Get Rid Of A Tension Headache Forever Using Natural Methods

The only techniques that can permanently get rid of tension headaches are natural treatments that directly address the causes of the headaches rather than treating the symptoms.

What is a tension headache?

Recurring or chronic headaches of this nature are related to tension generally in the upper back and especially in the neck area.

The causes of the tension are generally related to either underlying stress that is not being dealt with consciously and is manifesting itself as pain in the body, or due to poor posture.

Stress, muscular tension or spasms cause the neck to prevent correct blood flow to the brain.

This can result in regular headaches occurring causing tiredness, discomfort and sometimes a lack of energy.

In order to find a solution, you should ask yourself what the cause of your recurring headaches is, and then choose a solution according to the cause.

1. The cause of your headaches is bad posture

To get rid of tension headaches you need to understand how it may be happening to you.

Bad posture combined with everyday stress, working long hours in front of a screen and failing to relax properly can create a tight group of knotted muscles at the base of the neck.

Incorrect posture can also generate extra stress and tension due to you not breathing correctly and as a result, further worsen your headaches.

The solution for bad posture

In order to improve your posture, you need the best sitting chair possible.

Whether it’s at work or at home eating your dinner, or both, an ergonomic knee chair is the best solution for strengthening your back and keeping your neck and spine straight.

With an ergonomic knee chair, you’ll feel that your back stays straight naturally, without any effort.

After a few weeks, you’ll walk with a straight back, be able to sit straight and you’ll get rid of tension headaches that were plaguing you.

This chair is an investment on your health and will save you a fortune in doctor’s fees, painkillers and massages.

2. The cause of your headaches is your pillow

Many people don’t realise that their pillow is poorly designed and is causing them to become susceptible to suffering from muscular tension while they sleep.

Body positions while sleeping are a major cause of recurring and chronic headaches and especially muscular tension in the neck.

You may notice tension around your neck area occurring when you change your bed or your pillow, to find that you suddenly have troubles sitting up straight or simply that you get tightness in your neck.

The solution for a new pillow

Your pillow is something very important to your life. The reason why it is so important, is that you spend one third of your life with your head on your pillow.

Surely, if you’re going to be spending one third of your life lying on that pillow, you need to make it a good one.

There are pillows that are especially designed to accomodate your head and have helped numerous sufferers to get rid of tension headaches.

The The Cervical Linear Traction Neck Pillow is the best example of a pillow that helps thousands of people with neck pain to get relief.

3. The cause of your headaches is your mind

A friend of mine was suffering from neck pain, upper back tension and headaches. He was also grinding his teeth regularly at night.

Having found out that hypnotherapy could resolve both back pain and teeth grinding, he resolved to book an appointment with a local hypnotherapist.

He had suffered from pain for years, was spending a fortune on massages and had completely given up on painkillers, which did nothing to address the root cause. Doctors hadn’t provided him with any solution either.
