Hey Cats,
Having a headache can be the worst feeling and I think ti is important we don't always
reach for tablets when we are struggling to shift that dull ache. I am all for natural ways to
relieve some pains so give some of these a go first.
Hydrate – Drink water. Many headaches are actually caused by mild dehydration. Make
sure that you are taking in enough water for your bodies needs and add drink some extra
water at the start of a headache. A good rule of thumb is if your pee is any darker than a
pale yellow you need more water.

Stretch – Slowly stretching your neck and shoulder muscles can help to reduce some of
the tension that can contribute to a headache. If you find you get tension headaches
regularly, make sure you take regular stretch breaks especially if you work at a computer or
do other work that requires you to be stationary for long periods of time.

chiropractor. Spinal manipulation can help relieve stress on the body and scientific studies

Take a Bath – Fill your tub with water that his warm to hot, but that will not burn your skill or
make you uncomfortable. Add 4 cups of Epson salt and a couple drops of eucalyptus,
peppermint and or lavender essential oil. Get in and relax. Bend your knees and scoot down
so that your neck, shoulders and head are floating in the tub. The Epson salt will help make
you more buoyant so your upper torso will float. If you don’t float add more salt. You want to
float for at least 10 minutes. The heat and essential oils will help ease your muscles and
increase blood flow and floating will put your neck and shoulders in a neutral position that
will allow your muscles to fully relax.
