1. Breathing techniques - During a Headache, Close your Right nose and breath through your Left nose. In about 5 mins, your Headache will go. Continue the exercise for One month. Ideally option is to do it on Fresh air.

If you feel TIRED, just reverse, Close your Left nose and breathe through your right nose. After a while, you will feel your mind is Refreshed.

2. In September 2012, Research was published which provided Evidence that Regular use of Painkillers actually Caused more HEADACHE. Natural Painkillers are: Turmeric (1/4 teaspoon per day or so ideally added to meals after food cools down a bit), Ginger (1-2 teaspoons daily to diet for general Muscle pain), Horseradish (Sinus pain – 1 teaspoon twice daily).

3. Find some Feverfew (plant).. 30g of fresh or dry flowers + 400-500ml of Boiling water ---> steep (boil on very Low level) for 10 min then strain. Drink Half a cup 2 times a day as needed.

8. Lavender.. Place dried Lavender flowers in sachets or herbal hot packs to use when headaches start… Alternatively, make a Tea by steeping One teaspoon of the dried flowers in one cup of boiling water for 15 minutes. Sip slowly throughout the day and sweeten if desired.

9. Chocolate, Alcohol, Caffeinated beverages, Sodas, Refined Sugars (!), genetically modified foods, Gluten-containing grains , aged Cheeses and Peanuts are some of the more common food culprits that may cause Migraines.

10. Almonds.. act as a Pain Reliever because it contains something called Salicin, which is also an agent in popular over the counter killers. Though (!), people who suffer from Migraines may find that Almonds are a trigger food. So try Both ways, either adding them (almonds) or removing them from your diet completely. See which way words for you.

11. Avoid Food Flavor Enhancers and Artificial sweeteners..They could be hidden under names: Gelatin, Yeast extract, Anything “hydrolyzed”, Textured protein. Be extra cautious around Chinese food, processed meats, canned vegies, gravy/soup/dip mixes, and soy-based items.

Sweeteners such as Aspartame, Saccharin and Splenda can be replaced with Stevia, a naturally sweet herb with no known side effects and no calories (go for Only Stevia in a Leave form and avoind it in a tablet form.. Stevia in a leave or leave powdered form can be bought in some drug stores or in D-mart).

Food which usually contains Aspartame - Diet sodas, Some yogurts, Chewing gum, Cooking sauces, Crisps, Tabletop sweeteners, Drink powders, Flavored Water, Sugar-free products, Cereals.

You can wrap ice or a bag of frozen vegetables in a towel… Apply heat to the back of the neck with a hot shower, bath, or heating pad. Heat can loosen up the muscles that tighten with tension headaches.

14. Drink up.. As soon as your head starts to hurt, drink a tall glass of water, and then sip throughout the day.

15. Improve your Posture..it can make all the difference in the world when it comes to Tension-Type Headaches. Try using an Ergonomic chair if you’re sitting down a lot, and make a conscious effort to sit up tall but relaxed, with your shoulders back, your chest open, and your neck not sticking too far forward.

16. Exercise increases blood circulation and the Fresh air will also help to Relieve Headache. Also, it allows the whole body to Relax. Most tension headache sufferers find immense Relief with the addition of Exercise. Do Yoga.

Instead you can use 1) Add a quarter cup of Baking Soda to wash cycle to soften clothes 2) Add a quarter cup of White Vinegar to Wash OR Rinse cycle to Soften clothes (don’t (!!) use Bleach at the Same time) 3) Dry your clothes OUTSIDE on a Clothesline to Eliminate Static cling 4) Install a Water Softener.
