Natural Headache Relief

When a headache hits, in you can feel immobilized. Most of us reach for over the counter pain relief to get the job done. Recent research has shown regular use of all pain medicines come with greater health risks. Research has not accurately depicted all of the risk. I recently met with a client, female age 26 who was recently hospitalized with severely elevated liver levels for taking Tylenol 4 times per day for a headache. Our bodies are so sensitive, we do not know how much of a pain reliever can create a side effect. We assume to follow the parameters on the label, but, those are standard dosage recommendations. Due to the increased news of risk taking any pain reliever, it is best that you seek out a natural safe remedy first to see if you can resolve the issue.

Georges Always Active Aloe Vera

Not just any aloe vera, it must be George's. I have recommended George's in previous articles. George's aloe is distilled to vaporize and quickly absorb through the skin. If you buy a bottle of George's and let it cool in the refrigerator. Wet a washcloth with the cold aloe vera liquid and place it on your forehead. Lie down and rest for 20 minutes. It will seep in and cool your nerves. Drink 4 ounces along with it. Georges tastes just like plain water with no bitter Aloe taste. This is one of my favorite products that I have used for years on family members of all ages.

Take Natural Aspirin

White willow bark contains salicin. Aspirin is derived from white willow bark. This herb can offer natural pain relief. DO not take this herb if you are on blood thinners or have an allergy to salicylates or sulfa drugs. Do not take with any other pain relievers.

There is an innovative company called King Bio that offers homeopathic sprays that taste like water. They are effective in treating various ailments.

If you wish to involve a bit more guess work then the right remedy can be matched to the kind of pain you are having. If you headache hurts in a head band pattern all around the head, Aconite 30X is a recommended remedy. If your headache pain increases in the evening or feels worse in the evening then, Bryonia Aba 30C can be used. If your headache is stress related Ignatia 30C is used. For head pain related to eye strain, Ruta Grav 30C.

Herbal Tea Can Help

Peppermint tea can soothe a headache that occurs with indigestion. Chamomile Tea is also very calming and can be a relaxing drink. Do not drink chamomile if you are allergic to ragweed. Passion Flower Tea can be very relaxing to drink for a stress headache.

Eliminate Food Allergies

There are foods that can trigger a headache. Cheeses such as Brie, Feta and Gorgonzola can trigger a headache. Pickles, chocolate, dairy products, and red wine have also been known to trigger a headache. Processed foods such as soups, various deli meats, and frozen dinners that contain high sodium and/or and MSG can give you a massive headache. Splenda and Nutrasweet can also trigger headaches, especially if you have not drank enough water. Most people that sit at their desks all day sipping on diet beverages need to accompany their sugar free beverages with water. Drinking artificially sweetened beverages when you are dehydrated can often result in feeling headaches or nausea.
