Tips for Relieving Headaches

1. Drink more water. Dehydration is one of the most common causes of headaches. It is recommended to drink more boiled water or fresh juice and avoid caffeinated beverages such as tea and coffee.

2. Head massage. Use your index finger and/or thumb to gently massage the headache area in a circular motion to relax the muscles and improve blood circulation. Press for 7-15 seconds and then release. If necessary, the action can be repeated.

3. Eat on time and eat a balanced diet. Failure to eat on time and picky eating can lead to hypoglycemia, which in turn can cause headaches.

4. Don’t use a pillow that is too high. Lack of sleep or poor quality sleep can cause headaches. Generally speaking, you must ensure 6-8 hours of high-quality sleep every night. But be careful not to use a pillow that is too high when sleeping.

5. Close your eyes and relax. Sit in a dimly lit room with your eyes closed for a few moments to relax and release tension and stress in your back, neck, and shoulders. Avoid hunching your back or straightening your body intentionally.

6. Rinse your back with hot water. When showering, let the hot water directly hit your head, neck and back to relieve tension in the head and neck muscles and make blood flow smoother.

7. Smile. Laughter has a therapeutic effect on minor headaches. Laughing more can cause your brain to release more euphoric hormones called endorphins, which help relieve pain.

8. Listen to music. Listening to your favorite music can help relieve stress during a headache. In addition, closing your eyes and thinking about happy things has the same effect.

9. Get some fresh air. Deep breathing exercises can help relieve headaches. Breathing deeply in fresh air is a more effective natural remedy for headaches.

10. “Go outside” for 5 minutes. Get away from the stressful situation and go for a walk, or just take a few minutes to focus on something else that helps you relax. Going outside for 5 minutes is a quick and easy home remedy for reducing stress and relieving headaches.
