There are now many alternative and natural treatments to
help people who suffer from headaches and migraines. In this article, I write
about these type of remedies and also recommend the types of food people should
avoid if they are always suffering from headaches and migraines.
There are many causes of headaches including:
Excessive amounts of alcohol
Over eating
An incorrect posture
Too much stress
Problems with teeth
Problems with a person eyes
It is important that we learn to deal with stress and to
become more care-free. A lot of people react to stressful situations by turning
to alcohol. This can only add to their problems and can lead to even more
headaches.
If the person drinks to excess they may wake up with a
hangover. If this happens to you I would advise you to drink plenty of water as
you are likely to be dehydrated. Vitamin C is also useful to remove the alcohol
quicker from your body.
If you are unable to live a stress-free life, it may be
worth looking at alternative treatments. These are the types of natural therapy
I would advise:
Osteopathy
Acupuncture
Homeopathy
Yoga
Tai Chi
The Alexander Technique
There are also certain foods and drinks which are a must to
avoid for people who have regular headaches. These include:
Citrus fruits such as oranges and grapefruit
Chocolate
Cheese
Alcohol
Migraines
Headaches are annoying enough, however migraines can be
severely painful. I have suffered with migraines for a number of years and have
now studied the subject seeking a cure. I am determined to not have to live my
life, having these migraines regularly throughout the year, as the pain is
unbearable. Maybe I am a bit of a wimp, but they really do cause me a lot of
grief.
There are a number of reasons or causes for migraines. These
include bright lights, certain foods or loud noises. I have to say that I think
my own migraines are caused by stress and anxiety. I have always been a worrier
and have suffered with a low self-esteem for most of my life. There are many
reasons for this lack of confidence, which I will not bore you with at this
stage.
I decided that I needed to deal with my stress as well as learning
about how to eradicate the migraines.
I am now able to relax and have accepted that no one person
is perfect. I realise that I will make mistakes and as long as I learn from
them, then that is OK. Worrying does not help me in any case therefore I have
to stop doing it.
I have also used alternative health therapies to help me to
reduce my stress including:
Herbal remedies
Meditation
Yoga
Tai Chi
I still have headaches as I have to admit that I do like to
have a few beers around once a week. I have not however had a migraine for
around nine months now. I am a lot happier in life and have learnt how to
manage my levels of stress. I regularly meditate and use other natural remedies
as mentioned above. This is what has helped me and I hope it helps you to.
