Headache remedies?
Question:
Answers:
I am a physician and if you have daily headaches, then something is wrong. If your headaches occur during the afternoon, then you may have hypertension...if there is no special time involved, we have to consider allergies, or even foods as a possible cause, and lastly there are organic causes. I have lived in Asia for a long time and while I don't follow herbal remedies, I believe in accupressure. One of the accupressure points for headaches is the web between your thumb and forefinger...take your right hand and pinch down on the web...pretty hard....then repeat to the opposite hand. Keep pressure on for a few minutes. A better method is very difficult to explain but take your fingers and apply pressure to the end of your eyebrows above the nose....you will know the correct place as it will be a little painful...if no pain, then you haven'f got the right place...apply pressure for a minute or so...then the same at the hair line in the center of your head...then middle, progressing backward just above the knowledge bump...then down the muscles of your neck (it is best if someone else can do it for you)....works for me. But headaches can be caused by food allergies, so you should begin to eliminate things like bread, fish, etc....if there is no improvement, then add that food item back. Some headaches stem from posture....new shoes can cause headaches...but if nothing really works, then it is time to see a physician and find out the actual cause...and don't accept a bland answer.
Avoid bright lights, peppermint oil on the back of the neck and forehead, add a cool rag to your forehead, and rest in a quiet room.
