Half-Headache: A Simple Guide

Causes of Half-Headache 

Half-Headache: A Simple Guide Feeling half-headaches can happen for lots of reasons, like being stressed or tired, feeling anxious, having trouble with digestion, being angry, straining your eyes, eating poorly, or having allergies. This kind of headache usually happens to young adults, between 14 and 25 years old.

 Symptoms of Half-Headache : When you’re getting a half-headache, you might feel dizzy when you wake up. There could be a dark shadow or flashes of light in front of your eyes. Then, a throbbing pain starts and gets stronger slowly. You might also feel burning, and tingling, and become more sensitive to light and noise. If you feel nauseous (like you might throw up), the pain usually gets better. Relief usually starts about three to four hours after the headache begins.

Characteristic Features of Half-Headache: The pain tends to spread thinly, and you might find relief by sleeping. The headache gets worse with sunlight but usually goes away after a good night’s sleep.

Treatment of Half-Headache:

1. Drinking milk with jaggery and raisins before sunrise can help stop half-headaches.
2. Having a cup of grape juice every day before the sun comes up has been shown to bring relief.
3. Mixing 6 grams of clarified butter (ghee) with 12 grams of jaggery and eating it can help with pain from too much sunlight.
4. Eating half a tablespoon of honey or a pinch of salt can help relieve half-headaches.
5. Massaging your scalp with oil can give you immediate relief.

Precautions of Half-Headache: To stop half-headaches from happening, it’s important to avoid working too hard, eating too much meat, drinking too much tea or coffee, and staying away from oily or fried foods.
