10 Interesting Ways To Get Rid of Headaches!

As I have previously stating in another topic, my husbands dire need to find something that works for his headaches and migraines. We can across that headache balm but have yet to try making it because I do not have all the ingredients yet. But I have stumbled upon a few ways to get rid of headaches with simple things you may even have laying around your house.

1. Drink water...duh no brainer here. but seriously most headache can be cause from dehydration.
2. Give yourself a scalp massage or have someone do that for you! Research shows that massaging the optical nerve (which is toward to back of the head and base of your skull) can relieve headache pain.
3. Press that webbed area between your thumb and pointer finger. Lightly massage that spot before switching to the other hand, this helps relieve your headache.
4. Try stretching. Some headaches can be cause by muscle tension.
5. Eat some watermelon! Since some headaches can be triggered by dehydration, eating water rich foods can help hydrate you and ease your headache.
6. Massage peppermint oil on your temples, the back of your jaw and forehead. Peppermint oil has been known to help promote blood flow.
7. Breath deeply. When our bodies feel pain it tends to get stressed, which can help you relax and could help ease tension.
8. Drink a cup of coffee. Headaches are mostly cause by the expanding of the blood vessels. The caffeine from the coffee will help constrict the blood vessels back to their regular size.
9. Drink apple cider vinegar. Dilute 2 tablespoons of vinegar in a glass of water and add some honey or lemon juice to make it a little bit better tasting...LOL Apples and ACV helps restore the body's acid-alkaline balance which could help eleviate headaches.
10. Hold a pencil between you teeth. Don't gnaw on it!! LOL gently holding this between your teeth helps to activate your "smile" muscles which relaxes your jaw. Sometimes we tend to clench our teeth when we are stressed (i actually find myself doing this alot) and straining the muscles that connect the jaw to the temples can cause tension headaches.

I will definitely be trying some of these for my headaches as well as letting my husband know about these easier ways to get rid of headaches. I hope at least one of these will help us! LOL Then we can stop poisoning ourselves with medicines and treatments!

Hope you all enjoyed and as always thank you for reading!!
