Regular headaches may be caused from a number of factors and occur often in the upper head, temples, and sometimes are focused on one side. Other types of headaches are often treated with an over-the-counter pain reliever whereas sinus inflammation is often an infection and prescribed an antibiotic.

Natural cures for sinus headaches include eating jalepenos (spicy foods will help drain the sinuses), and herbs such as eucalyptus and peppermint may relieve pain and prevent sinus problems in the future. Sinus headaches should be reviewed by a physician if symptoms worsen due to risk of further health problems if left untreated.

Massage therapy and heat is very effective for these types of tension headaches but may take months of therapy to completely go away. Special oils, including peppermint and wintergreen, can be used while massaging the neck and back to further stimulate recovery. If the headaches continue, seek professional advice from a chiropractor or acupressure therapist.

Seeking chiropractors and acupressure therapists for advice are great natural remedies as well.
