Relieves Headaches
Headaches are relatively common problems that people experience from time to time. Some factors that may lead to headaches are anxiety, stress, depression, hypertension, injury, and illness. The severity and frequency of the pain will depend on the headache type. For example, tension headaches are common and associated with muscles surrounding the jaw, face, and neck. Studies have found it to be linked to stress and can either be chronic or episodic.
Migraine headaches are also common. It’s considered a debilitating illness that affects sixteen percent of all Americans. It typically involves throbbing and pulsating on either side of your head. During episodes, those with migraines may experience lightheadedness, sensory disturbances, light sensitivity, and nausea. Apart from tension headaches and migraines, headaches may also be triggered by medication overuse and underlying conditions.
Treatment for headaches generally depends on their triggers. For mild and short-term headaches, rest and over-the-counter pain medications are enough: some report saunas, acupressure, and other alternative treatments to be helpful. Supplementation may also help if nutritional deficiencies are the cause of the headache. In severe cases, it’s best to work with a healthcare provider to determine the cause and treat the condition responsible for the headaches.
