A Guide to Headache Remedies

Do you suffer from headaches? Then try one of these methods to get rid of them!
  1. Relaxation (before a headache happens, try stretching or deep breathing to relieve stress.
  2. Heat/Cold Therapy (with a headache try heating or cooling the hurt area. Both methods work, so use whichever one you want)
  3. Caffeine (during a mild headache, try sipping a cup of coffee. The caffeine helps calm your headache.)
  4. Peppermint Tea (during a headache with an upset stomach, try drinking some peppermint tea. It helps calm down your stomach, which may be the cause of your headache.)
  5. Over-the-counter meds (with a headache, we all know to try and take some Tylenol or Ibuprofen. Or Excedrin, since it has some caffeine in it)
  6. Acupuncture (with massive headaches comes the needles. Acupuncture's can reduce muscle tension and encourage the release of painkilling endorphins)
Of course, each treatment comes with either a warning or a recommended treatment. For acupuncture's, they say it will take at least 10 treatments to start feeling relief. For the caffeine treatment, it works better if you don't drink a cup of coffee every day. Really? Do any of these work over and over again? Probably not. I speculate about these methods.

    My favorite one is the caffeine one. I think there is something to this...I've had a headache and had caffeine and it was gone. :)
