Recently in Yoga Journal there was an article about how to prevent a headache before they happen. Often times we can feel a headache coming on before they happen. A lot of us keep our stress in our neck or jaws, which causes tension. This can then lead to a decrease in circulation leading to a headache.
Yoga Journal gave some simple stretches to do to prevent a headache from coming on.
While seated, interlace your fingers and place your hands on the back of your head. Allow your head and arms to relax forward and your chin to travel toward your chest. The weight of your head and arms, combined with gravity, will begin to release your neck and reduce or eliminate your headache.
And as the column reminds us, and ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
