What to do when the weather causes headaches?

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.
