Top 12 Natural Cures for Headaches

1. Deep massage…is our favorite way. Massage therapy sessions can relieve tension and stress. When we give a nice deep massage on the upper back, neck, face and head our clients sigh with relief. Many massage therapists will come to your home. So look around.
2. Drink water…seriously this is the best. So many times we forget to drink and we are dehydrated. A large glass of cool water can get rid of symptoms fast and is a great headache cure and is on our list of easy home remedies.
3. Peppermint oil..we have used for years and is on our favorite list for natural cures for headaches. We dab a small amount on our temples and it really works. Make sure it is pure essential oil and not fragrance oil. You might be pleasantly surprised when your headache is cured.
4. Use heat…by trying a hot shower or a moist heating pad on your neck and back. Stand in the shower and let hot water hit your neck and back. It increases your circulation and loosens muscles. It is a great relaxation technique.
5. Ice packs can also be an excellent cure if heat doesn’t work. Use a pack, a frozen towel or a bag of frozen peas. Place the ice pack on the area of pain for 10-20 minutes. It helps to reduce inflammation and numbs the pain.
6. Guided Imagery… meditations to reduce stress is another favorite home remedy of ours. Dr. Andrew Weil has some great CDs to will your pain far, far away.
7. Self massage…is awesome and an easy headache cure you can do as a home remedy. Find the area of the pain and use the fleshy part of your thumb or index finger and apply pressure for the count of 30. Release and repeat several times until the pain subsides.
8. Relaxation…is a nice way to take care of yourself. Maybe you are stressed and overworked. Try lying down in a dark and quiet room. Close your eyes and take 10 deep breaths. Repeat until you are feeling relaxed and stress free.
9. Diet…has a huge part in causing headaches. Explore this website and you will see how much food, chemicals and other allergens can affect our pain. It is important to monitor what you eat and keep a diary to see if anything that you are eating is causing an episode.
10. Calcium and Magnesium supplements…can help to relax your muscles which can then help with your pain. It might not cure your headache but it can help .
11. Yoga…is a great way to stretch away tight and painful muscles that might be causing your attacks. Find a good yoga teacher in your area that pays attention to his or her students.
12. Exercise…can also help if your episode isn’t too bad. This is more a preventative measure than a cure. Exercise helps keep us healthy, strong and full of oxygen. You can’t go wrong here.

We hope you enjoy these natural cures for headaches that we use every day. They continue to help us with our own pain as well as our clients’! Enjoy!
