3 Ways to Eliminate a Headache Caused by Your Period

These methods are ones not well known as causes of headaches, but they nevertheless should be looked at, especially if you continue to get headaches each and every month.

To make your headaches go away, you may need to go to these extremes to consider these three causes of them:

1. High Electromagnetic Field (EMF)

High EMF is caused from cell phones, cell phone towers nearby, cordless phones, microwave ovens, dimmer light switches in the house, mercury bulbs in your light fixtures, SMART meters, and wifi. Even alarm clocks in the home emit high EMF, and headaches are one of the top symptoms experienced by people. What do you do to combat it?

Your home remedy could be as simple as replacing cordless phones with a wired line, replacing the SMART meter with an analog meter, and replacing the wifi with ethernet connections. Yes, it’s nice to have wireless keyboards and wireless printers but the fact is that you have headaches, and that’s not normal. Start changing these devices in your home and discover which of these high EMF appliances is causing or contributing to your headaches.

2. Food Allergies

Food allergies and sensitivities are common, especially in people who are eating GMO foods such as corn, soy, wheat and sugar. These foods end up causing gaps between the cells in the intestines and as a result, food proteins and particles end up in the bloodstream where the body attacks them. You end up with immune system reactions against the foods – and one of the primary symptoms is headaches. Food allergies worsen PMS.

The best way to find out what’s causing your headaches from foods is to run an ALCAT test. The ALCAT test evaluates your blood response to over 100 different foods. If you’re reacting to a food, there will be a clumping response of your blood to the food antigen. You don’t need a doctor’s approval to get this specialty test run; it may be done online.

3. Mold in the Home

Mold in the home is notorious for causing a headache and interfering with proper hormonal balance in the body. Pull your bed away from the wall; is there any mold on the wall? When you walk on the carpet, does an area of the carpet feel spongy? Do you have high humidity in parts of the house where there should be none? Does it smell musty in any part of the home? All these are signs of mold invasion and water intrusion.

Mold in the home needs to be removed; otherwise you will get sicker and sicker. Taking your period vitamin could help a little but won’t be enough if you have a mold problem in the house. Your body was not made to withstand high mold counts.  Getting rid of the mold could mean getting rid of your headaches while on your period.

The best way to get rid of a period headache depends on what is causing your headache. Hormone fluctuations could be worsened by a body out of balance from food allergies or high electromagnetic fields.

In fact, high electromagnetic fields cause hormone fluctuations and clearly interfere with melatonin production, disrupting your sleep both during menstruation and during the regular days of the month.

And who doesn’t have a headache when they don’t get a good night of sleep?

Sometimes your home remedy is to simply observe what is happening to your environment and your body and then make changes.
