Headache

Date: August 07, 2008 05:37PM I get headaches sometimes (like right now) which make me feel like I am in a fog. It is incredibly hard to concentrate. I used to drink coffee to relieve them but I have completely given it up. It wasn't an addiction to coffee that brought them on because I only drank it on occations that I had a headache (maybe a couple times a month). For some reason coffee knocked out the headache instantly. I think my health is otherwise good. I am completely raw and get a decent amount of exercise. I am not sure what to do to feel better. Does anyone have any suggestions? Re: Headache

i can get headaches from eye strain, lack of hydration etc maybe cacao but that`s still caffeine patty Re: Headache

Date: August 19, 2008 01:11AM make a headache chart.
write down the days you get them and what foods you ate each day. this helped me realize caffeine, alcohol, and cigarettes gave me a headache. then later after going raw..sugar and certain processed food. It also helped me realize that I had headaches the day before my period. When first started documenting, I had one in the middle of my cycle and during. Now I still document. I am 1 year raw. Not always 100% but lots of juice and green smoothies.And only get one a month. And it's not that bad at all. As opposed to 4 or 5 really bad 24 hour ones. So, document them and see what you find out. Re: Headache

Date: August 19, 2008 01:21AM because i occasionally get migraines when i feel a bad headache coming on i take a pain killer. it's either that or a trip to the hospital for iv drugs. for me i am triggered by air pressure so it's not something in my diet. luckily i don't suffer from them very often and sometimes if they aren't too bad and can pass out i can sleep it or at least most of it off.

Date: August 20, 2008 06:19PM Thanks zella. It is a great idea to chart my headaches. That will help me get a grasp on the cause. I will also try salt because it is definately not dehydration. Re: Headache

Date: October 04, 2008 10:41PM 95% of all headaches are caused by dehydration. The brain is about 90% water while the rest of your body is about 75% water. Your brain is the most important organ in the body and requires more water. Therefore, if you start to run low your brain is going to feel the effects first. Pain is intended to get your attention and works quite effectively, unfortunately. I TRY to stay hydrated, but sometimes get busy and the headache sets in. I usually try a combination of angstron sized electrolyte minerals first. It is like gatorade X's 1000, but no suger or other artificial ingredients. Also, I use some peppermint essential oil on my forehead, temples and any other place it hurts. Most of the itme the headache goes away within about 10 minutes if I do these thing as soon as I feel it coming on. Good luck! Re: Headache
