How to get rid of a headache

Learn how to Instantly get rid of a headache with a easy to do stretch!!

Headaches are characterized by a feeling of tenseness in the neck, shoulder and scalp whereas migraines are basically pulsating headaches, often on one side of the head. Symptoms actually vary from person to person, and even from one migraine attack to the next. A pounding head can keep you from falling asleep at night or worse, skip an important meeting. Whether from dehydration, stress, tension, a hangover, or anything else; when you feel a headache coming on, all you want to do is zap the pain away - and fast.

But don’t pop that pill just yet. We’ve got good news for you. Yoga could in fact help get rid of that headache for good. Yoga helps to release tension and stress in the body, and the majority of headaches are usually tension-related. Inside this amazing App you will find 9 asanas that are designed to gently stretch and open the areas in your body (such as you neck, shoulders or back), while circulating blood to your head. It’s time to take a detour from your medicine cabinet, and head straight to your yoga mat instead.

Whether from dehydration, stress, tension, a hangover, or anything else, headaches can really put a dampener on anyone’s day. Luckily yoga can help. Breathing deeply is always good for easing tension—headache or otherwise—while opening the neck, shoulders, and spine help blood flow to your head more freely. The next time you feel that pounding in your head, try doing these nine yoga poses. Hang out in each of these for at least 10 deep breaths, or longer if you have time. If you can’t commit to all nine, do as many or as few as you like—you will still reap the benefits.
