We’ve talked about heat and cold therapy before. There’s always more to talk about, because there are many different ways to do it. Different types seem to help different people.
Here’s a tip for tension headache from a group from the Northwestern Health Sciences University in the USA:
Apply an ice pack to the back of your skull and a hot pad to your shoulders. The ice pack will reduce pain while the hot pad will reduce muscle tension.
They also recommend a warm compress with a few drops of essential oil (remember, be careful about some oils, which may burn if they actually touch sensitive parts of your skin!).
