Is there any way to stop headaches without taking medicine?

Answer 1

# Make sure you are hydrated.

# Have a snack that has some whole grains and a small amount of protein, to make sure your blood sugar is stable.

# Turn off the computer, turn off the cell phone - do some yoga (no inverted poses), or take a walk in the fresh air. If lights are bothering you, lay down in the dark. Take some time to just breathe.

# Take a nap.

# Use acupressure/trigger point therapy/massage

#* Easy trigger point therapy for the neck: put two tennis balls in a sock, tie the end of the sock, then lay down with your neck on the sock, pushing your neck into it. #* Acupressure for the head: pinch the webbing in between your thumb and forefinger. Pinch it deep down, it should feel like a dull ache. Pinch for a full minute. #* More acupressure for the head:Pinch the bridge of your nose, right between your eyeballs. #* Massage the fascia covering the jaw: Basically you want to move the skin over your face like silly putty. Push it upward for three seconds, then push/pull downward for three seconds. Work on moving it in all directions. Make sure you get close to the ear.

just pray. Binaural Beats are an alternative to using medication which can be effective for various conditions, including headache, insomnia, nausea, arthritic pain, etc. The application generally involves the use of stereo headphones, and a comfortable position for 20 minutes or so. No effort or concentration is required, and even falling asleep does not hinder the effectiveness. Regular use can not only treat the symptom, but be curative of the overall cause as well.
