According to David Buchholz, a professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and author of the book “Heal Your Headache: A 1-2-3 Program for Taking Charge of Your Pain”, headaches are natural but they are not necessary. We all know that he is right in saying that. Headaches can rob you of your time to work and enjoy life. In addition, although painkillers can give you a quick fix, they are not advisable. Use natural cures for your headache instead.
Isn’t it such a good feeling to be massaged? Yes it is, especially when you’re stressed out and your headache is really disturbing you. Have your partner massage your shoulder and neck muscles. It relieves you of the stress that may be probably causing your entire headache.
Hot compress can also be as effective as a massage. Wet a towel with warm water and gently place it around your neck. Since the nerves in your neck muscles are directly connected to the head, relieving it from tension will automatically lessen the pain. A warm bath will also do the trick.
If you don’t want a hot compress, that’s okay. There is always cold compress to act as substitute. Take your towel and dip it in cold water. After that, wrap the towel halfway around your neck. The coldness will numb the muscles on the area behind your head causing the pain to subside.
Your headache can be a result of many different things like lack of proper sleep, stress, anxiety and bad eating habits. You will notice that your head always aches each time you fail to get 8 hours of sleep. That is because your muscles were not able to get enough rest causing them to be overexerted. Eat and sleep properly if you want to avoid future occurrences of headaches.
If your headache still keeps on coming back after you have tried some of our natural home remedies, your next step would be to go and find a neurologist or a chiropractor. They will help you determine the probable cause of your recurring headaches by performing some test that has to do with the nerves on your head, neck and even on your spine. It is not easy on the pocket but that would probably make you feel better.
