7 Best Natural And Easy Ways to Cure Headaches
Headache treatments
More than 47 million Americans have experienced a severe or debilitating headache in the past three months. Migraines alone affect 9% of the U.S. population and costs $1 billion a year in direct medical expenses.
There are the obvious choices for zapping the pain, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (Motrin and Aleve, for example). People with migraines often take beta blockers or antidepressants to prevent headaches, and triptans, such as Imitrex or Relpax, once symptoms start.
But if your headaches are persistent or other medications just aren't cutting it, here are some other approaches you can consider.
The next time you feel your head throbbing (or you want to prevent a headache from coming on), you can try a few natural remedies. Doing moderate aerobics or applying cold can help. Watch this video for more ways you can beat a headache.
In the past, I've tried Imitrex -- and it DID help as I was having some intense pain. Severe. It reduced it a lot, yet I still had a #Headache.
That was a #migraine, and I did not catch it early - which is 1 of the keys, I feel.
Nowadays, i use natural remedies - such as Peppermint (essential oil & peppermint in pill form). Also I use #Lavender candles.
And of course, the trusty ice bag.
Rarely do I go to a doctor for a headache. Usually just solve myself.
Thanks for the video tips ! I will keep acupuncture in mind.
