying, for example). In these cases, it is best to take an infusion of white hawthorn or hibiscus.
