Many Migraineurs (people who suffer from migraines) find that one of the most effective ways to reduce migraine pain is by using a hot or cold towel. This is the mother of all home headache related treatments and has been proven very effective. It is very popular amongst those that wish to avoid using prescription medication due to risks and side effects.
Below I will list some effective ways using heat (and coolness) to ease the pain of your migraine. Know that each of these techniques will not work for everyone, every patient is individual! For example, some Migraineurs find that using a cold towel is very effective and can ease pain while others say it aggravates their migraines even more. The same goes with heat relief -it either works for you, or it doesn't.
Applying A Cloth
Applying a cloth is the popular amongst young children to early adult. The way it works is to place a cloth on the point where the pain is most excruciating (popular areas are the temple and also behind the ear). Another good reason to use a cloth is that you can cover your eyes which is great if you become sensitive to light during your migraine.
Taking A Hot Or Cold Shower
This one is mainly for the adults. Take a shower aimed at the neck or at the head to get migraine relief. Baths are also an option too and great if you have aromatherapy products as they too can help migraines.
