“The most common causes of headaches are constipation and liver malfunction,” says Eve Campanelli, Ph.D., a holistic family practitioner in Beverly Hills, California. For those prone to headaches, Dr. Campanelli recommends twice-daily doses of apple-spinach juice for its gentle laxative qualities. “Mix one ounce of spinach juice into eight ounces of apple juice, and you’ll never taste the spinach,” she promises.
Once constipation has been cleared up, Dr. Campanelli advises getting the liver moving with a blend of 8 ounces of carrot juice, 1 ounce of beet juice, 4 ounces of celery juice and ½ to 1 ounce of parsley juice. “Drinking this juice once or twice a day helps the liver filter out toxins more effectively, resulting in fewer headaches,” explains Dr. Campanelli. See your doctor if your headaches persist, she adds.
