Home Remedies For Headache
Virtually everyone gets a headache at one time or another.
An estimated 17.6 percent of women and 6 percent of men
in the United States experience headaches on more than an
occasional basis, and some 20 million regularly experience
cluster and migraine headaches. Home remedies are the best
way to treat a headache because they are as common—and as
difficult to cure—as the common cold and flu. Common causes
of headache include stress; tension; anxiety; allergies;
constipation; coffee consumption; eyestrain; hunger; sinus
pressure; muscle tension; hormonal imbalances; temporomandibular
joint (TMJ) syndrome; trauma to the head; nutritional deficiencies;
the use of alcohol, drugs, or tobacco; fever; and exposure
to irritants such as pollution, perfume, or after-shave
lotions. Migraines result from a disturbance in the blood
circulation in the head. (See
MIGRAINE)
Headache experts estimate that about 90 percent of all
headaches are tension headaches and 6 percent are migraines.
Tension headaches, as the name implies, are caused by muscular
tension. Another type of headache is the cluster headache.
These are severe, recurring headaches that strike about
1 million Americans, and are widely considered to be the
most painful type of headache.
Using home remedies for headaches is a great way to get
rid of the pain without using drugs. Headaches can also
be a sign of an underlying health problem. People who suffer
from frequent headaches may be reacting to certain foods
and food additives, such as wheat, chocolate, monosodium
glutamate (MSG), sulfites (used in restaurants on salad
bars), sugar, hot dogs, luncheon meats, dairy products,
nuts, citric acid, fermented foods (cheeses, sour cream,
yogurt), alcohol, vinegar, and/or marinated foods. Other
possibilities to consider are anemia, boWel problems, brain
disorders such as tumors, bruxism (tooth-grinding), hypertension
(high blood pressure), hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), sinusitis,
spinal misalignment, toxic overdoses of vitamin A, vitamin
B deficiency, and diseases of the eye, nose, and throat.
Dehydration also can cause headaches—often accompanied by
a feeling of being flushed, a warm face, and a sense of
heaviness in the head.
Unless otherwise specified, the dosages recommended here
are for adults. For a child between the ages of twelve and
seventeen, reduce the dose to three-quarters the recommended
amount. For a child between six and twelve, use one-half
the recommended dose, and for a child under the age of six,
use one-quarter the recommended amount.
