Headache Relief

Headaches are the worst. If you suffer from regular headaches or migraines, it’s important to go seek medical advice from your doctor. There are a few methods to help relieve headache pain other than over-the-counter medication. A few involve minor (and perhaps obvious) lifestyle changes. In fact, most of these suggestions will improve one’s quality of life in general as well as help to limit the occurrence and painfulness of headaches.

Eating healthy – It’s not all about what you put in your body but also not skipping meals and drinking plenty of water throughout each day.

Exercising – Regular exercise releases certain chemicals in your body that can assist in alleviating headache pain. The trick is to listen to your body. Some types of vigorous exercise can trigger some headaches.

Sleeping – Getting enough sleep is crucial for all aspects of your life. Relax before going to bed and try to maintain the same sleep schedule ever day of the week.

Limiting caffeine – Some amount of caffeine can help limit the onset of headaches. However, too much caffeine can trigger headaches and increase irritability. Don’t be irritable.

Home Remedies for treating headaches include: Applying an ice pack on the painful area(s) of your head; resting in a quiet, dark room; taking a warm bath/shower; and rubbing your neck and back (or simply getting a massage). Controlling your level of stress is often another great way of limiting your headaches.
