Home remedies for headaches caused by heat

Pavan Naidu

Every Summer brings not only sunshine and warmth but also an increase in headaches for many individuals.

According to IMD, some parts of India are likely to experience extreme heatwaves this summer. So here are some effective home remedies to try for for headaches.

Stay Hydrated: One of the major reasons for experiencing headaches is dehydration. During the summer season, make sure you drink an adequate amount of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and prevent headaches.

Cool compress: Applying a cool compress to your forehead or the back of your neck can help reduce the intensity of a headache. The cold sensation can provide immediate relief and soothe the discomfort.

Rest in a dark room: Bright lights and heat can increase headaches. So, find a quiet, dark room to rest and relax. Dimming the lights can help ease the headache.

Peppermint Oil: Peppermint oil has cooling properties that can help reduce headaches. Gently, massaging a few drops of peppermint oil onto your forehead can provide a refreshing sensation and ease the pain.

 Herbal Teas: Certain herbal teas like chamomile or ginger tea can have calming effects on the body and help reduce headache symptoms. Enjoy a warm cup of herbal tea to relax and relieve the pain.
