Headache Relief at Castle Thai Spa: A Holistic Approach to a Common Ailment

Headaches: A Universal Experience with Personal Solutions

Headaches are a nearly universal experience, with nearly everyone encountering them at some point in their lives. While often harmless, they can be debilitating for those who suffer from them regularly. This article aims to shed light on headaches and their effective treatment.

Understanding Headaches: Migraines and Tension Headaches

Headaches mainly fall into two categories: migraines and tension headaches, each with distinct characteristics.

Migraines: More Than Just a Severe Headache

Migraines are a specific type of headache, often misunderstood and mislabeled. Their cause is still a subject of medical research, potentially linked to neurological factors or changes in brain blood flow. Symptoms include:

• Pulsating or throbbing pain, often on one side of the head
• Pain that worsens with activity
• Nausea, vomiting, and blurred vision
• Sensitivity to light and noise
• Lightheadedness, sometimes leading to fainting

Tension Headaches: The Vice Around Your Head

Tension headaches can feel like a tight band around your head. Often, they involve not just the neck and shoulders but also the jaw (TMJ). Recognizing this connection is crucial for effective treatment.
