6A Warm Compress
A warm compress to the head and neck is also very effective. Some people think heat will only aggravate the pains in the head, but that is not it. A headache could be as a result of low blood circulation in the brain of which results in the throbbing or pulsating pain in your head. A warm compress or heat generally will help open blood vessels and increase blood circulation. The blood contains oxygen and nutrients that quicken the healing process. Heat also helps to relax muscles and blood vessels. So, when next you are down with a headache, try putting a warm cloth or heat pad around your neck and the base of your skull.
