Home Remedies For Headaches

If you are experiencing a headache, and our clinic happens to be closed (we are open 7 days!), try one of these home remedies to help reduce the ache!

• Butterbur, a herb derived from plants in the genus Petasites
• Feverfew, A daisy-like flower native to Europe
• Peppermint oil, a culinary herb
• Magnesium, a mineral
• Coenzyme Q10, an enzyme found in mitochondria, the energy factories of our cells
• Vitamin B12

Consult with your physician before taking any of these supplements, as they can interact with medications to treat headaches or other conditions.

Activities can also go a long way to relieve headaches. Exercise is a common remedy by helping to reduce overall stress and reduce high blood pressure. Other activities to try:

• Meditation
• Deep breathing exercises
• Yoga
• Hypnosis

If these remedies don’t help, don’t despair, we are open 7 days a week!
