Most people suffer from headaches, but only a few are able to distinguish between a headache and a migraine. A headache usually occurs when the blood vessels alternatively constrict and dilate thereby releasing inflammatory substances that stimulate pain. When headaches prolong for a longer period of time and are accompanied by any of the following symptoms, you can be more than sure that it is a migraine:

 

·         Nausea

 

·         Stomach upset

 

·         Fever

 

·         Dizziness & Fatigue

 

·         Blind spots or blurred vision (this phenomenon is called aura and is usually the starting sign of migraine)

 

·         Cluster headache (an intense headache which may appear 1 or 2 times a day and may last for 2 or 3 months)  

 

Headaches usually are triggered by fatigue, stress, allergies, alcohol, drugs, poor posture, low blood sugar, hormonal imbalance & nutritional deficiencies. Here are a few natural ways to relieve you of such debilitating headaches/migraines.  

 

1.       Replace painkillers with magnesium by intravenously or orally consuming 200-600 mg of magnesium a day. Dietary source of fibre includes fibre rich foods, whole grains and vegetables like broccoli.

 

 

2.       Make use of natural oils like coconut oil, eucalyptus oil, peppermint oil and aromatic oils like lavender oil that act as mood stabilizers and sedatives to give you immediate relief from pain. Indulge in a soothing massage if possible. 3.       Herbs like butter-bur and fever-few have properties of easing the tension in muscles. These are available in the form of tablets too which can be consumed after consulting a qualified physician. 4.       Sometimes, fish oil seems to work when ingested in small quantities because of its rich omega-3-fatty acid composition. You can mix it with orange juice if you can’t stand the smell. 5.       Play around with hot and cold bags to see which one works for you. Usually if you constantly have dilated blood vessels, a cold bag treatment will help constrict those vessels and the vice-versa. 6.       If you don’t mind the strong flavour, munching on ginger has a very good effect during times of pain. 7.       Say no to chocolates. 8.       Get into a nice hot water bath with diluted aromatic oils. 9.       Constantly keep a check on your posture while you sit at work. Do breathing exercises and muscle stretches often to prevent muscles from becoming rigid. 10.   Last but not the least, drink a lot of water.
