Ellen Gould White über: "Causes of Headaches"
Answer
According to the available writings of Ellen G. White, headaches have various causes. The main causes include unhealthy habits such as self‑abuse, which “kills thousands and yet thousands,” as well as the consumption of stimulating beverages like tea and coffee. Inadequate clothing of the limbs can also cause headaches, because blood is driven to the head when the extremities are not kept properly warm. Additionally, digestive problems caused by overeating or improper meal times can affect the brain.
\n\nHeadaches caused by bad habits in youth
\n\n\n»In ninety‑nine out of one hundred cases, the uncovered cause would reveal to you that it was not only the strain of study that inflicted injury upon your children, but that their own false habits were gnawing at the brain and depriving the entire body of vital energy. Self‑abuse kills thousands and yet thousands.«
Headaches caused by tea and coffee consumption
\n\n\n»The habit of drinking tea and coffee is a greater evil than is often suspected. Many who have become accustomed to the use of stimulating drinks suffer from headaches and nervous exhaustion and lose much time because of illness.«
Headaches caused by inadequate clothing
\n\n\n»If the extremities, which are distant from the vital organs, are not properly clothed, the blood is driven to the head and causes headaches or nosebleeds.«
Headaches as a symptom of physical decline
\n\n\n»You hear numerous complaints about headaches, catarrh, dizziness, nervousness, pains in the shoulders and side, loss of appetite, pains in the back and limbs, sleepless, feverish nights, a feeling of fatigue in the morning, and great exhaustion after movement.«
