8 Treatment Options for Tension Headaches
Cold and Hot Compress
A simple way to ease the tension headache is to apply a cold or hot compress to the head. Heat or cool air flows would be helpful in alleviating your muscle tension and tenderness in the head or neck. You can easily purchase these products in any pharmacies or drugstores. Also, it is simple to wrap a few ice cubes in the cloth and place around the forehead or neck. For heat, you would put a moist towel into the microwave in 1 minute. Be careful as too high temperatures would cause burns on the skin. [5]
