licorice root

Treatment for Cluster Headache

Licorice root contains glycyrrhizic acid, which exhibits anti-inflammatory and cortisol-modulating properties that may help mitigate the neurogenic inflammation associated with cluster headaches. Its potential therapeutic effect involves inhibiting prostaglandin production and reducing neuronal sensitization, potentially offering symptomatic relief by modulating pain pathways and inflammatory responses.
