It hurts and throbs and it's almost impossible to concentrate on work - many Germans suffer from weather-related headaches. And they can be quite unpleasant and turn everyday life into torture. But is it advisable to always resort to chemical medication straight away? Not at all, say experts. Instead, you should rely on the power of nature and try home remedies and quick-and-easy tricks first.
5 tips against weather headaches
#1: Acupressure
The earlobes are popular acupuncture points. Use them for a pressure massage in between to combat weather headaches.
#2: Facial gymnastics
Don't worry, it's normal that it won't look pretty if you try to treat your weather-related headache with facial exercises. But it doesn't have to be, when the main thing is that it helps!
#3: Drink
Sounds simple, but it's super effective! But what you drink is important. Sugary caffeine boosters may sound tempting, but you should steer clear of them and opt for water and tea containing magnesium.
#4: Mint oil blend
The pungency of peppermint not only clears the sinuses, it can also help with weather headaches.
#5: Foot baths
Foot baths with 45-degree water stimulate circulation, which can combat headaches.
