A Few Ways to Chase a Headache Away
The best therapy for a headache is one that suits the malady that it comes with. Here are a few ways that work well for most headaches.
1. Stay hydrated. Drink a lot of water. Sometimes dehydration is the cause of headache and nausea accompanied with it.
2. Try and restrict the consumption of sugar. Though sugar in small quantities actually helps to cure headaches, excess sugar may trigger a headache or sometimes worsen an already existing one.
3. Apply peppermint oil on the forehead. It is known to open up the clogged blood vessels of the head. The smell of this oil is also pleasing. Get relaxed and request a friend or a family member to massage for 4 to 5 minutes. A stress related headache will vanish with a warm oil head massage accompanied
4. Avoid smoking as it can aggravate the headache.
5. Indulge in any activity you enjoy. Listen to music, go for a walk or cook as it keeps our mind and body fresh and alert.
6. Eat a nourishing small meal. A headache due to non-consumption of food for the past few hours leading to excessive acidity can be cured easily.
7. Have a warm water bath. This is a way to relieve stress related headache.
