It’s important to know which type of headache you are experiencing. If you are able to identify the type of headache you are experiencing, then you can correctly and effectively treat it. Studies have shown that 80% of people who have recently thought they were suffering from a sinus headache, were in fact suffering from a migraine.

 

Headaches are one of the most commonly reported health concerns. Because the term “headache” refers to a wide range of pain in the head, it can be hard to target the root of the problem.

Using headache mapping to track where your symptoms tend to reside may be the key to curing your headaches.

Above Eyes and Forehead

 

Tension headaches often occur in your forehead, behind your brow line, and along your hairline. This is the most common form of headache. Tension headaches are associated with stress and anxiety because when those factors come into play, people tend to subconsciously tighten their muscles without release for long periods of time. The muscle strain in the face begins to radiate up, causing a headache.

While it is not easy to stress less, taking a break from caffeine and taking a series of deep, relaxing breaths may provide some relief. A natural relief for a tension headache is some calming tea, such as chamomile. Also, use your fingertips to gently massage your facial muscles.

Chin and Jaw

 

Dental headaches occur in the chin and jaw. A lot of tension headaches are related to clenching teeth, but this is a bit different in the fact that it feels more like a very severe toothache.

This pain should be evaluated by a dentist to ensure there are no cavities looming. To prevent cavities, be sure to brush and floss your teeth twice a day.

Throat and Neck

 

It is common for headaches to originate in the neck and throat area. A sore throat can move up into the head and tight muscles in the neck and shoulders can affect the forehead as well.

A great natural remedy for this type of headache is a shoulder massage in addition to plenty of fluids and rest.

If you have severe stiffness in your neck and shoulders, to the point that it is difficult to turn your head, you could possibly have meningitis. In this case, it is important to seek medical attention.

Under the Eyes

 

A sinus infection often causes headache directly under your eyes, as well as around your nose. A natural way to determine if you have a sinus infection is to gently tap underneath your eyes and above your eyebrows, because this is where the sinus cavities are located. If these areas are tender to the touch, it could be a possible sign of a sinus infection.

Some natural remedies for this are rest, plenty of fluids, and vitamin C. Typically, a sinus infection just takes some time to clear itself up.

Behind an Eye

 

A cluster headache causes pain behind just one eye. Cluster headaches are painful and severe, and are typically chronic, meaning they affect the same side of the head over and over.

The pain may come and go dramatically, ranging from 15 minutes to several hours. This may be temporarily debilitating, so it is important to consult a doctor to help relieve these symptoms.

Half of the Head

 

A migraine can often pervade only one side of the head. Experiencing a headache on only one side, accompanied by flashing lights, irritability, and confusion, may be signs of a migraine.

A good natural remedy for this type of headache is sitting somewhere that is dark and quiet and just give your head time to heal.

One Temple

 

Ice pick headaches, similar to cluster headaches, hit hard and quickly at one certain spot. These are referred to as ice pick headaches because they may feel as if you are being stabbed behind the temple with an ice pick.

Causing extreme pain, these headaches tend to be short in duration, and don’t typically repeat themselves.

Entire Head

 

Headaches that span the entire head may be a medical emergency. Profound and excruciating pain taking over the entire head is like accompanied by nausea, vision loss, and vertigo. These symptoms may be from an aneurysm or stroke, so emergency services should be contacted.

Knowing the root of your headache is a helpful way to fix it. There are several natural ways to cure and prevent headaches so make sure to map out your headache to pinpoint the cause.
