6 Natural Ways To Cure A Headache

There is nothing worse than having a bad headache. Migraines, tension headaches, and  cervicogenic headaches, all can have a significant impact on your day if they are not dealt with.  Here are some natural ways we like to combat that pesky headache.  

1. Drink water. There are many symptoms associated with dehydration. One of them being headaches.  The American Academy of Sports Medicine recommends half your body weight in ounces per day, more if you are exercising or working hard.  

2. Eat frequently. Eating several small, balanced meals containing protein, fat, and carbohydrates daily keeps blood sugar level. Low blood sugar is known to cause headaches. 

3. Avoid caffeine, artificial sweeteners, MSG, and processed foods. 

4. Manage stress levels. Meditation, breathing exercises, and physical activity are all good ways to stay stress free.

5. Sleep. It is recommended that you get at least 7-8 hours of sleep daily.

6. Chiropractic care. Patients of chiropractors have known for years that a simple neck adjustment can eliminate a headache in a matter of seconds.  Chiropractic care is a proven, all natural alternative to pain killer and muscle relaxer drugs.  Also your chiropractor can offer lifestyle advice to help you avoid the things that may be causing your headaches.  See our article on alignyourspine.net on “How To Setup Your Workstation”.  Manual therapy is more effective than usual General Practitioner  care in the short- and longer term in reducing symptoms of chronic tension headaches (Cephalalgia. 2011 (Jan);   31 (2):   133–143).
