Headaches are one of the most common ailments that practically everyone gets, some more regularly than others. In fact, around seven in 10 people get at least one headache every year. A headache is a pain or discomfort that is felt in the head, scalp or neck. It can be mild, or severe enough to disrupt everyday activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many things that cause headaches. Primary causes are those that are not associated with another medical condition, but are due to an underlying process in the brain. Common types of primary headaches include migraine, tension headaches, and cluster headaches. On the other hand, secondary causes are those that are the result of a separate medical condition. Some examples of secondary causes are sinus headache, spinal headache, post-traumatic headache, medication overuse headaches, and even brain tumor or brain aneurysm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because headaches might be something you have experienced many times without giving much thought to, you might be surprised to learn that there are over 150 types. Fortunately, most occurences of headaches can easily be treated or managed with medication or changes in your lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you find yourself prone to headaches, check out these alternative remedies you could try to treat or prevent them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Cold or Hot Compress<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might remember being treated with cold or hot compresses as a child. These are common home remedies parents use on their children to relieve different kinds of pain and soreness. Thus, you might already be familiar with using these for your headaches. Cold compresses can have a numbing effect and can dull pain, while hot compresses can relax tense muscles. A cold or hot shower may have similar effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While people with migraine headaches usually prefer cold packs and those with tension headaches often prefer hot, you may choose whichever you feel works best for you. If you opt for a cold compress, apply it on your forehead or temples. If you decide to use a hot pack, put it on your neck or on the back of your head. Just make sure that your hot pack or compress isn’t too hot because this may cause burns or muscle spasms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2. Regular, Restful Sleep<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sleep problems such as lack of sleep and oversleeping are common triggers for headaches. Among the sleep disorders that are linked to chronic headaches are insomnia, snoring, sleep apnea, and teeth grinding. These problems most often lead to wake-up headache, hypnic headache, and cluster headache. Getting quality sleep regularly can reduce the occurrences of headaches. Try to establish a sleep routine that will give you enough rest for around seven to eight hours every night. You may need to make small changes in your lifestyle to be able to lay down a regular sleeping schedule. But it can make a world of difference in what might be a chronic problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

3. Essential Oils<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Healthline<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Essential oils have been gaining popularity as a natural method for treating various ailments. These highly concentrated oils are made from different parts of herbs, spices, and other plants. They may be taken from the leaves, flowers, roots, barks, or stems. Certain essential oils are effective in soothing headaches. These may be used in aromatherapy, though some may be applied topically. Just remember that you should never apply an essential oil directly to the skin. It should first be diluted in a carrier oil such as olive oil, sweet almond oil, coconut oil, or jojoba oil. Just add around five drops of essential oil to one ounce of carrier oil before using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peppermint oil is one of the most popularly used essential oils to provide headache relief. The menthol it contains helps in relieving pain. You can try massaging a small amount of diluted oil to your temples. Other essential oils that could help ease your headache include rosemary oil, lavender oil, chamomile oil, and eucalyptus oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

4. Keep Hydrated<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Healthline<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t get enough water, you may suffer from dehydration headaches. The symptoms of this type of headache are usually similar to those of other commonly occurring headaches. It may feel like a hangover headache, which is a throbbing ache on both sides of the head that gets worse when engaging in physical activity. Even just moving your head or bending over can make your headache feel worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your headache has a high chance of being caused by dehydration if you also experience other symptoms such as thirst, a dry mouth, dark yellow urine, or less urination. If such is the case, drink a couple glasses of water, and your headache may be relieved within three hours after drinking. Getting enough water regularly can also go a long way in preventing headaches. What’s more, it can improve your overall health as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

5. Caffeine<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Verywell Mind<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to headaches, caffeine can be a double-edged sword. It can help reduce inflammation, bringing relief to headaches. It is actually an ingredient that is popularly used in pain relievers. It can increase the effectiveness of these medications by as much as 40 percent, and make their effects last longer. Even caffeine alone can possibly soothe your headache. This is more reason to enjoy your daily cup of joe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, when you are used to having caffeine in your system, cutting it off can lead to withdrawal. One of the symptoms of withdrawal is headache. So if you are a regular coffee or tea drinker and want to cut your consumption down, make sure to do so gradually to avoid going through withdrawal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

6. Reducing Alcohol Intake<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Electro Wow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you suffer from migraine headaches, you may already know that alcohol can sometimes trigger them. It isn’t clear yet exactly why this is. However, alcohol contains histamine and pushes your body to produce more, in turn increasing inflammation throughout your body. Alcohol also contains the chemical ethanol, which can trigger a migraine. This chemical is also a natural diuretic, which means it causes you to urinate more than usual. This could lead to dehydration, which may cause headaches. If you find that you are sensitive to alcohol, it would be wise to reduce or totally avoid consumption. But if you choose to enjoy an occasional drink, make sure to drink a lot of water to avoid dehydration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

