Headache Cures Helped Me Get My Life Back!
Do headaches seem to rule your life? They did for me until I started to look for headache cures! Regularly at work I would find myself trying to ignore a nagging headache, all the while focusing more and more on it rather than my work! It has never been a good thing to under-perform at work, but in these days of ever more targets to reach you can't afford to let your performance to suffer.
It wasn't only at work, come the weekend and a chance relax with a lie in on a Sunday it seemed almost inevitable that the day would be blighted by yet another headache, often a migraine headache.
I could sort of understand the tension headaches during the week, but why on a relaxing Sunday too? Do you like taking drugs to cure headaches? If you're like me you don't like to reach for the "pills" at the first sign of a headache, this was partly due to the fact that I don't like taking drugs of any sort and partly because sometimes the headache wouldn't develop, or if it did I could literally work through it and it would spontaneously go, in which case I then felt really pleased with myself and justified for not having taken the drugs! Don't like taking drugs, but why not? Now the medical profession tell us there are good reasons that we shouldn't regularly take painkillers for headaches! The reason we shouldn't be taking painkillers if we suffer regular headaches is something they have termed "rebound headaches".
It now turns out that frequently taking medication for regular headaches causes headaches! How does this happen or make sense? Well, as I'm sure you are aware of, some drugs are addictive, some are very addictive and can cause serious problems, others however are much less so and are only addictive in that we suffer some short-term withdrawal symptoms when we stop taking them.
Ironically although we may be taking "headache drugs" to stop headaches, one of the withdrawal symptoms can be headaches! Thus we can end up in a vicious circle of taking drugs to stop headaches that then cause headaches! The secret for headache cures or relief? I cured my tension headaches with some very simple exercises that only take a few minutes to perform and require no special equipment, you just need a little space and some privacy if you're self-conscious.
One such exercise is the shoulder roll, usually easiest done standing, the chairs arms get in the way otherwise.
This involves slowly rotating each shoulder in circles, starting small and getting bigger with each rotation, first in one direction for 8 rotations, then repeat in the opposite direction.
Do this for both shoulders, not at the same time as this can pinch tissue between the shoulder blades, repeat up to 3 times daily, this can help with tension headaches.
But the best thing you can do to cure headaches is to learn about the types of headache and what might cause them, finding the food trigger stopped my weekend migraines, then look at appropriate cures or ways of getting relief that you might not realize are out there! Warning, cures won't come to you, you have to find them!
