If you are suffering from
frequent headaches, there is always some medication available over the counter
which can help alleviate the pain that they bring.
But if you are the type of
person not usually keen on taking over the counter drugs, there are also some
home remedies that you can try out for your headache.
There is a wealth of
ingredients that you can find around your own home that can help you get rid of
a nasty headache.
Home remedies for your headache help you make use of more
natural methods of treating your headaches.
Here are some home remedy examples
that you can use to treat that headache.
Ginger
The ordinary ginger can help
you get rid of your nasty headache. It inhibits a substance known as
thromboxane A2 that prevents the release of chemicals that make your blood
vessels expand. With this effect, ginger is useful for treating migraines as
well as other types of headaches.
Eating crystallized ginger or adding some
grated ginger in your drink will be enough as a home remedy for your headache.
Using fresh or powdered ginger when cooking your food will do just as well.
Essential Oils
Peppermint oil is also a
well-known home remedy for headache. Just put a couple of drops of this
aromatic oil into a carrier oil or lotion and rub around your temple, neck and
forehead. But make sure that you do not get any of the oil too close to your
eyes as its vapors can be very overwhelming.
You can also place a drop or
two of peppermint oil on your handkerchief and sniff it to help you get rid of
your headaches. Peppermint oil has been known to relieve headaches caused by
too much tension.
Rosemary Oil can also be just as effective as a home remedy for
headaches. Rosemary oil helps relieve your headaches by helping keep the blood
vessels dilated.
Herbal Teas
Herbal teas have also been
known to provide headache relief. Peppermint tea and rosemary tea are examples
of popular home remedy beverages for your nagging headache.
Drinking a cup or
two of your favorite peppermint tea will do wonders for your headache.
Preparing a teaspoon of rosemary in a cup of hot water and steeped for about 10
minutes will also do as well.
Drinking this wonderful concoction three times a
day will help you get rid of that headache.
