☼ Things to do when you have a headache ☼

This chapter will include different tips that are helpful for when you have a headache.

01. Drink water - most headaches are caused by dehydration

02. Eat watermelon - watermelon is 92% water so again with the dehydration

03. Apply ice to your temples - the artery that supplies blood to the lining of the brain sits behind the thin bone at the temple. When you're having a migraine, the lining gets inflamed, so lowering the temperature of the blood passing through that area could relieve some of the throbbing.

04. Drink a cup of coffee - headaches are often caused by the expanding of blood vessels. The caffeine in coffee constricts these blood vessels, bringing them back down to normal size.

05. Massage peppermint oil to your temples, forehead and the back of your jaw - peppermint oil has been shown to promote blood flow, which might get things moving in your head.

06. Eat something spicy - sprinkle some cayenne pepper onto your food. Cayenne contains an ingredient called capsaicin, which has some control over our pain perception.

07. Drink ginger tea - ginger has anti-inflammatory properties that could alleviate some pain.

08. Stretch - headaches are often caused by muscle tension. Simple neck stretches like these could help relieve some of the tension.

09. Breath deeply - when you feel pain, your body gets stressed. Deep breaths will help you relax and could ease some of the tension.

10. Take a hot shower - let the water fall on the back of your neck. Heat relaxes tense muscles, which could also alleviate the pain caused by a headache.
