Headache Prevention Tips

A major cause of headache is chronic stress and related emotions such as frustration and irritability. One main body area affected by chronic stress is the upper back, neck and shoulders, which become tight, tense and painful. Slow, deep breathing exercises are a superb way to calm your mind, relax your body, reduce the effects of chronic stress and improve your ability to deal with it.

Chinese Herbal Remedies: There are many Chinese herbal headache remedies that have been proven to be safe and effective over centuries of continuous use in China. While the traditional way to take them is by boiling the ingredients in water and drinking the brew as a tea, these days they are available in pill, tablet, powder and granule form. Unless you have knowledge of TCM principles and diagnostics, though, you should consult a trained practitioner of Chinese herbal medicine or acupuncture to see which particular remedy is best for you.

Acupressure: Acupressure is very easy to do – locate specific points on your body (using an acupressure point’s chart or video) and press and rub them with your fingers for 1-2 minutes, several times a day. Common acupressure points for headache are located at the base of your skull, on your temples and on your hands and feet. These are the same points that are needled in acupuncture – the difference is you can do acupressure yourself, making it a convenient way to relieve and prevent headaches.

Diet and Lifestyle: There is no single diet suitable for everyone. However, there are some general TCM dietary guidelines that can benefit most headache sufferers, especially those with chronic stress headaches. According to TCM, chronic stress mainly affects the liver. Foods and drinks which aggravate the liver include anything that is fried or spicy, as well as alcohol, coffee and drugs. TCM recommends a simple, bland diet for best health. This means fresh, natural foods and drinks and meals that are not overly cooked. Steaming and stir-frying are recommended cooking methods as they cook quickly and lightly while still retaining nutrients.

As with herbal remedies, a TCM practitioner can give you specific dietary advice that matches your age, body type, state of health and other factors unique to you. Apart from adjusting your diet it’s important to maintain a balanced lifestyle. Irregular meal times and sleeping times, overworking and excess mental irritation, for example, can all cause and/or aggravate headaches.

  • Only 30 percent of people with recurring headaches seek help, in many cases due to fear of being accused of “faking” the headache or being thought mentally ill.

Headaches can be caused by many illnesses. There are several types of headaches, including migraine, tension, and cluster headaches. Headaches can also result from sinusitis, trigeminal neuralgia, giant cell arteritis, or brain tumors. The treatment of the various kinds of headaches varies depending on the kind of headache and the severity of the pain. Often, non-opioid medicines are used. But, in some cases, opioid therapy is needed.

Migraines are often on one side of the head. They can be associated with nausea and vomiting, photophobia (light hurting the eyes), phonophobia (sound hurting the ears), and scintillating scotomata (parallel lines that vibrate at the edges of objects, especially at the borders between light and dark places). Sometimes these auras appear before the headache starts and alert you that a migraine is coming. Migraine pain can vary in intensity from mild to severe. There are many specific medications for migraine. Sumatriptan (Imitrex) is particularly useful for some, but not all, migraine sufferers.

Cluster headaches come in groups, sometimes several times a day, lasting for days to weeks. Many cluster headaches are severely painful. Oxygen therapy may be helpful for some cluster headaches.

Sinusitis can cause facial pain and is frequently worse in the morning. Sinus pain may respond to antibiotic treatment along with decongestants. Sometimes sinus surgery is needed.

Trigeminal neuralgia is actually a peripheral neuropathy (nerve pain) that is severe. It occurs on one side of the head and face and has a “trigger point,” usually on the side of the face, which causes intense pain if it is touched. Anticonvulsants (antiseizure medicine) are often helpful for this type of pain.