7. Avoiding Strong Odors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Well-Being Secrets<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Strong odors are one of the triggers of headaches, particularly to those who are predisposed to migraines. This is especially true if you have osmophobia, which is an intolerance or a high sensitivity to smells. When your headache is triggered by odors, it is usually accompanied by nausea. You are more likely to get migraine from odors if you are exposed to them for more than 15 minutes at a time, or if you are in a closed space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid strong odors if you are sensitive to smells or find that they cause your headaches. Try to identify which specific smells you are sensitive to. Also, when you are exposed to any of these, try to get some fresh air if you can. Some of the most common odors that trigger migraines are cigarette smoke, car exhaust, cleaning products, nail polish, pesticides, and even perfume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

8. Ginger<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Women’s Health<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ginger is widely used for its numerous health benefits. It is best known for its soothing effects on nausea, indigestion, and stomach troubles. Because this spicy root has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, it can also relieve symptoms of headache and migraine. It is especially effective if your headache is accompanied by feelings of nausea or vomiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studies have shown that it is most effective for treating headaches in the form of capsules and gels. However, taking ginger in other forms may also help. You could massage a few drops of diluted ginger oil on your temples, or inhale its aroma from a steam diffuser. Sucking on a lozenge may help, especially if you are also experiencing nausea. You could also try drinking ginger ale or ginger tea, or adding ginger to your meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

9. Exercise<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Forbes<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Exercising allows the body to release endorphins, which are hormones that reduce pain and boost pleasure. They are known as the body’s natural painkillers. Exercise can also reduce stress and help with sleep problems. Both stress and lack of sleep (or too much sleep) can trigger headaches. Getting regular exercise can lower your chances of getting headaches, and lessen the intensity of migraines. However, exercise can sometimes trigger migraines. This doesn’t mean that you should avoid exercise altogether. What you need is to have an exercise plan to prevent getting headaches while exercising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step you could take is to make sure you’re well-hydrated before, during and after you exercise. Second, eat a sufficient amount of food about one hour and a half before you exercise to ensure you have enough energy, and to prevent your blood sugar level from dropping. Finally, don’t forget to warm up before you begin more intense exercise. You could do this by stretching, jogging, or walking slowly for a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

10. Yoga<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

Not only does yoga provide physical fitness, it can also relieve symptoms of ailments such as anxiety, depression, and pain. It can be a natural and healthy way to ease a headache. The practice has the ability to boost your circulation, relieve tension, release stress, and calm your mind. Certain yoga poses can target some of the causes of your headaches. These help release tension in areas of your body that may be causing your headache. If you have never tried yoga, this might give you even more reason to join a class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

11. Acupuncture<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that involves the insertion of thin needles into certain points of the body. Studies have shown that acupuncture may be an effective form of treatment for those who suffer from chronic headaches. Inserting needles into the pressure points that stimulate your immune and circulatory system may relieve migraine and tension headaches. While the prospect of inserting needles might seem painful, there shouldn’t be any pain involved aside from tiny pricks when done properly. As long as it is conducted by a licensed practitioner using sterile equipment, acupuncture comes with little risk beyond bruising, soreness, and fatigue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

12. Sexy Time<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Healthline<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Having a headache might not put you in the mood for some sexy time. But as it turns out, it might be just what you need to get rid of your headache. Studies have revealed that having sex during a migraine attack can improve symptoms of the headache. While one theory states that the act may just be a distraction from the pain, there might be more to that. Sex, or an orgasm in particular, can release endorphins, which are hormones that help relieve pain. The advantage of these natural chemicals over pain medication is that they work much more quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the downside, sexual activity is also known to trigger headaches, and in fact is a type of headache in its own right. A dull ache may start building up as you get more sexually excited, or a headache may suddenly come upon you right before or during orgasm. This type of headache typically lasts for at least a few minutes. However, if you are already suffering from a headache, a little time between the sheets with your partner just might be worth exploring!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

13. Elimination Diet<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

If you suffer from migraines or you find yourself getting headaches regularly, you might be eating certain foods or drinks that trigger them. One way to figure out what might be causing your migraines is to do an elimination diet. This method would take time and does not guarantee that you would be able to pinpoint the culprit, but if you do manage to find it, it could go a long way in preventing future headaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do an elimination diet, you have to first figure out what foods and drinks in your diet are typical migraine triggers. You would then cut these out from your meals and snacks, then gradually add them back one by one. If your headache returns after reintroducing one of these, you may be able to identify which food or drink has been triggering your migraine. Some examples of foods that commonly cause migraines are chocolate, nuts, alcohol, cheese, and dairy products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

