Hello,

To stop a headache immediately at home, try these quick and effective remedies based on the type of headache you’re experiencing—whether it’s due to tension, stress, dehydration, or sinus issues.

Quick Home Remedies for Headache Relief

  1. Drink Water:
    Dehydration is a common cause. Drink a full glass of water and sip more throughout the day.

  2. Cold or Warm Compress:

    • Use a cold pack on your forehead if it’s a migraine.

    • Use a warm compress on the neck or back of the head for tension headaches.

  3. Ginger Tea:
    Ginger has natural anti-inflammatory properties. Boil fresh ginger in water and sip slowly.

  4. Massage and Rest:
    Gently massage your temples, forehead, and neck. Lie down in a dark, quiet room and rest.

  5. Inhale Steam (for sinus-related headaches):
    Add a few drops of eucalyptus oil or ajwain to hot water and inhale the steam.

  6. Avoid Screen Time:
    Take a break from mobile/laptop screens if that’s triggering the pain.

Medicine (only if advised):

  • Over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol or ibuprofen can help, but use only under guidance.

If your headaches are frequent and severe or cause vision changes, vomiting, or dizziness, consult a neurologist. HexaHealth can help you book a specialist and provide end-to-end support.

Wishing you quick relief and clear-headed comfort!
