7 Things That Help Eliminate or Lessen a PMS Headache

1. Oxygen

Who would think oxygen might be a way how to help a pms headache? Well, it makes total anatomical sense, as a headache is your head pounding because it doesn’t have enough oxygen. Usually the oxygen is delivered via your blood but if you have trigger points as big as golf balls in your neck and back, the oxygen and blood flow can’t get through to your brain.

The big question is where are you going to find oxygen? Well, if you’re in the subway, there may be what’s called Oxygen Bars on the way home. These are bar like businesses that allow you to receive oxygen via your nose connected to a tube. They are quite popular in places like San Francisco and Miami.

The other place to find oxygen is a hyperbaric oxygen center. These are sprouting up more and more at alternative health care clinics around the country and world. They’ve been in use for decades. You’d have to make an appointment there but the session is about an hour long, and when you get into the oxygen chamber, a sense of immense peace will come over you. It’s the oxygen; which relaxes the muscles that are tight in your neck, which are causing your headache. You’ll feel like a brand new woman with a hyperbaric oxygen treatment. Why do you think Michael Jackson had a chamber in his house?

2. Foods to Eat

Foods to eat when you have a headache are ones that are warm, not cold. They are ones that don’t have wrong fats in them, such as potato chips – instead eat dairy products like yogurt. They have calcium and magnesium in them like dairy products and salads. And they are dark green and leafy, like kale and spinach.

3. Essential Oils

Essential oils of peppermint, lavender, basil and pennyroyal may help relieve a headache. Mix a few drops into about a tablespoon of almond oil and apply to your head and neck. The pain should melt away.

4. Acupuncture points

One primary headache point is in the web of the hand between the thumb and 2nd finger. Press in towards the wrist and hold it for a few minutes. This point is specific for headaches.

5. Chiropractic

You could have a headache because your neck is out of alignment. This happens all the time. See your chiropractor regularly when you have headaches, and they will decrease in number and in intensity.

6. Laughter

Find out who’s laughing and looks happy on the subway. Get closer to them. Laughter lets in extra oxygen and relaxes the entire body. And that’s what you need right now for your headache during your period. Laughter is natural and free. You might also stop by the video store and get a few comedies to watch all night long. Keeping yourself in a happy mood goes far to relieve a headache. It could be exactly the help for a period headache you need.

7. Vitamins, Minerals and Herbs

Are there any supplements for menstruation headaches? Sure, but your bottom line is your period vitamin, which gives you the basic foundational vitamins and minerals and herbs so your reproductive tract is happy for the entire month. It’s a one a day type of supplement. The herbals in it may include black or blue cohosh, red raspberry and even an adaptogen or two. So get the foundation set straight first, then add extra vitamins and minerals later.
