Some Good Headache Remedies
My mom was never a health care professional but you know how moms can develop medical knowledge over time that no doctor can seem to get a handle on. My mom once told me that the best headache remedies are the ones that eliminate the source of the headache - the next day my dad was packing and leaving the house.
But those sorts of headache remedies don't always work for every occasion and the most effective headache remedies are the ones that seem so simple that they cannot possible work - but yet they do. If you get headaches and you need quick headache remedies then trying anything once will not kill you, it may even help you. So lend an ear to some really basic, yet strangely effective, headache remedies.
First and Foremost
If you experience frequent headaches, whether they are severe or not, get to your doctor immediately. If you are experiencing two or more headaches a week then that could be the sign of bigger problems so do not engage in any traditional headache remedies and get to your doctor right away. Many people ignore headaches as just a simple inconvenience but recurring headaches could be the sign of something more serious like the potential for brain tumors so do not let a persistent headache become a larger problem; get to your doctor immediately.
Also if you have migraine headaches regularly, these are very painful recurring headaches, then too get to your doctor immediately for prescribed treatment. These headache remedies are not going to help migraines. These headache remedies are more for tension headaches and stress headaches.
Shhh!
One of the reasons we get headaches is an overload of external stimulus otherwise known as too much stuff going on around us. Tension headaches can come about from too much stress in our lives causing our muscles to tense up. Stress headaches can come from constantly worrying about things or staring at something for too long like a computer screen.
For this, one of the things you can do is get to a quiet room and just relax. Close out the world, maybe put a warm moist towel over your eyes, and just close the door. Of course if you are going to do this and then reintroduce yourself back into the stressful situation then expect more headaches. But now you know one way of getting rid of them.
Stop the Sugar
Sugar rushes are real and headaches from too much sugar are real as well. It may seem like the simplest thing in the world but if you have gotten into the routine of eating a lot of sugar during the day then that may be your source of headaches. Cut back on your sugar intake and see if that helps.
