Relieving Headaches



According to Paula Owens, author of The Power of Four - Your Ultimate Guide Guaranteed to Change Your Body and Transform Your Life, there are several things people can do to relieve headaches and even migraines.  Did you know that migraines affect about 9% of the US population which spends about $1 Billion annually on medical expenses?

Paula recommends 3 natural solutions to prevent headaches (diet, lifestyle and supplementation).  Below are just a few things that caught my attention.

Diet
Keep your water hydrated.  This is an easy thing to do and you can find water everywhere.
Eat diets low in carbs and high in protein.  That filet is sounding pretty good right about now!
If you have a headache, try eating 12-15 raw almonds.  That can help relieve a headache.  Who knew?


Lifestyle
Acupressure.  Without going to see a practitioner, Paula recommends, holding the area between the thumb and the index finger for 9-10 breathing cycles.
Aromotherapy. Peppermint, lavender and eucalyptus oils can be applied on the temple.
Physical therapies.  Tai Chi, reflexology and chiropractic treatments are also good therapies.


Supplemental Support

·        Butterbur(75mg twice daily), Feverfew and Ginger.  
·        Magnesium citrate, 400-600mg produced a 50% reduction in headaches. Those that suffer migraine headaches tend to be significantly deficient in magnesium.
·        Molybdenum
·        Omega-3s with GLA – EFA Sirt Supreme (6-15gm/day)
·        CoQ10, 150mg/day. Supplementation for 3 months resulted in a >50% reduction in headache days in 61.3% of 321 patients.
·        Probiotics
·        Riboflavin
·        Vitamins B2, B6, B12, folic acid
·        Vitamins C and E

Paula states that the above supplements can be helpful, but that they are specific to each individual.  I couldn’t have said that part better myself! 

With a customized supplement plan that takes into consideration one’s diet, exercise, lifestyle and other factors, we can not only defend ourselves from receiving headaches, but we can balance out our body and defend against other health issues.
