Cold compresses:
This is a classic home remedy for headaches, and it is very useful when it is associated with inflammation and increased blood flow in the brain. One of the causes of migraine headaches is related to a dilation of the blood vessels that irrigate the brain. Cold temperatures cause a temporary constriction of the blood vessels, which relieves blood vessels’ dilation and gradually improves migraine headaches. This temperature is also calming and soothing and works perfectly if you use it on your forehead with the lights turned out in a silent room. You can use ice wrapped in a soft towel or special compresses you can place on the fridge to use shortly after.
