What
are natural remedies for
headache? Why should you use
medications as last option?

When
you have a slight headache
you should not take medication immediately.
Taking medication for even
a slightest headache is not
for your body for two
reasons:
1.)
Intoxication - every
medication is a toxin at
same time. Medication
substance may help you
with headache, but if you
take it excessively it can
make you accumulate toxins
in your body. This can
reflect on other organs (
kidneys, liver, ... )
2.)
You are getting used to
it. In time, if you take
medications on regular
basis you will get use to
the it’s effects and the
threshold of your body
requirement for medication
may increase. The
medication may appear
ineffective, so you will
be forced to increase
dose, or to switch to
stronger medication
formula. |
Simply,
minor headache can pass even
without medications. Even if you
feel the pain almost every day,
it is better to stick to some
rules that you can avoid nasty
headaches.
-
Drink enough water every day.
The quantity of water requires
from your body mass and your
physical and mental activity.
You should intake minimum 2-3
liters per day. In case that you
extensively exercise or you are
exposed to hot weather, the
quantity is even increased.
-
Detoxify your body with balanced
nutrition. Eat a lot of fruits
and vegetables. Fruits and
vegetables give you balanced
nutrition intake and detoxify
your body.
-
Exercise regularly, since
exercise is detoxifying your
body too, as well as increasing
blood circulation through the
whole body, including head. Sex
is a great exercise for blood
circulation.
-
When you sit on the bed or
chair always lean your head on
the backrest, in order to relax
your neck and prevent
unnecessary stretching. When you
do something on the computer
constantly change the position
of the head.
-
While writing or reading do
not lean too close to the paper,
always keep a certain distance.
Headaches often occur when the
head is bent for a long time.
Your bed should be a little
tougher. It is not healthy when
the pillow is thick and huge.
Huge pillow will make your neck
to be unnecessary bended, which
will prevent natural blood
circulation to your brain.
-
Mental activity like studying,
writing, or analyzing is energy
demanding. Brain is consuming
around 20% of energy that we
consume through food. When you
are mentally active take
additional amount of complex
carbon hydrates through fruits.
Do not forget to intake water.
-
While you are driving keep
your back always with seat
backrest, and rest your neck at
headrest.
These
simple advices will help you to
prevent and alleviate light
headaches. It is not necessary
to get used to medication in
case that you can solve it in
much more natural way.
