MIGRAINE
Migraines
represent one of the most challenging types of headache
Migraines are essentially chronic and severe headaches that have a
vascular diagnosis. This means they are caused by neurological and blood
circulation problems. Migraines often spread across the upper face, including
the jaw and sinuses. Rather than using non-prescription painkillers that can be
highly addictive, it is better to use some more natural migraine remedies, such
as:
1. Eat to
Prevent Migraines
Try to break away from snacking incessantly and getting high on
sweetened, aerated drinks. These fast food items tend to hamper the harmony
across our body systems, often pushing us towardsailments like migraine Instead,
keep your body well hydrated and healthier my consuming lots of fruit juices, i.e.
the non-sugary variety, along with eating at regular intervals. Migraines can
be initiated due to sudden sugar spikes that are induced by cold drinks and
hunger pangs. Ensure that you don’t work under stressful conditions on an empty
stomach. Don’t punish your body with emotional eating like gobbling up cups of
puddings or ice creams. Choose your alcohol smartly. Stay away from pure
whiskeys and limit yourself to a few sips of a wine or rum. Food high in
preservatives and cholesterol contribute towards migraines while those that
keep you hydrated (like salads and fresh fruits) and are easy on the stomach
help to counter such health problems.
2. Rejuvenate Your Senses with a Bath
Migraines are often deep rooted in your psyche, arising out of
stress and unresolved anxiety. To relieve yourself of such stressful migraines,
plan a bath that helps to refresh your senses. Plan a longer steam bath or get
seated in a bathtub filled with lukewarm water. Light some scented candles and
add a few drops of scented oils like lavender oil to the water. This works at
par with aromatherapy. You will gradually feel the pain ease away and the
effect lasts for a few hours. Since this is a fully-natural remedy, you can use
it every alternate day to relax yourself.
3. Cold
Compresses Might Work
You can try some proven short-term remedies like using a cold
compress. Please note that if you tend to catch flu or allergic conditions like
rhinitis easily, don’t try this one. However, for others this can work rather
well, i.erelieve the headache for
a few hours. Use this when you are struck with an acute attack of migraine pain
and you don’t want to pop that pill again. A cold compress is just a hand towel
wrapped around a few ice cubes that you need to keep pressed against your
temple or on the top of your head.
4. Herbal Teas Can Relieve Migraines
The marketplace today seems overloaded with various types of
herbal teas. Seek those that have natural ingredients like ginger extracts,
peppermint, Tulsi and chamomile that are established remedies for relieving
anxiety and distressing your muscles. Stay away from coffee since caffeine
tends to raise the blood pressure that might worsen the migraine
5. Deep
Breathing & Stretching
Don’t wait for a migraine episode to hit you. Instead, prepare
your mind and body every day towards preventing migraine headaches. Stressed muscles of the eye, neck and shoulder are known to
contribute towards migraine. Stretch your neck and shoulder muscles at least
three times during the day, keep your back straight as much as possible and
ensure that you don’t keep staring at the computer screen. Take short breaks
from your work, where every two hours or so, you take at least 15 deep breaths
to relax yourself.
