Something for headaches and neck pain?!


Question:

Something for headaches and neck pain?

Is there a home remedy I can get that will help headaches or neck pain. Might be stress related but not sure.


Answers:

Hi arkangel,
Tension-type headaches are simply caused by overstraining of muscles. That can be strain of the eyes, face, teeth or muscles in the neck for instance. Relaxation and massage of these muscles can bring immediate relief. Vascular headaches are caused by a dysfunction of the blood flow in the head. For still unknown reasons the blood vessels in the head take too much blood, dilate too much and causes the pain. Narrowing the arteries brings relief.

Natural headache remedies which can influence these causes can bring pain relief. Here is an overview of what you can do. Many of the following tips are also useful in preventing headaches or migraines. Some are good to fight the pain when the headache has started already:
1. Affect the blood circulation by taking a hot/cold bath or shower, making a cold compress to your forehead, a hot or cold compress to your neck or/and put your feet in hot/cold water.
2. Feverfew tee has been a well known migraine treatment since centuries.
3. Drink a cup of strong coffee. The caffeine narrows the arteries.
4. Lavender and peppermint can relax. You can drink a tea or apply the oils to your temples, neck and hairline. Please see full article: http://www.askedweb.com/askedweb/natural...
