4. CIRCULATION

PROBLEMS Caused by stress, hormonal imbalance, nutrients deficiencies can lead to headaches.

They can cause spasm of blood vessels that in turn can lead to reduction of blood flow

and oxygen supply to the brain. In extreme cases severe disruption of blood and oxygen

supply results in a stroke.

5. REAL MIGRAINEOR CLASSIC

MIGRAINE (Not to be confused with intense headaches, but considered fake migraine) is caused

by excessive dilation of blood vessels in the head. Usually sufferers have warning

symptoms before the onset of the pain for about a few minutes. They include blurring

or bright spot in the vision, fatigue, nausea and others.

So if you started having headaches way more often then once every 3-4 months without

any visible reason then its not time to take stronger pain killers, but its time to think

about the source of the headache.

In the next article I will tell you how to deal with different kinds of headaches and treat

them naturally and harmlessly

o Tension headache: The most common type of headache. Many tension

headaches take time to develop following physical or emotional stress but can

last for days or just hours once it kicks in. This headache tends to form as a

result of muscle contraction, and is commonly felt as a band behind the eyes and

across the forehead, but the pain can be located anywhere in the head, including

on the side or at the back. The headache may be dull or recurrent if the source is

not dealt with, and can be accompanied by feeling generally unwell, especially ifthe sufferer also has anxiety or depression. This type of headache tends to

respond well to painkillers, rest, and alleviation of the source of stress.

Sometimes a tension headache is accompanied by feeling nauseous.

o Medication overuse headache: The third most widespread source of headaches

is the medication overuse headache, AKA "rebound headache", which stems

from withdrawal symptoms from long-term use of pain relief medication (usually

for tension headaches). MOH headaches are treatable, requiring cessation of the

medication on which the sufferer has grown reliant and often supplemented with

prophylactic treatment.[4]

The symptoms of an MOH headache are often similar to

those of tension headaches.

o Hangoverheadache: The pain is real and so is what you drank the night before!Symptoms include throbbing pain, nausea, and feeling generally lousy. Keep up

your fluids and be patient.

o Allergyor food induced headache: With an allergy induced headache. you'll often

have a runny nose and watery eyes as well as the headache, and the headache

induce headaches in sensitive persons; other symptoms will include facial

pressure, chest pain, burning sensation on trunk, neck and shoulders and the

head will throb. Nitrites and nitrates in meat can induce a moderate to severe

headache. And if you eat ice cream or drink a cold drink too quickly, you can

induce a temporary "brainfreeze", or "ice cream headache" which is severe but

passes quickly.o Migraineheadache: With a migraine, the sufferer will feel throbbing pain

accompanied by severe nausea and possiblevomiting. There are visual

problems such as seeing stars, flickering objects, and even partial loss of vision.

Some migraines also causenumbnessor weakness. Migraines can be caused

by reactions to food, stressors, hormonal changes, an accident, and for some

people, they are inherited. Migraines require special attention and you should

seek advice from your doctor on what to medicate with, as well as finding

methods to try and head off getting a migraine.

o Cluster headache: This is a headache that sits around your eye area and can

involve pain, drooping eyelids, nasal discharge and a watery eye. It tends to be

more common in males, and can be ongoing. If this type of head pain isoccurring, take it seriously and see your doctor for advice and treatment.

o Headache caused by pain, problems, or tension in another part of the body:

Headaches can be caused by sinus blockage, a cold, virus, orfever, coughing,

physical exertion, hunger, eyestrain, strained neck or back muscles, arthritis, and

by dental problems. In each case, it is essential to get your doctor's examination

and advice, as you will probably need wider body treatment and not just a simple

focus on the head region. If you have to wear certain items regularly, such as

goggles for swimming, or pull your hair back a lot for modeling or stagework, etc.,

these can cause headaches in their own right often the symptoms will be

relieved by removing the item or changing your hair styling method.o Accident induced headache: If you involved in an accident in which your head

receives ashock, bump, hit, or bang, you may develop a headache. As this can

also be accompanied by concussion, skullfractures, internal bleeding, etc., you

must seek immediate medical treatment. Post-traumatic headaches can arise as

the result of being in an accident or traumatic situation these can be extremely

difficult to treat and may need the intervention of a specialist trained in

psychology or psychiatry.

