Headaches can sometimes seem to come randomly and sometimes last for hours at a time. Before you go reaching into your medicine cabinet for an over-the-counter pain reliever, try these 3 ways to alleviate your headache fast without medicine. Getting rid of your headache without the use of medicine can be done if you try following these three approaches.
3 Ways to Get Rid of a Headache Fast Without Medicine Naturally
1) Avoid all Exposure to Toxins (Tobacco, licit & illicit drugs, Caffeine or sweet drinks, alcohol, chemicals, odors, fumes, air pollution, mold, etc. Do not breathe, eat, or touch toxic materials. Some people are very sensitive to perfumes and cosmetics. Pet Dander can create allergic headaches and lead to viral or bacterial infections.
2) Keep the extremities warm at all times. Cold skin anywhere is abnormal and sends an ‘alarm message’ to the brain. Blood that would be in the large vessels of the extremities if they were warm is driven into the trunk and head because the blood vessels get narrow when chilled. Many people react to the chilling of the extremities by getting an elevation of the blood pressure, which may contribute to headaches. Weather changes, especially cold air can cause headaches in susceptible persons. This suggestion applies to those living in colder climates, as well as for Hawaii residents when we have extreme weather changes – temperatures dropping to the low 60’s and 70’s. (yes mainlanders – this is cold for us!)
3) Do not consume Heavy or Rich Food. Avoid too much protein, which can give the “protein hangover” or a ketosis headache. As adults, we can get by with less consumption! Use a limited quantity and a variety of foods at meals. Use proper food combining. Do not eat late in the evening. Some people can be allergic to dairy products.
