Printed in the 1850 edition’s “A List of the Principal Diseases” as “—— Head-ache” under “Nervous Complaints” (the dash stands for the heading above it, or its first word); shown here as “Nervous Complaints — Head-ache”.
Modern literature has not yet been searched for this heading’s claims: it comes only from the 1850 index and has no search words yet.
A note on the heading
Plain sense
Pain in the head, placed by the 1850 index among the nervous complaints.
What the entries treat
Two claims, both from the index alone: Lily of the Valley (page 105) and Plantain (page 224), with no sentence naming it. Culpeper’s headache sentences sit under Head — Ache (CND-0058), filed for their own words.
Today’s words
headache; migraine; tension headache — the modern term names the same thing.
How it reads today
Reads as it did; only the index’s filing of it under Nervous Complaints dates. Medicine sorts headaches by kind (tension, migraine, cluster) and by cause; two index names with no sentence give nothing to sort. The same complaint under the index’s other heading is CND-0058.

Old claims, quoted verbatim: not medical advice. A warning sits above the claims and never hides them; no warning does not mean safe, only that no source here has flagged the plant.
