Home Remedies for Headaches

home-remedies

Aches and pains – minor or major – are totally unbearable. Headaches can be quite excruciating and prove to be a nuisance, with one not being able to concentrate on anything. Unless the pain is due to other medical grounds, one can use home remedies for headaches.

Instead of running to the doctor or depending on over-the-counter drugs, herbal remedies can help cure headaches rather effectively. It may help to analyze the cause of headaches before venturing into possible treatment methods. While the reasons may vary, some of the most acceptable causes are stress, insomnia, sinuses, migraines, indigestion, being on an empty stomach too long, heatstroke, dental issues and others causes.

4 Home Remedies for Headaches

  • To begin with if you feel that the headache is too strong and could be for other reasons than mentioned above, you may want to make an appointment with the doctor. Try drinking plenty of water and get some rest. Often relaxation helps to de-stress and relieves you of a headache.
  • Gentle massaging at the temples and the nape of the neck also helps. Use some distressing oils for massaging the temples.
  • If you feel that your headache is due to a poor diet, adjusting your diet or balancing it out helps. Often indigestion and acidity may be a potent cause for headaches. Antacids or medications to aid digestion also work wonders.
  • Aromatherapy is an age old practice that also helps cure headaches. Use of essential oils with lavender, jasmine, eucalyptus, rosemary, peppermint help to relieve one of headaches. It also calms you down and relaxes you totally. Often these oils also help induce sleep and therefore work as an external nerve relaxant.

Sometimes headaches may also be attributed to dental issues. If the headache persists and is accompanied by dental problems, you may want to consult your dentist instead of trying home based remedies.

She had always wanted a new smile for graduation. Nicole had worked her whole school life to become a lawyer and she wanted a smile to match her academic accomplishment. She had some size discrepancies and positioning of her teeth. So, after sending in a Smile Virtual consult and looking at her personal video she knew what she wanted to do. We decided to have 10 conservative veneers done to widen her smile and correct the tooth size she was concerned about. Her graduation pictures were beautiful.

Nicole had braces when she was younger and also had some gum surgery that left some scarring. She sent me a Smile Virtual consult request to see if there was anything possible to correct her smile. I was able to describe what was possible in her personal video. She never thought that what I described was possible. She decided to move ahead after her consultation. We were able to correct the past orthodontic care and gum treatment with a gum lift and 10 veneers. She had a beautiful result for her wedding pictures

She had seen all the other patients we worked with on Instagram. She really liked what she saw, and wanted to know more. She clicked the link in my Bio, submitted a selfie smile, and I sent her a personal video through Smile Virtual. I went through the veneer process and examples of other smiles, and how much things would cost. She liked what she saw and asked to schedule an appointment. We delivered 10 veneers other top teeth and 8 veneers on the bottom.

She had a nice wide smile, but her teeth always looked small. She had tried whitening, but that didn’t achieve the look she wanted. After going through the details of her smile on the Smile Virtual consult, she saw how her gums were creating asymmetries. She decided that she wanted to have 12 veneers with a gum lift.
