Wouldn't you like to know what can help ease that pounding headache or migraine of yours? Well I have some easy ways that can help.
Everyone always says "take some ibuprofen or Tylenol" it's like, I don't want to take medicine, I want to get it to go away without the drugs. Well that's how I am at least.
Many tips have been passed down through generations and some work for many people but as well as some tips may not help certain people. In my case, there are a lot of things that will not take away my headaches. Now I will share with you my opinion and things that have helped others. Like...
°Lay down in a dark and quiet room for a little and get yourself to stop thinking and just clear your head and take deep breathes.
°Lay a wet and possibly even warm tag on your forehead and lay down in a dark and quiet room.
°Make sure you are drinking lots of water.
°If you're stressed, which in a lot of cases can cause your headaches and migraines, then take a few minutes to relax and clear your head.
°I find that some sort of mint can help. Not artificial mint but pretty close to real mint flavor.
°I have heard from others that gatorade helps
°Caffeine; but in my situation this does not help, like soda.
° Rubbing your temples softly.
°Rubbing the back of your neck on each side of your spine, you'll feel two little bumps and they will be sore but I find that it helps.
° Pushing on pressure points on your hands.
Locations: The webbed part of your hand between your thumb and your pointer finger.
°Pushing on pressure points on your head with two fingers.
Locations: in the middle of your forehead.
Then a little lower than that, between the eyebrows.
And then in the indented part of the top of your eye socket, just below the pressure point between the eyebrows.
°Don't eat food that you know is a trigger for you.
If you would like to know some over-the-counter drugs the follow would be..
°Excedrin migraine. It is a caffeine pill and I would recommend only taking 1. It has helped me the most with my headaches.
°Tylenol
°Ibuprofen, but make sure you've eaten something first.
These are just a few that have helped me. Now all this may not help everyone, but give it a try. If you find something else that isn't on this list that helps then please feel free to share your ideas! I would love to hear them!
