Head Cold Remedies
There are countless headache cures and this is largely due to the fact that headaches are suffered by countless individuals. Research reveals that about 50 million people in America suffer from headaches each year that require medical attention. These sufferers will fork out about 500 million dollars on medication each and every year. But there is hope because there are plenty of headache cures that do not depend on medication. These are safe, natural and effective.
There are many different types of headaches but the two most common varieties are caused by tension in the muscles called a tension headache and the other involves the blood vessels to the head. Headaches are often a result of triggers or aggravating factors that can include eye stress, low blood sugar, poor posture, caffeine, allergies, sinusitis and fatigue. Headaches are also a symptom of more serious medical conditions in the body but this is a rare occurrence. A large majority of headaches are of the tension type.
Headache cures can come in many forms such as Chinese herbs, Indian Ayurveda and Aromatherapy. Each approach has the goal of getting rid of pain with natural ingredients. Below are some headache cures that are handy alternatives to medicine.
The Chinese have a history of natural remedies that fall under the umbrella of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This can include practices like acupuncture and herbal remedies. A popular herbal remedy approach is ginger. Ginger is commonly used for treating nausea and has powerful anti-inflammatory properties. It is also effective for headaches. Eating ginger by itself can be challenging so making a tea is usually the best choice.
Traditional medicine in India is called Ayurveda. It is a very interesting approach to health and healing the body. The headache cures recommended are soaking a cloth in warm mustard oil and then placing it on your forehead to help rid the headache. Another cure is putting coriander seeds in boiling water and then inhaling the steam. This one is very effective for sinus related headache problems.
Aromatherapy has plenty of solutions on offer for headache cures. Lavender is a great option for tension type headaches. The lavender oil can be massaged directly onto the temples or you can put two drops at the base of your nose. Peppermint oil can be used in a similar way to steam of the coriander seeds. A bath with some chamomile can also work wonders.
Here are some more headache cures. You can use herbal teas like chamomile, peppermint, rose hip to help soothe your tension headache. Another popular herbal headache cure for tension headaches is Valerian root. You can take supplements or drink Valerian root tea, but be aware that it can result in drowsiness.
The above headache cures will provide you with alternatives to medication. The added benefit of being cost effective and not having any unpleasant side effects cannot be beat. So next time you are suffering a headache and thinking of popping a pill, think again and try out one of these.

Cheers doc….not sure on that little goatie beard tho man??
Sinus headaches are usually associated with a constant level of pain in the forehead, cheekbones or the bridge of the nose, where the sinuses, air-filled cavities, are found. Moving the head suddenly, generally causes more pain to these areas. Along with the sinus headache, there are usually other symptoms such as fever, nasal discharge, and a feeling of fullness in the ears.
Only a doctor can diagnose whether your headache is in fact caused by sinus problems, and your doctor may recommend a CT scan or an MRI along with a physical exam to see if your sinuses are blocked and whether this is causing your health problems.
If as part of your sinus problem you have a post nasal drip that causes a tickle in your throat at night, or allows mucus to collect at the back of your throat while you are lying down, you might want to consider raising the head of your bed a little to lessen this occurrence.
The way to treat sinus headaches is generally to treat the symptoms. Antibiotics may be prescribed for the infection, or your doctor may suggest decongestants for you to take. Pain killers are also used to treat sinus infections. However, if the pain continues despite the use of painkillers, then it may be necessary to take corticosteroids to reduce the inflammation.
In some cases, allergies cause sinus congestion which in turn leads to a sinus headache. In this case, it may be necessary to take antihistamines to reduce the symptoms that the allergies are causing, but be aware that this will not stop a sinus headache. You may have to take something else to relieve those symptoms. Again, you should talk to your doctor to find out what is the best thing for you to do in these circumstances.
Now, decongestant medications may be used to help relieve the headaches associated with sinus infections. These drugs work by constricting the blood vessels that cause the headache pain, but do be aware that decongestants can be habit forming.
If you are having many headaches, sinus related or not, make sure you go to see your doctor, and give him or her all the details to help him or her decide what your best course of treatment is for these headaches. And remember to get plenty of rest, eat a good healthy diet, and exercise regularly too.
