TaskA. Headache Away

1. When you have a headache, do you rash to your medicine cabinet

or to the drugstore for a pain reliever

If so, you’re not alone. People in the United States spend over

$2 billion a year on nonprescription pain relievers such as aspirin,

acetaminophen and ibuprofen. Although effective, these pain relievers

are not without problems. For example, many pain relievers can have

serious side effects.

2. So, next time you have a headache, instead of rushing to the

drugstore, you might want to try one of these natural headache

remedies:

3. 1. Eat something soon. Preferably, eat something high in

protein, a substance necessary for growth, the “hungry headache”

caused by a drop in the blood-sugar supply, can be a real problem for

people not eating enough at mealtimes. Why protein

Because it rebuilds your blood-sugar supply little by little.

Sugary foods cause the blood sugar to go up rapidly and then drop

again just as fast.

4. 2. Wash it away. At the first sign of headache pain, get in

the shower, advises Dr. Augustus S. Rose of the UCLA (University of

California at Los Angeles) school of Medicine. First take a hot

shower even if the pain gets worse. This will make the blood vessels

open wide. Follow it immediately with a cold shower. Stay in until

you shiver. Repeat this process if necessary. This process works well

for a migraine headache. In a migraine headache, the blood vessels of

the head first contract (get smaller), then dilate (open up) and

press against the nerves. This pressure causes pain. Cold water makes

the blood vessels contract, which eases this pressure on the nerves.

5. 3. Freeze it out. If you are miles away from the shower, Dr.

Rose suggests putting crushed ice in your mouth. Again, this is

useful for a migraine headache. However, this remedy is inappropriate

for elderly or sick people.

6. 4. Think it away. Sit down or lie down and close your eyes.

Imagine that it is summer and you are on the beach. An ocean breeze

cools your face and your hands and arms grow warmer and warmer in the

hot sun. Your hands are really soaking up the sun. They become hot to

the touch. Minutes pass, and when you open your eyes, you are left

with very warm hands…and no headache. Thinking warmth into your

hands sends blood toward them and away from the head.

7. 5. Massage it out. Get to your head through your feet.

Massaging the lower part of your big toe and the area under all your

5

toes will lessen tension in the neck. This tension can often cause a

headache.

8. 6. Press it away. Some headaches can be cured by a sensitive

finger-pressure massage. The massage should be given on sensitive

“bigger” points. There are three pairs of points: one at each

temple, one under each shoulder blade, and a pair at the back of the

neck. Press each point for 15 to 30 seconds at a time. Remember to

press both points in a pair at the same time, not just one side.

Doing this will help the body’s nature painkillers start working. If

you are alone, press the thumb of one hand against the tender spot in

the “V” formed by the thumb and forefinger of the other hand.

9. Always see a doctor for continuous or recurring head pain.

the most.
