5 Tips to Relieve Headaches

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.
