How to Use Heat and Cold to Relieve Headache Pain Naturally

• For migraine headache relief, try warming your hands and feet. (Massaging them can also help.) This helps because migraines are caused by the contraction of the blood vessels in your head, followed by their dilation. Warming the hands and feet helps to bring the blood from the head to the extremities.


• If you're having a tension headache, you can try warmth to the back of your neck, particularly at the base of the skull, to help soften the muscles and give headache relief.


• Alternately for a tension headache, if heat doesn't help, you can try applying cold to the neck at the base of the skull.
