Advancement in technology brings with it a set of health problems and ailments that never existed before. With more and more people spending long hours in front of the computer, there is an increase in the number of people suffering from headaches and migraines on a regular basis. If you are in the same boat as millions of people around the world, then these headache remedies will help you get rid of your pain and suffering once and for all.
Ice towel
If you have ice cubes at home, wrap them in a towel and keep the towel on your head till your headache subsides. Alternatively, you can place the towel on your neck. This will also help in reducing your headache. If there are no ice cubes at home, you can place a wet towel in the freezer for about five minutes. Once the towel becomes cold, place it either on your head or your neck to ease the pain.
Head and neck massage
Head and neck massage has proven effective in reducing headache and alleviating migraines, provided there is someone in your home to press your head and neck. Switch off the lights in your room and make yourself comfortable. Get your family member to apply massage oil on your head and neck and gently massage the area with the thumb and forefinger.
Foot bath
Another great remedy for headaches is foot bath. Take a bucket of warm water and add a few teaspoons of mustard powder. The warm water will help in redistributing the blood from your head to the rest of the body. It helps in the circulation of blood, which is important in reducing your headache. Mustard powder contains essential oils which stimulate the skin and divert your attention from the throbbing headache.
