Heal Your Headache

Headaches are no fun, there's no doubt about it.
They prevent you from doing your basic, everyday tasks.
Fortunately, there are many ways (most of them natural!) to prevent and heal your headache.
However, not all headaches are created equal.
You should first determine what type of headache you have.
Here are some common headaches, along with prevention/healing tips: Tension headache - starts as a constant, dull ache in the back of your head.
The pain then radiates across the forehead to the temples.
Neck or shoulder pain is also possible.
The pain can be downright unbearable! This headache is brought on by stress, hence it's name.
The key to prevention is stress management.
Always take time for yourself each day, doing something relaxing, that you enjoy.
You should really do this anyway, as it clears your mind and gives you a general sense of well-being.
Try to breathe deeply when you find yourself in a tense situation.
Aside from the obvious (meaning Aspirin, Tylenol, etc) methods, when a tension headache strikes, try rubbing lavender oil on your temples.
It's a great, natural stress reliever, and it can go a long way in healing your headache! Chamomile tea is an excellent choice for this type of headache, as chamomile is a natural sedative, making it an essential herb for dealing with stress.
Migraine headache - Ah, the migraine.
The most dreaded headache of all.
You'll know it's a migraine if you have an awful, throbbing pain, accompanied by a sensitivity to light, and sometimes, nausea or vomiting.
Fun stuff, huh?Like tension headaches, stress can bring these bad boys on.
So can pregnancy, PMS, birth control pills, certain medications.
Women are said to be more prone to them than men.
To avoid them, stay away from foods such as chocolate, cheese, nuts, and citrus fruits.
If stress is a big factor, try the stress management tips above.
To heal your migraine headache, you can try laying in a very dark, quiet room (when possible) with a cool compress on your forehead.
Something that works amazingly for me personally, when I have a migraine, is taking four Advil with a cup of coffee.
The pills combined with the caffeine really help to knock out the pain, at least for me it does.
Be aware, though, that in some people, caffeine can make a migraine worse, so use at your own discretion!A great herb to take for this is Black Willow.
It helps with pain and inflammation.
I hope that you find these tips useful.
Good luck!
