Headaches are one of the most common ailments that people suffer with on a day to day basis. The causes will vary and may include stress, poor diet and lack of water. By using a few natural remedies for headaches to help ease the pain, you should be back to yourself in no time at all. However if headaches persist it’s wise to seek the advice of a healthcare professional.

Besides keeping your body hydrated with plenty of good water, here are a few natural home remedies for headaches:

1. Mint Juice
Mint Juice is particularly effective for headaches as its soothing properties of menthol and menthone are excellent for relieving a headache. One of the easiest home remedies is to rub a handful of mint leaves on your temples or forehead or apply a cooled mint tea compress to your forehead or area of pain.

2. Basil
Basil is an excellent natural home remedy to treat headaches and is easily grown in your own back garden. In order for basil to work effectively as a natural home remedy, put four fresh basil leaves in a cup of boiling water and let it simmer for a few minutes. You may add a little honey if you wish and then sip the tea slowly. Chewing a few basil leaves is also an option but may not taste too good!

3. Ginger Tea
We have mentioned ginger before as one of the great home remedies available to treat a variety of ailments. It is particularly helpful for relieving a headache as it helps to reduce inflammation of the blood vessels in the head.
