How To Get Rid Of Headache
Headaches can be annoying and a severe headache may even
stop you from being able to function properly. Headaches
are common and can occur to anyone. Unless a headache is
chronic it is usually not serious. Although there are many
over the counter headache relief medications, they are not
without side effects and should not be taken too often.
Instead, one should seek natural ways to get rid of a
headache. A natural headache remedy works just as good as
traditional medications, minus the side effects.
Many headaches are brought on by dehydration. Rehydrating
the system will often be enough to ease a headache. It is
important to consume plenty of water everyday. As soon as
you feel the onset of a headache, drink some water or
juice. Avoid caffeinated beverages like tea, coffee, soft
drinks and chocolate.
Too much eyestrain may bring on a headache. If you use the
computer a lot, you should take regular breaks. Once a
headache starts, try taking a five-minute break by closing
your eyes. You may want to apply a cool compress on the
forehead. This may ease the headache by regulating blood
flow to the head. Keep re-applying the cool compress as
needed.
Stress is a common cause of headache. If your headache is
brought on by stress, you should learn to de-stress. One
way is through meditation. Sit in a quiet room to meditate.
Focus on your breathing and when your thoughts wander,
bring your awareness back to the present. Through practice
you can train yourself to meditate anywhere and any time.
Movement may make a headache worse but if the headache is
stress related, exercise may help. If you don't feel like
moving, try a gentle exercise such as yoga. Simple yoga
stretching and breathing techniques can even be done at
your desk while at work.
Acupressure uses applied pressure onto points on the body
to help eliminate pain. For a headache, apply pressure to
each side of the temple using your thumbs. Slowly increase
the pressure. Then slowly rub your thumbs in small circles.
Do this for 5 minutes. There are some herbal cures for
headaches that work very well. These are usually better
than prescription or over the counter medications because
they do not have any side effects.
Feverfew – Feverfew contains substances that inhibit the
release of mood hormones in the brain. For best results,
use fresh feverfew. If this is not available, consume
feverfew as tea or in capsule form.
Bay – There have been some doctors who recommend taking
feverfew with bay to prevent a headache. You can find this
combination available at most health food stores.
Ginger – Ginger has long been known to relieve and prevent
headaches. It is an anti-inflammatory and contains
substances that provide natural headache relief. Take in
capsule form, according to directions.
Peppermint – Taken internally or used externally,
peppermint is a natural headache remedy. To take
internally, drink peppermint tea. To use externally, mix
several drops of peppermint oil with lotion or body oil and
massage into the temples.
Try these natural headache remedies to find the combination
that can get rid of your headache quickly and naturally. If
you suffer from chronic headache, you should consult with
your doctor to rule out any underlying problem that
requires medical attention.