o Aneurysm: You will experience a sudden, "thunderclap" of pain. This pain can

mimic a migraine or cluster headache and can be accompanied by a stiff neck,

double vision, and loss of consciousness. Get immediate, urgent medical

assistance. In this case, surgery and blood pressure stabilization are the maintreatments.

o Tumor induced headache: This is rare and if you have any suspicions that this is

an issue, see your doctor immediately. Some symptoms of a brain tumor might

include numbness or weakness of limbs, slurred speech, disturbed vision,

epileptic fits, personality changes, or poor balance. It is rare for there to be no

other symptom than a headache.

o Altitude sicknessheadache: If you experience altitude sickness, the pain can

affect both sides of the head, or just one side. Usually impacts climbers not using

oxygen. Follow the precautions for treating altitude sickness.

o Other headaches: There are a number of other reasons for triggering a headache

that are best diagnosed by a doctor; what is important to understand is that if you

have any concerns, see your doctor quickly.

Make it go away!

Try different methods for alleviating your headache. Not every method suggested in

the following sections will necessarily help, and it remains vital to always be alert forheadache symptoms that might require a visit to the doctor. However, with trial and

error, you should be able to find various methods that do alleviate your tension or other

home-treatable headache and you might find that these work each time. In addition to

trying different remedies, it is suggested that you:

o Keep a record of your headaches. This will help you to identify patterns that bring

about headaches, such as after a particularly stressful period at work, after

communication problems, after eating certain foods, etc. and will be a way that

you can start learning to head off a headache before it begins to develop. If your

headaches are hormonally induced (for example, as a result of having a period),

knowing when you're likely to experience hormonal fluctuations (and hence

headaches) will allow you to plan accordingly to "ease up" on work and home

chores at this time of the month.

o Learn to look at all of your lifestyle factors as a whole, to identify the areas where

you can reduce stressors that lead to body tension and headaches. Identifying

"precipitating factors", including food, bright lights, alcohol, exercise, stress,

changes in your life,sleepproblems, physical exertion, etc., will ensure that you

learn coping strategies that reduce the likelihood of getting a headache or other

stress or tension related symptoms.

Relaxation Techniques

1. 1

Rest is best for a normal headache

Rest. Rest and time out from other people, noise, and thinking about problems can go avery long way to improving a tension induced headache. Lay down in a quiet, darkened

room for at least a half hour.[5]Ensure that the bed or couch is comfortable and that your

head is supported in a position that doesn't increase the tension to your head. Shut your

eyes and simply lie still for the time, or try to sleep.

Oh that's so not helping! Concentrate!

Use massage. Massage the ears and ear lobes as well as the neck. If you can, find twotennis balls or racket balls and put them in a sock. Lie on a flat surface and place thetwo balls just below the base of your skull on the occipital and relax. You may feel sinus

pressure or minimal discomfort at first but it will go away. Stay in this position with the

still point on the occipital for as long as needed. This is especially helpful for sinus

headaches.

o Have someone else massage your neck and back if possible. The simple touch

of someone else who cares about you can relieve a lot of tension instantly.

o Try massaging the top of the bridge of your nose. This can help sometimes.

3. 3

Use cold andwarm compresses. Apply both compresses alternately to the nape ofthe neck. Wring a small towel in hot water and place on the neck for two minutes.

Repeat for one minute with a towel wrung in cold water. Continue doing this for up to 20

minutes.[6]

Think beauty

Visualize peacefulness. Spend some time relaxing your mind. Visualize a calm scene,such as a green forest or blue ocean, andtake deep breaths. Without doing anything,

have the thought of allowing your neck the freedom to float, and your back the freedom

to sink into something very soft. Tension in the neck and shoulders can often be the

cause of headaches.

5. 5

Visualize your headache going away. Imagine your headache as silvery smoke andvisualize it seeping out through the roots of your hair. Although this takes concentration

and you cannot usually do anything whilst trying this, it can be quite effective.

6. 6

Relax with someone who knows what to do!

