Question: What helps a really bad headache other than sleep?
Answers:
Try this natural migraine treatment:
The medicines prescribed by the doctors are devised only to keep the pain in check. It does not prevent a recurrence of another episode. Further, it creates a dependence on drugs that are very harmful in a long term. Natural treatment usually involves a strict discipline that need to be followed for a period of time which will result in complete prevention of migraine recurrence.
Here are some of the tips that can be followed to keep the pain at check:
1. Breathing Exercise
Breathing regulates the flow of blood and hence the oxygen supply to the brain and head region. Breathe slowly and deep so that you can focus away from the pain.
2. Head/Eye Massage
Gently massage your forehead with your fingers. Massage the acupressure points around the eye. It can offer a great relief from pain. Gently apply mild pressure and run your forefinger around the cavity of the eye.
3. Aromatherapy
Add a few teaspoons of essential oils of a preferable aroma to hot water in a bowl and take in the steam.
4. Hot and Cold Treatment
Take a towel and dip it in hot water. Gently rub and massage the painful areas with the towel. Keep the temperature of the towel to a level that feels comfortable. Some people prefer Cold water or ice cubes instead of hot water or steam. Find out what works best for you to bring you relief.
5. Relaxation Music
Choose mild instrumental music of your preference and listen to it. Also, guided relaxation tapes with a good music in the background could be used.
