Headache cures and remedies

Natural Headache Cure using Lemon

There are several natural remedies for various types or headaches.

The juice of three or four slices of lemon should be squeezed in a

cup of tea and taken by the patient for treating this condition. It

gives immediate relief. The crust of lemon, which is generally thrown

away, has been found useful in headaches caused by heat. Lemon crusts

should be pounded into a fine paste in a mortar and applied as

plaster on the forehead. Applying the yellow, freshly pared-off rind

of a lemon to each temple will also give relief.

Cure Headaches naturally using Apple

Apples are valuable in curing all types of headaches. After removing

the upper rind and the inner hard portion of a ripe apple, it should

be taken with a little salt every morning on an empty stomach in such

cases. This should be continued for about a week.

Natural Headache remedy using Henna

The flowers of henna have been found valuable in curing headaches

caused by hot sun. The flowers should be rubbed in vinegar and

applied over the forehead. This remedy will soon provide relief.

Headache remedy using Cinnamon

Cinnamon is useful in headaches caused by exposure to cold air. A

fine paste of this spice should be prepared by mixing it with water

and it should be applied over the temples and forehead to obtain

relief.

Headache treatment using Marjoram

The herb marjoram is beneficial in the treatment of a nervous

headache. An infusion of the leaves is taken as a tea in the

treatment of this disorder.

Headache treatment using Rosemary

The herb rosemary has been found valuable in headaches resulting from

cold. A handful of this herb should be boiled in a litre of water and

put in a mug. The head should be covered with a towel and the steam

inhaled for as long as the patient can bear. This should be repeated

till the headache is relieved.

Water treatment

Other helpful measures in the treatment of headaches are a cleansing

enema with water temperature at 37 degree C, a cold throat pack,

frequent applications of towels wrung out from very hot water to the

back of the neck , a cold compress at 4.4 degree C to 15.6 degree C

applied to the head and face, or an alternate spinal compress. Hot

fomentations over the abdominal region just before retiring relieve

headaches caused by stomach and liver upsets.

Hot foot bath

Hot foot baths are also beneficial in the treatment of chronic

headaches. The patient should keep his legs in a tub or bucket filled

with hot water at a temperature of 40 degree C to 45 degree C for

fifteen minutes every night before retiring. This treatment should be

continued for two or three weeks.

****** I have also read a COOL foot bath. My acupuncturist/TCM

reccommends ICE COLD water, to draw down the Chi from your head....
