When you have a headache and the pill you need isn’t at hand, the situation seems hopeless. But it isn’t so. There’s a scientific way to get rid of a headache called acupressure. Also there are several ways to get rid of a headache without medicine.
How to massage acupressure points
There are certain pressure points around your head and body, and you can help your headache go away just by massaging these points for 30 seconds to a minute.
Try taking electrolytes
A headache can mean that your body is running low on electrolytes. So, when your body turns on the pain, it’s basically trying to tell you to drink some water and eat a banana. Your body loses fluids and electrolytes, especially when you sweat. You’re going to want to make sure you stay hydrated when you’ve been working out. Otherwise, your body will let you know.
Try a Cold Pack
If you have a migraine, place a cold pack on your forehead. Ice cubes wrapped in a towel, a bag of frozen peas, or even a cold shower may lessen the pain. Keep the compress on your head for 15 minutes, then take a break for 15 minutes.
Try hot or cold
Cold compresses have been known to help with migraine headaches. People have been using ice to treat migraines for 150 years. Additionally, a study conducted in 2013 revealed that applying cold to your neck at the onset of a migraine can reduce pain. Conversely, applying heat has been known to help with tension and sinus headaches.
Get Some Caffeine
Have some tea, coffee, or something with a little caffeine in it. If you get it early enough, it could ease your headache pain. It can also help over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen, work better. Just don’t drink too much because caffeine withdrawal can cause its own type of headache.
Try eating some ginger
A study found that taking ginger can actually help ease migraine headaches. You can take it in the form of a tea, or in a pill. As an added bonus, it’ll soothe your tummy, too.
