What is the best way to cure a headache?!
Question: put an icepack on your forehead and go to sleep
Answers: put an icepack on your forehead and go to sleep
sleep it off
ADVIL
advil or any pain-reliever (for headaches)
advil or no prescription migrain medicine
or for natural solution
warm or cool cloth and sleep
goodies...its a white powder...doesn't taste all that great ..but it works practically instantly.....
a pain reliever or a cold rag on your forehead, or lie down in the dark where it's quiet and try breathing exercises to control the pain.
Drink some fluids and lie down. If this doesn't work you can get some asprin from CVS. Hope I helped.
a cold shower and deep breathing....let the cold water hit the back of your neck and also the area of your headache. you may have to do it a few times.
I found that laying down in with a warm, damp washcloth over my eyes for about 15 minutes works well. Hope it works for you too
Pharmacy Student here.....
Type of headache makes a difference.
1. Hangover/stress induced headaches or just the occasional head pain should respond to ONE advil (Ibuprofen 200mg) if you do not take analgesics often.
IF you do use analgesics often: Take 2 Advil (400mg of Ibuprofen) with some food or at least milk since Ibuprofen can be tough on the stomach
2. Migraine headaches (pounding, light/sound sensitive, usually one side of the head headaches)
- Excederin migraine (TWO caplets) works wonders
The trick is - the caffeine in Excederin helps with migraine pain....even some Rx strength drugs used for migraine pain contain caffeine.
***If you have a migraine at night (the caffeine in excederin might make sleeping difficult) so I would recommend 1 advil and 1 excederin. Since Ibuprofen (Advil) is not in Excederin (Acetaminophen, Aspirin, and caffeine) you are not risking taking the same meds twice. This way you have less caffeine to sleep and a little more analgesic power.
weed cures EVERYTHING
A deficiency in vitamin B12 will produce symptoms such as headaches and migraines, numbness and tingling and prickling sensations in the outer extremities, dizzy spells, fainting and loss of balance, heart palpitations and chest pains,excessive sweating, excessive urination and dry mouth, nausea and vomiting, fatigue and exhaustion, depression, insomnia and constipation, irritability and moodiness and an inability to think clearly ....Quite scary actually if you don't realise the vitamin factor.
As these vitamins all work synergistically (best as a group) if you are deficient in vitamins B1, B2 and B6 your body will not be able to produce niacin (vitamin B3) from tryptophan.
Lack of niacin will bring about negative personality changes. It is therefore actually the niacin (vitamin B3) deficiency that will usually cause migraines and headaches. Niacin is necessary for healthy nervous system and brain functions.
Other symptoms of vitamin B3 deficiency you may be suffering from are aching bones and muscle weakness, depression, diarrhoea and severe dermatitis.
Eat more foods rich in this vitamin ie: fish, lean meat, whole wheat products, liver, wheat germ, eggs, roasted peanuts, the white meat of poultry, dates, avocadoes, figs and prunes.
A handfull of steamed chicken usually does the trick for me.
If you are lactose intolerant or vegetarian then it is really important that you supplement your diet with a multi B complex tablet on a daily basis.
Things that could be robbing you of your precious B complex of vitamins are :- eating too much protein, alcohol, eating too much tinned food, the oral contraceptive, eoestrogen supplementation, antiobiotics,otc cold and flu medicines, antidepressants, penicillin, prednisone and aspirin.
Also, try to cut back on drinks such as caffeine, tea, sodas and soft drinks as they are all B complex thieves........ as well as being great at dehydrating you.
Take a multi B complex tablet including all the B's ie: B1, B2 B3, B5, B6 and B12 as they work best synergistically (together).
The B complex of vitamins is essential for healthy neural, digestive and immune system functioning.
The B complex of vitamins is a water soluble complex and as such our bodies can neither store or produce them. Therefore we need to ingest them on a daily basis or suffer the consequences as you unfortunately are.........
When you take your daily supplement ensure that you take it with some type of calcium rich food ie: low fat cheese or skim milk or a calcium supplement as B12 needs calcium to be properly assimilated by the body........... ensure you also get enough sunshine (vitamin D) or eat cold water fishes such as tuna, salmon, sardines and whiting as calcium needs enough vitamin D to be effectively absorbed!! These cold water fishes are also a rich source of magnesium (known as the antistress mineral) which is probably another thing you need to focus on as well ~ your stress levels. Quite a handfull of information here ........ sorry it's a bit long winded but you need to know all this.
When our bodies are placed under added stress such as sickness, relationship dramas, new job, school studies or just daily life really, the B complex of vitamins are usually the first group to get used up and we therefore need to adjust our intake accordingly.
When you are getting any stress related symptoms or any of the above mentioned symptoms simply take another B tablet. As they are water soluble our bodies will simply excrete any excess in our urine.
Drink loads of fresh filtered water too as the happiest and healthiest body will always be the most hydrated one.
I sincerely wish you the best of health & vitality buddy?
