Alternative Therapies

Headaches can develop for a number of reasons, such as sinusitis, eyestrain, fatigue, stress, tension or empty stomach.

• If you have a headache, crush some onion and apply the paste on the head.

• Try Lavender Oil for relief from headaches. But make sure you don’t use a product with perfume oils or Lavender scented fragrance oils. If you are allergic to Lavender, don’t try this method.

• A great remedy for headaches is using an ice-cold piece of cooking foil on your forehead. The headache disappears in about two minutes.
