How to Fight Stress Headaches

If you have a high stress level (and who doesn't these days), you probably have a problem with headaches. Stress headaches happen to everyone but they happen to some people more than others. If you have very severe or frequent headaches, you should ask your doctor to help you feel better but, in the meantime, you might some relief by trying one or more of the home remedies we'll talk about in the paragraphs below.

The best treatment for the stress or tension headache is to take aspirin or another over the counter medication. There are many choices here, and some will work better than others depending on the kind of headache you have and how severe it is. You need to understand, though, that taking meds for your headaches can often call things called "rebound" headaches. This is the name for the headache that comes back after your meds wear off. That's the reason that it is a bad idea to exceed the recommended dose for any medication that you take for your headaches without first asking your doctor whether doing so would be wise.

Acupuncture and other forms of healing that make use of pressure points can be a fantastic way to clear up chronic headaches. If there's a good acupuncture practitioner in your area, you may want to consult with him or her, as this can be a way to reduce your overall stress level as well as curing your headaches. It's possible that you'll need a series of sessions. A more cost effective and easier thing to do is to learn about your hands and feet's pressure points. One of these systems is reflexology and you can find all sorts of information about it online. You could also try EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) which involves tapping on a series of specific points on your body and that can be very useful in relaxing or stopping stress headaches altogether.

A foot bath with hot water is a remedy that's often effective if you frequently get stress headaches. You don't need to have any fancy equipment for your foot bath; you can use a specified foot spa if you want (which can be bought both on and offline) or you can use a bucket or even your own bathtub. This is a great treatment to use in the evening or nighttime before you head to bed. When you buy a foot spa you can set it up at your own comfort level but if you do your own prep, remember that you want water that is hot but not scalding. Keep your feet in the hot water for ten or fifteen minutes. As well as being great for your feet, it's great for your whole body and might even stop the headaches altogether. You can use a lot of different methods for treating your stress headaches, why not try one listed here. Most of all, the best way to prevent these kinds of headaches from happening is to learn how best to relax even in scenarios that normally make you tense. It might be difficult, but you can teach yourself how not to let your life stress you out too much. There are many benefits to reducing stress in your life, and not getting so many headaches is one of them.
