• 2-Working and Leisure postures

Our body postures during work and leisure activities can easily contribute to strain on our head, neck, and shoulders, leading to headaches if blood supply to our brain is hindered. Sleeping with high raised pillow can also worsen this situation. We need to maintain proper postures during working, watching TV and using mobile phones while sitting leisurely.

• Managing Stress/Tension

Excessive stress, state of depression or anxiety can often lead to tension headaches which can affect anyone.

The associated pain is typically all over the head. This often disturbs our normal routine work.

• Quality Sleep

Often poor sleep quality has been found to be the trigger for headache. A quality sleep and deep relaxing sleep is essential to prevent the onset of a headache. This can be achieved by going early to bed, avoiding too much of screen time including mobile usage at least half an hour before going to bed and listening to meditation music. Inculcating a habit of getting up early before sunset and a fresh morning walk will also lead to mind relaxation.

• Avoid taking too much pain killer medicines

 It has been found that if you take too many pain-relieving drugs more than three times per week; you are at risk of developing a "rebound," or medication overuse, headache. As you continue taking pills more often, you'll experience a shorter period of relief afterwards. Eventually, you're pushing yourself to a condition that takes more weeks to wear off once you've stopped taking medication. So better way could be relying on natural pain reliever consisting of Herbs and can be freshly prepared like a soothing drink or tea before the onset of a headache.
