Anyone have a good home remedy for headaches?? I've been getting lots of headaches lately and I really want to avoid taking aspirin and advil. Thanks
Dark chocolates or juice should help you for occasional headaches. However, if you having a lot of them lately, i would recommend a complete physical check up.
Go to see a doctor and tell him about you headache and symptoms, maybe you have migraine. I usually sit down/ lay down and massage my head, that seems to help. Take a rest and dont stress so much =)
mine have been sharp headaches that lasts for a very short time. i almost think i am fighting the flu cause i get dizzy easily and get the urge to throw up. not doctor worthy yet!!! i'll wait a week and see what happens! thanks for the advice!
From your symptoms, i think you should go see the doctor as soon as possible. How is your dietary intake? A well balanced diet of fluids, fruits, vegetables and meat?
i agree with all the above, u should def go and get it checked by a doctor. besides there is no harm in seeing the doctor.
i hear what you are all saying but i'm going to wait the week first but in the meantime i want to get some r&r. I am in some definite need of that. life has been going at a very fast pace for the last fews weeks and i haven't been able to get much sleep. i just made some lifestyle changes too so i think my body is adjusting. i'm also waiting a week because i am waiting to see if i am pregnant. if i am i need to go see the doctor if i'm not i still need to see the doctor to run some tests (been trying for over a year and still no luck!). so either i need to go might as well wait!! thanks for the concern everyone!!!!
If you are suspecting to be pregnant, dont eat chocolates. Also, you should wind down a bit from the fast pace routines and make sure to eat/ drink properly, get sufficient rest and stay away from coffee, alcohol and such.
For headaches I heard that taking omega 3 fatty acids can help. You could take fish pills, flax seed, or eat fish such as salmon that are high in DHA. DHA is also good for birth development but you should check with a doctor as to how much DHA you should have in your diet.
dont eat chocolate?? how comoe??? i dont like chocolate anyways but now i'm curious this is a good one. i eat flax seed products now for my grain intake but i didnt know about it helping with headaches...... i knew this would be a good thread to start!!!!!
^^ When I took a nutrition class the teacher told us that it is not a good idea to take aspirin or advil too much because it can damage your body. She told us that omega 3 will help with the headaches. It sounds as though you have symptoms for migraine. This website below shows what the symptoms are and says (under diet) that omega 3's can help with the migraines: http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/migraine-headache-000072.htm Its kind of a long read, there are also other alternatives to helping you with your headaches on the website.
pregnant woment can't eat chocolates?? really?? i only know they can't have mint n shouldn't b near lavender either... but but but but CHOCOLATES?!?!?! i'm not glad i ain't ever gonna get pregnant have u took a fertility test yet babs?? n dun stress out too much abt it... it'll only make it worst... n u need good rest too... so smash ur alarm clock n have a good snooze -_- zz ZZ
i heard about lavender as well. too early to take the test, i need to wait till next week. i'm not stressed over it, we havent really been trying the last few months cause i've been working so much but now things are starting to lighten up. i wish i could smash the alarm clock!!! but..... i need to be up at 430am for work and the alarm clock is unfortunately my best friend. i do have to admit though that some of my friends are getting pregnant and they dont even want a baby yet and here i am wanting one so bad and yet i cant get pregnant!!! even my sister beat me to it and she had the baby already!!!!!!!! kindof frustrating but at the same time i get to enjoy the little bit of sleep i do get right now!!!! i've come to terms with it though, when it happens is when it happens. just sucks having to have to wait. besides headache remedies, anyone know of fertility rememdies?????? might as well ask!
Not too sure about fertility remedies but I know folic acid is very important for child development. You can find folic acid in green leaf vegetables. Here is a website on folic acid and the dangers of not getting enough folic acid: http://www.kidshealth.org/parent/pregnancy_newborn/pregnancy/folic_acid.html
that is the one thing i am doing. i take the recommended dosage by doctors for that. but i heard on the news that the recommended dosage up to 3mg now versus 1mg. Folic acid helps to prevent neural tube defects and women should start taking it 3 months prior to their actual pregnancy. aside from getting the proper amount of rest i am pretty much doing what i should be doing. i eat a balanced meal, i drink lots of water. i dont drink or smoke, hardly drink coffee anymore and i get my diary. i think i just need some sleep which i will do now.... need to be up in 9 hours for work! (9 hours will be a new blessing, normally i get 5) thanks again everyone!!! till tomorrow.......
making babies isn't just all abt u... ur hubby needs to b healthy too... if ur gonna take a fertility test make sure he takes one too... need to make sure his soldiers r healthy n swimming up to speed... lack of sleep, smoking or his diet mite have effects too... good luck!!! try hard!! enjoy the process!!! -lol
@ babs and dawn Moderate amount is fine but it would be best altogether to scratch that out right away.
