Tension headaches

January 21st, 2008 · No Comments · Health

There are some things you can do to help with those tension headaches:

1) improve your posture by distributing your weight on both feet. This induces muscle tension.

2) Exercise! It helps prevent and relieve the headaches by relaxing muscles. This releases natural painkillers.

3) Peppermint! Rubbing peppermint oil on your temples works as good as taking acetaminophen.

4) Black Bean Dip! Load with magnesium it makes people less prone to tension headaches.

5) Acupuncture! Slashes the tension headaches almost in half.

6) Take a hot shower- it relaxes those tight tense muscles, including the scalp and forehead

Most common causes of tension headaches are stress, depression, sleeping in a cold room, eyestrain, missed meals, standing or sitting in an awkward position for too long, and high blood pressure medications.
