headaches ( children)

[Guest guest]

My daughter who is 10 suffers from mild headaches anything I can do to

help her without taking medicine .

[Guest guest]

of course you need to find out why.

Is she dehydrated

does she have any eye problem

do they come at a specific time

Is she with low blood sugar at the time - having not eaten for some time

Once you know these things it will be easier to help her.

She wears glasses all the time , when we where at the doctor they told us she

has a mild case of seasonal allergies which she takes medicine for ( 3 months

now) also I think she gets tired from school work but when she wakes up in the

morning she also sometimes has a headache. I don't know what to do for her not

to take headache medicine.

She eats well no junk food , she usually doesn't drink a lot.

any herbs I can use ?

Thanks so much.

Nellie

With warm and cold water alternations, dip her feet in tubs of water. Start with

warm and end with a warm soak. do this for 20 -25 min. Soft music or her

favorite stories will help,too. Hands and feet massage will quicken the

response. Hugs are always helpful,too.

Where do you live?

If she does not drink a lot she may be helped by drinking four glasses of

water daily.

Massage of her face with sesmae oil may help

first rub the forehead and then move down under the eyes - rub from the bridge

of the nose to the ears with mild pressure to help clear the sinuses (you

mentioned allergies)

then follow from the base of the ear to the throat.

If you want to use ayurvedic herbs a tsp of amla and honey before bed followed

by warm milk or warm chamomile tea.

You can also use ginger tea to help her digestion - often times allergies are

present due to issues in digestion.

If you also ensure that she eats a cup of yogurt with live bacterial cultures

daily her digestion would be helpd too.

Many reasons why children can get headaches and few home remedies are

Since you are seeking " no drug " approach, it may be better to

investigate the cause, pattern of headache, and adopt simple remedies

mentioned by others and in above post from archives.

We live in Brooklyn NY , I have purchased a Neti Pot and also cold pressed

sesame oil for drops in each nostril ( she is doing this daily for 4 days now )

hope this will help.

Thanks for your advice.

That is wonderful!

You may also want to check her diet - is she constipated?

If she is, that can also cause headaches and seasonal alergies.

You can make her ginger and chamomile tea - tea bags are fine for the

chamomile and fresh ginger can be grated and boiled along with the tea bag just

a 1/2 inch peice is fine.

She can drink this after meals to help digest. Honey can be added after

taking the tea off of the stove
