Best Fixes for Stress Headaches

Headaches are an extremely common complaint thanks to the increased stress of today's society. It is not normal, however, to have a throbbing headache every day or even every week. If you would like to be taught how to prevent or even cure your stress headaches, keep reading! Depending on what has been causing your headaches, some of these things will probably work better than others.

Aromatherapy is a quick, simple and yet easy way to effectively treat stress headaches. If you haven't ever used it before you might not believe that an odor can alleviate a headache but the truth is that our brain does respond differently to different odors and there are some that will actually help the brain stop feelings of pain. Peppermint oil is one of the best options for headaches and, thankfully is one of the least expensive options. Others you may want to try are eucalyptus, sandalwood and lavender. You can disperse the fragrance in a number of ways but it also works if you simply sniff the oil while it is in the bottle or by putting a few drops onto your forehead or wrists. You'll want to try a few different smells to make sure you've got the best one for your senses. Jaw area tightness is sometimes a cause of stress headaches. Few people realize just how tightly they clench their jaws when they feel tense and that can result in a bunch of different problems including stress headaches. In some cases you can even give yourself TMJ which is a condition that causes any movement of your jaw to be extremely painful. When this happens--and it happens quite a lot--it is important to talk to your doctor or dentist. However, even if you do not suffer from TMJ, your jaw could still be tight enough to be causing you stress headaches. The best cure for this particular headache cause is to be aware of the tension you have and make an informed effort to relax your jaw and the muscles surrounding it. You could also try putting something like a pen or pencil (or similarly structured item) between your teeth. Do not bite down on the object you choose, it is only meant to remind you to release the tension in the area.

If you're experiencing headaches from tension or stress, perhaps the most obvious way to keep them at bay is to lessen the stress in your life. This isn't always simple but if you make it one of your priorities you can do it. You can take a yoga class or learn how to properly meditate to help alleviate your stress. Relaxation exercises like deep breathing will help you relax and cure your headaches at the same time. If you've got lots of stress, you may not be able to get rid of all of it at the same time, but you can take steps toward that final goal. To conclude, stress headaches are really common and can be caused by a lot of different things like not sleeping enough, drinking too much, consuming too much caffeine, etc. You need to be able to properly identify the source of your headaches and address them, even when it means making changes that you might find inconvenient. It is important to cure your headaches because, after all, you don't want to have to suffer from them all the time.
