When it comes to
sinus, allergy or cold headaches, fall can be the worst time of year for many
of us because that is when cold and flu bugs, molds and pollens are in full
force.
Our sinuses are
usually empty except for a thin mucous lining. However, colds, flu, molds and
allergens can assault our sinuses, causing them to swell and become congested,
resulting in painful headaches. If you’re suffering from headaches this fall
and don’t want to take prescription or over-the-counter medications, try these
natural remedies:
Natural Remedies
* Try the Clear
Approach - Clear Headache is a unique blend of herbs and homeopathic
ingredients specifically formulated to relieve common, everyday headache pain
without side effects or dependency. Clear Sinus & Ear is a gentle, safe and
effective formula of herbs and active homeopathic ingredients that provides
relief from symptoms caused by allergies, hay fever, sinus congestion and
colds. Try one or both of these solutions that work to stimulate the body’s
natural immune response for fast, safe and effective headache relief without
side effects.
* R&R - It’s not always easy or convenient to take
time out for rest and relaxation, but stress can trigger a sinus or cold
headache or make it worse. So if you can’t seem to shake your headache this
fall, try taking it easy by getting more sleep, and reduce the amount of
stressors in your life.
* Keep Your
Sinuses Healthy – You’re less likely to get cold or allergy headaches if you can
keep your sinuses clean and clear. Flush your sinuses once or twice a day with
saline solution using a neti pot or nasal irrigation system, drink plenty of
water for natural flushing, and enjoy a facial steam bath with a bowl of hot
water and a few drops of natural decongestant essential oil like eucalyptus or
peppermint.
* Avoid Headache
Triggers – dairy products, foods with MSG or processed sugar, and alcohol can
trigger or exacerbate allergy or sinus headaches. Avoid them during those times
your susceptible to headaches.
