Home Remedies and Natural Herbal Remedies for Headache
A headache is a familiar human problem that is well known to everyone. It can be triggered by a broad range of conditions but it normally is not a sign of serious disease. The severity of a headache greatly varies from episode to episode, from minor to severe and disabling discomfort that may continue for several hrs and does not fade away on its own. Many over-the-counter drugs are very helpful but unfortunately, all can bring about a series of side effects and may also lead to severe complications if utilized frequently and/or in higher doses.
In addition to over-the-counter pain relievers, you may also alleviate headache with a number of home remedies or prepared natural remedies for headache which are said to be very effective and have little or no side effects:
Here are a few natural treatment options you can try at home.
– Rest and relax. If possible lay down in a dark, quiet space and rest. It may take a little more time as compared to an Aspirin however resting is often sufficient to make the headache go away entirely on its own.
– Cold and heat. Alternate cold and warm compresses on the back of the neck beginning with a warm one for about 15 to 20 minutes.
– Massage. Ask someone to lightly massage your temples, forehead, neck and shoulders.
– Consume a cup of willow bark tea. Willow bark tea contains salicylic acid which is an active component of aspirin.