Consideracupunctureoracupressure. These can reduce the head pain if performedby a qualified person. Ask to see licensing and check that needles are sterilized in the

case of acupuncture. These techniques are good for reducing nausea. Although

acupuncture has not fared well in experimental trials (working equally well as [7]or even

worse than[8]randomly stabbing someone with needles or making them only think they

have been punctured), headaches based on physical tension can benefit greatly evenfrom placebo effects that help the user to relax.

7. 7

Pressuring parts of the feet for your headache!

Try simple reflexology. Use the thumb and index finger of one hand to apply pressureto the fleshy area between the thumb and index finger of the other hand. Hold this for a

minute or two. This doesn't seem to work for everyone, but for some people, it provides

immediate relief. The relief may be temporary, or you may get rid of your headache

entirely. Although reflexology is as effective as a placebo treatment[9](much like with

acupuncture, above), there can still be some benefit in pain management from either

form, due to the highly subjective nature of pain and tension.

Take a commercial headache preparation (analgesic) available from a pharmacy or

supermarket.

Take a commercial headache preparation (analgesic) available from a pharmacyor supermarket. If you visit a pharmacy, you can describe the symptoms to thepharmacist who may be able to point you to a particular medication that might alleviate

the pain. Common painkillers for headaches include aspirin, anti-inflammatories, and

acetaminophen (Tylenol, Panadol, etc.). Always follow the instructions precisely as

indicated on the product; not doing so can mask or worsen your condition.

o Stop taking aspirin (a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)) if you

experienceindigestionor any sign of increased bruising and do not use aspirin

for children under 12.[10]

o Stronger remedies contain codeine. This can help alleviate pain initially but it has

its own side effects, including constipation and could mask more serious

symptoms. If you feel as if you need to keep upping the dose, see your doctor.

2. 2

Use heat or cold.

Use heat or cold. Depending on your preference, heat or cold can improve yourheadache when applied direct to the skin. You can try one or the other, or even

alternate between hot and cold:[11]

o Cold: Applyice packs. Ice packs have been used for years to treat headaches

and they still work. You usually find ice packs at your drugstore. A cold rag on

your neck or forehead can also work wonders.

o Heat: Use a moist hot pack (but not too hot) to loosen up tense muscles. Or

apply a warm cloth to the forehead of back of the neck.[12]

o A cold or warm bath before lying down might be helpful.

15/27

o

Feverfew

Feverfew: Feverfew can be taken in capsule or tablet form, as a tea, or even

eaten in a sandwich (it tastes bitter). There is mixed evidence to support the

effectiveness of feverfew but it has been relied upon for centuries, so it might be

worth trying.[13]There are no serious side effects to using feverfew although you

might experience a sore tongue, mouth ulcers, or nausea, digestive problems

and bloating. Coming off long-term use of feverfew can disrupt sleep and causeheadaches.

o Willow bark, magnesium, peppermint, and lavender supplements might help.[14]

Note, however, that the scientific support for or extensive studies on the

effectiveness of many of these supplements varies.[15]If you feel it that works for

you, and you're aware of any potential side effects, then trust your own remedies!

o

Peppermint tea

Tea: A cup of tea made from passionflower, rosemary, or lavender might

alleviate a headache.[16]Peppermintor chamomile tea can help to relax you.

o

Eat almonds.

Eatalmonds. Almonds contain pain-relieving chemicals that might reduce your

headache symptoms.[20]

o Try cayenne pepper.

Trycayenne pepper. Cayenne pepper might help to improve your headache. You

could try consuming it (the theory being that when the cayenne pepper hits yourstomach, endorphins are released), but some research suggests that only topical

application works effectively.[21]

It is probably best to get your doctor's advice if

you're planning to apply this topically!

o

Apply a compress with vinegar (preferably home-made, apple vinegar) to your

head.

o

Drink a cup of a caffeine-containing beverage.

