Headaches can be due to a variety of reasons, to name just a few:
Seasonal changes, barometric pressure, humidity, temperature variations
Hormonal shifts within our bodies
Environmental and food allergies
Latent infection(s) in our ear, tooth, jaw, eye and other areas
Muscular-skeletal tension and imbalance
Poor hydration and eating habits
Lack of rest and valuable sleep
Stress, overthinking and generalized anxiety
It is important to know and understand what the "triggers" are so symptoms may be alleviated and lessoned.
Recommendations:
Acupuncture points - Large Intestine 4 and Liver 3 are two very common points to reduce headaches, neck/shoulder issues (see video above)
Adequate hydration, good nutrition with regular mealtimes
Taking time to unwind, relax and breathe
Prioritizing rest and maintaining a nourishing sleep routine
Stretching and moving our bodies, relaxing muscles, and alleviating tension
Controlling our thoughts with positive thinking, gratitude and learning to let go of matters that we have no control over
Ensuring that we address any areas where infection can reside ie. teeth
Treating ourselves with honour and love when hormonal shifts may occur
Being aware of the weather and environmental changes that can be supported with warmth, a dehumidifier, a fan/air conditioner, to counteract the negative effect that may impose upon your wellbeing
Headaches are a symptom of imbalance and a lack of harmony within our homeostatic systems.
Take the time to listen to your body and hear what it is saying ... as there may be a very simple solution to becoming headache free :)
Blessings.
