11. Bathing
It’s not just common sense that people recommend taking a warm bath if they’re tired, upset or in pain. This is also supported by medical research. Warm baths can soothe tired muscles. This is especially true if you have tensed them up due to a migraine.
Add some essential oils, such as lavender, to your bath to get the best results. This can also help to relieve the pain of a migraine. However, you should first test if you’re allergic to either the ingredients or carrier oil by performing a small swab on your arm, wrist, or hand.
If you have a migraine, you don’t want to bathe in water that is too hot or cold. The hotter end can make the headache worse. For the best relief, aim for a temperature somewhere between the two extremes or towards the cooler side, depending on what you can tolerate.