Drink a cup of a caffeine-containing beverage. Caffeine constricts the bloodvessels, which can lessen head pain. But too much caffeine may trigger

migraines in some people so instead ofcoffee, you might like to try tea. If taken

in conjunction with a painkiller, caffeine can also speed up the medicine's effect,

and as a result some painkillers include caffeine.[22]

Alternately, you can drink

cola. Note that if you're a heavy caffeine or soda drinker, you may experience

headaches as part of caffeine withdrawal. A jolt of caffeine will usually help, but

in the long run, it's best to break your addiction and the headaches will

disappear.

looking at different distances for a few minutes every hour and do some basic

body stretches.

Implement dietary changes. Although this won't alleviate your headache straightaway, making dietary changes in the longer term can potentially remove a source of

headaches for you in the future. If you don't know where to begin, see your doctor, a

dietician/nutritionist, or a naturopath.

o Find out whether you have any particular food allergies and eliminate those foods

from your diet.

o Reduce your intake of caffeine.Caffeinecan induce headaches. Ironically,

withdrawal from caffeine will probably cause a temporary headache but once

you're through the withdrawal period, you'll notice a positive difference.

o You might like to consider avoiding of minimizing potential headache triggering

foods, especially those containing MSG, nitrites and nitrates (cured meats),

tyramines (aged cheese, wine, beer, and processed meats), sulphites (dried

fruits, condiments, and wine), and salicylates (tea, vinegar, and some fruit).

See the physio

Treat musculoskeletal problems. If your back or neck are misaligned, or you'resuffering from poor posture and muscle tension, it's important to fix this source of pain.

While you can try to improve your musculoskeletal problems through exercise such as

stretching, yoga,pilates, etc., it is usually important to see a specialist such as a

physiotherapist, chiropractor, or osteopath to assess and treat your condition.[23]

See your dentist

See your range of health professionals. If you're experiencing problems in other partsof your head, it can be a good idea to get help that might alleviate the headache. For

example:

o See yourdentist: If you have jaw misalignment, tooth decay, abscesses, or post-

extraction infection, these can be a source of headaches.o See your optician: If you need glasses but it has gone undiagnosed, your

eyestrain could be causing unnecessary headaches. Go to the eye doctor right

away.

o See your ear, nose and throat specialist: If you have untreated infections,

perforations, or other problems with your ears, nose, and throat, these could

cause headaches.

Calm down. If you're angry, irritable, frustrated, etc., you may be building up dailymuscle tension to a point where it has become unmanageable and causes headaches.

Seek professional counseling or psychological help for mapping out some fruitful ways

to manage your emotions if they're dominating your approach to life every day.

o If you clench your jaw or grit your teeth, make an effort to relax your face. Try

yawning to reduce facial tension.

o Practice relaxation exercises before stress-producing events like exams, getting

married, taking a driver's test, etc.

EditTips

Having pre-made meals in the freezer can be a huge relief if you have regular

tension headaches. This removes a source of stress if you're expected to make

dinner, as all you need to do is heat up the meal while you're resting. This alone

can be enough to draw off an evening headache after a day's work, as you can

take the time to rest peacefully instead of trying to prepare a meal.

Don't be afraid to withdraw from other people to rest. Remaining around people

and trying to stay perky when you've got a headache can worsen it. You'll be

better company after some rest.

If possible, undo any tight ponytails or plaits and let your hair loose

Pamper yourself with a bath or shower - it makes you feel more refreshed.

Rub tiger balm on your temples. The menthol might be able to distract your

senses and help alleviate the pain.

If it's a sinus headache, try eating a spoonful of honey made in your local area

every day. While it won't help immediately, it might help to build up your immunity

from local pollens.

Avoid elevating your head when resting for a headache

keep it as level withyour body as possible.

If you get migraines frequently, as well as working out a plan with your doctor, try

avoiding trigger foods such as cheese or chocolate. Eating and sleeping regularly

is also important to ward off migraines.[24]

Visit the bathroom. If you haven't already done so, sometimes a trip to the

bathroom can alleviate a headache!

Relax your tongue. Having your tongue on the roof of your mouth can cause

headaches. Keep your tongue off the roof of your mouth, and the pain from your

headache should decrease.

For some individuals, CFLs (compact fluorescent light bulbs) may cause

headaches; try changing them out for incandescent or LED lights if you find thatworking near CFLs causes headaches.
