Headaches come and go, but when it comes, it feels like an unwanted visitor that will never leave. Before you reach out for over-the-counter headache medicines, try these natural headache remedies first. This might banish headaches better without worrying about the chemicals you are introducing to your body:
Ice pack. Grab an ice pack and place it on the painful area. This generally could be the temples, the back or your neck, or your forehead. You might find more relief by putting an icepack on your forehead AND the back of your neck.
Relaxation. Most headaches are the result of stress, so try to take a nap or a walk to relax. I usually take a warm bath or Extress Natural Stress Remedy to get rid of the symptoms that go with stress. Rest in a dark and quiet room to release the tension that has gathered on your back, shoulders, and neck.
Massage. You can have someone give you a neck or back rub to soothe the headache away. Another trick that I’ve learned is to apply some steady, but gentle pressure using my index finger and thumb. Rotate your fingers for a few seconds keeping the pressure steady and release. Doing this with the Badger Organic Headache Balm works wonders for me. If money is not a problem, go and treat yourself to a professional massage.
Try these three natural headache remedies and you can ease yourself away from your dependency on over-the-counter headache medicines which could be harmful to your health or addictive.
