• Supplements and herbal products have been shown to be effective in preventing migraines.In particular, magnesium supplements, riboflavin and the herb feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) may be worth trying if you suffer from migraines.
• Biofeedback and relaxation therapy have been shown to help relieve tension headaches. Biofeedback is a method of learning to regulate biological processes such as heartbeat, blood flow, and blood pressure. Relaxation therapy takes many forms, including meditation, visualization, and breathing exercises, which are most productive if practiced daily.
• Chiropractic manipulation has been shown to alleviate tension headaches caused by muscle strain brought on by poor posture. Some studies have shown spinal manipulation to result in better long-term benefits and fewer side effects than drug therapy. If your job requires you to sit for long periods, work at a computer, or perform repetitive motions, chiropractic may help reduce the incidence of headaches.
• Hypnosis has been shown to work as a treatment for chronic pain, but its success depends to a large extent on an individual's responsiveness to hypnotic suggestion. Hypnosis is similar to relaxation therapy, but it also allows a therapist to access subconscious parts of the mind, which may reveal emotional traumas or underlying psychological causes of stress.
• Acupuncture may help to reduce pain and frequency of headaches. It is believed that the thin needles used in treatment may stimulate the nervous system to release endorphins or other chemicals and hormones that affect mood and pain perception. Studies suggest that acupuncture is most effective in tension-type headaches and migraines.
The following remedies are supported by anecdotal information, but have not been studied in clinical trials.
• Massage therapy can relax the headache-induced pain in muscles in the head, neck, face, and shoulders.
• Homeopathic remedies are available over-the-counter to treat specific types of headaches, but are best prescribed by a homeopathic practitioner, since ideally each remedy is tailored to an individual's unique characteristics. There is no danger in trying a remedy for an acute headache, however, and homeopathy books are helpful in describing specific headache symptoms for each remedy.
• Aromatherapy oils that may help relax muscles and ease headache pain include lavender, eucalyptus, wintergreen, peppermint, and rosemary. Aromatherapy oils can be applied through massages, baths, and vaporization.
