What are the causes?
Headaches and migraine are usually the result of an
activity or even a habit you do every day. It’s helpful for you to find the
factors causing your migraine. With that information you can get the more
effective medicine for your migraine relief.
Some factors that cause migraine can be related with
caffeine, alcohol, stress, smoking, among others.
As you know, migraine has no cure but there are
medications to control the symptoms and decrease pain which can be combined
with alternative medicine and some changes on lifestyles.
In order to obtain migraine relief you can try the hot
and cold method. For some people, cold water can be used for sponging on the
head and in that way it relieves their migraine. For some people, on the other
hand, hot water is more effective.
Relaxing also can be helpful for your migraine relief.
There are different techniques that can help relieve stress and improve the
effects of treatments. We recommend two: contract and relax all parts of your
body, concentrating on one at a time. Then, in a comfortable position rest all
your body (physically and mentally).
Moreover, control your stress. Anxiety and prolonged
fatigue are two factors that increase migraine. Also, obsessive and
perfectionist personalities are more vulnerable to it.
Migraine relief can also be maintained by sleeping
correctly (sleep 8 hours a day), moderating the alcohol and avoiding dangerous
pills (such as oral contraceptives or estrogen drugs for cardiovascular
conditions). Also, yoga is a good activity to avoid strong headaches.
