The heat is no joke. Not surprisingly, the National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet) has issued a red alert for nine states due to the heatwave. Meanwhile, thermometers continue to reach record levels.
With these temperatures, it’s possible for health symptoms and signs to deteriorate, with headaches being one of the most common among them. The high temperatures lead to dehydration, which in turn can cause headaches.
To prevent them, you don’t need to overdo it on water intake. Opting for tropical fruits, rich in water content, such as melon, watermelon, pineapple, and orange are good complementary alternatives.
For those who enjoy an iced tea, these can be great allies even in fighting pain.
Some teas noted for headache relief include:
- Chamomile tea, which also has a calming effect;
- Peppermint tea, which has analgesic and calming properties;
- Lavender tea, which helps against stress-related headaches;
- Oregano tea, high in flavonoids and calming substances;
- Valerian tea, which helps with muscle relaxation and, consequently, against headaches.