14. Magnesium<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
WebMD<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Magnesium is an important mineral that plays a crucial role in the body’s function. It regulates blood pressure, maintains the strength of our bones, and keeps our heart rhythm steady. Low levels of magnesium in our body could bring about symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, muscle contractions, muscle cramping, tingling, and loss of appetite. It is also associated with headaches and migraines. Studies have shown that people who suffer from migraines usually have low levels of magnesium. Regular intake of the mineral has been found to reduce episodes of migraine by a significant percentage. It appears to be particularly effective in the prevention of migraines related to menstruation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magnesium can be used as a remedy to treat migraines or to prevent them. Magnesium oxide is most frequently used for this. It is available in pill form, and is usually recommended at a dosage of 400 to 500 mg per day. Magnesium may also be given through intravenous means in the form of magnesium sulfate. If you prefer to take magnesium more naturally, you could also get it from foods that are rich in this mineral. Examples of these foods are dark leafy greens, seeds, almonds, black beans, lentils, avocados, bananas, figs, mackerel, tuna, low-fat yogurt, and dark chocolate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

15. Vitamin B Complex<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

If you feel that you are getting headaches on a frequent basis, it may be a sign that you might be lacking in some kind of nutrition that your body needs. One of the deficiencies that have been linked to migraine headaches is a deficiency in vitamin B complex. All of the B vitamins can protect you from headaches, but vitamin B2, or riboflavin, seems to play the biggest role. Taking a B2 vitamin supplement or eating foods rich in riboflavin can help in headache prevention. Examples of these foods include eggs, organ meats, lean meats, milk, green vegetables, grains, and cereals. If you prefer to increase your intake of all of the B vitamins, you could find a vitamin B complex supplement that contains them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

16. Coenzyme Q10 Supplements<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
BuyWell<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Coenzyme Q10, or CoQ10, is a compound that produces energy in your cells. Although it is naturally produced by your body, this decreases as you get older. You could also get it through supplements or foods. CoQ10 has many health benefits, and one of these is preventing episodic migraines (or getting headaches less than 15 days in a single month). It is also less likely to cause side effects compared to prescription medications. Still, it would be better if you could first consult with your doctor to get the right dosage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

17. Reducing Histamine Intake<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Conasis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Histamine is a compound that is responsible for certain physiological functions and immune responses in our body. When you have excessively high levels of this, or if it cannot be broken down properly, you may have histamine intolerance. One of the symptoms of histamine intolerance is headaches or migraine. To prevent headaches due to this, you should be careful about your histamine intake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid or lessen foods that are rich in this chemical. Some of these include alcohol, fermented beverages, fermented foods, dairy products, processed meats, smoked meats, shellfish, spinach, eggplant, avocados, and dried fruits. You may also add low-histamine foods to your diet, such as fresh meat, fresh fish, eggs, non-citrus fruits, gluten-free grains, dairy substitutes, cooking oils, and fresh vegetables except the ones previously mentioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

18. Avoiding Nitrates and Nitrites<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Food Navigator<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Nitrates and nitrites may possibly cause headaches. Consumption of or exposure to these may cause vasodilation of the blood vessels. This in turn may lead to a vascular headache. Nitrates can be found in some medications, as well as in certain chemicals that are used in food and beverages. On the other hand, nitrites are used in processed meats to preserve the red coloring, and also in other food products as preservatives. Although the amounts used are usually low, nitrite content may still trigger a headache in those who are sensitive to it. To be on the safe side, it is better to avoid nitrates and nitrites in your diet as much as you could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

19. Cutting Down Gadget Use<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Daily Mail<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While the majority of the causes of headaches have been around for ages, one modern-day trigger is gadget use. Now that almost everyone has gadgets and spends a lot of time on their phones or tablets, digital eye strain and resulting headaches are now common. If you find yourself getting headaches a lot, especially if it is accompanied by eye strain, you might consider cutting down your gadget time. Avoid using your phones and other devices too much, especially if you do not need to. Less screen time can help prevent headaches. If you don’t have a choice but to spend time in front of a screen, make sure you take regular breaks to rest your eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

20. Over-the-Counter Pain Relievers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
RxSaver<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you find that other remedies are not working for you, you might decide to resort to over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers. These medicines typically work quickly and effectively. They are usually the first line of treatment for headaches that won’t go away using natural methods. Examples of OTC medication that are commonly used are ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin), acetaminophen (Tylenol), and naproxen (Aleve). If you find yourself using OTC pain relievers more than twice a week, it would be advisable to see your doctor in case you need preventative medication. Using symptomatic medication too often may actually worsen your headache, or result in more frequent episodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Headaches are quite common, with a great variety of types and occurring for a number of reasons. Most of the time, they are easily prevented or resolved with an over-the-counter pain reliever or any of the remedies mentioned here. But in some cases, a headache could be a symptom of something more serious. It could be a cause of concern if you suffer from prolonged headaches or if it is a chronic problem. If the headaches you suffer from are severe or if they occur frequently, it is time to see a medical expert.
