Natural Ways to Relieve Migraines and Headaches
Migraines effect a huge part of the population, but there are natural ways to relieve migraines.
10% of people are diagnosed with them and another 5% suffer but are not diagnosed.
Migraines can range from no pain to a lot of pain.
What surprised me was the no pain part, the fact that you can be suffering a migraine but not feel pain.
Anyhow, with so many people suffering from migraines, there are a lot of options out there for sufferers.
Everyone knows about going to the doctor's office to get a prescription, or even trying to take Tylenol.
Excedrin migraine seems to be popular as well.
However there are things you can do at home with out chemicals (which are in the previous mentioned drugs) to get rid of and sometimes prevent migraines.
The first is the simplest of all the treatments, it is applying hot or cold clothes to your head.
This is a little tricky in that for some it is hot that is better and for others it is cold that is, but the good news is that once you know which helps you, it is consistently the same.
Trigger avoidance is another treatment of sorts you can use, keep a journal of what you eat, and exercising you do, among other activities, and you will be able to notice what you are doing prior to getting your migraines that might trigger them.
Foods are very common for this.
Most importantly regular meals, moderation of caffeine and alcohol and regular amounts of sleep, can help in avoidance of migraines.
Physical Therapy- Doctors have agreed that regular exercising will help to avoid migraines, decrease the intensity and frequency of the occurrences.
If you decide to also get massages it is a good idea to start with a small amount.
Chiropractics- Even for people who do not get migraines, chiropractics is important and can help in a number of ways, but as far as migraines, getting regular adjustments will decrease how often you get migraines and make them less intense.
Herbs and Natural supplements can also be helpful, as well as getting your eyes checked regularly, and for some even sexual activity.
Many other alternative ways can be found by searching online, but these that I have listed seem to be the most common.
However I have listed below different resources to help you find other ways of relief.
