Is coffee good or bad for headaches?
Question:
Answers:
As Ryan C said earlier, if you drink a lot of coffee you can get caffeine withdrawal headaches. However, caffeine is one of the main ingredients in most over the counter migraine headache remedies. I have occasional migraines, and when I get them, I take two Excedrin Migraine tablets (which contain caffeine, aspirin, & tylenol) and chase them with a cup of coffee.
It could be good or bad, if you are addicted to caffeine which many people are, you get caffeine withdrawel headaches. You get a headache, drink caffeine and it goes away. But sometimes after the caffeine wears out the headache comes back worse than before. And the more caffeine you drink the more your body is going to wont so the more headachs you will get.
1) If you have a regular type headache and drink some coffee, the headache usually goes away. I used to have migraines and many times drinking coffee stopped the migraine or slowed it down.
2) However, if you have been drinking coffee every day for awhile and then don't drink it the next day and get a headache, it might be coffee withdrawal that is causing the headache. So, drinking coffee will stop the headache.
coffee is the best cure for headaches
but.
it is just a CURE and not a PREVENTION
moreover if taken regularly a person gets addicted to it because of the presence of the drug caffeine in it.
Actually, the caffiene in coffee helps aspirin work better. You'll notice the manufacturing companies of aspirin have generally quit adding caffiene to aspirin. They all used to. Now, you have to read the labels if you want caffiene mixed with your aspirin.
For instance, regular Bayer aspirin (now) has no caffiene in it. But if you buy Bayer Back and Body, the only difference is some caffiene is mixed in with the aspirin. Can ya believe it? They charge twice as much for Bayer B&B when all ya gotta do is drink some coffee with the regular (twice as cheap) Bayer aspirin..
Back to your question. if one is in the habit of drinking coffee and decides to quit, the withdrawal effect from the caffiene can actually cause headaches.
If you're drinking the coffee for the "lift" it (caffiene) gives you because you need to stay awake for some reason, the fatique is usually the cause of the headache, not the coffee...
It has been said that caffiene is good. A lot of headache meds contain caffiene.
IT WILL DEPEND UPON YOUR CONSTITUTION.
If you are a cough excessive it will help-without sugar and milk.
There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation;
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment. I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
Avoid late sleeping if possible;spicy, sour, stale bakery foods and alcohole.
Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help you.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it isvery strong.
If it is acute pl search a painful point 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.
