How to Ease Headaches after Cancer Treatment

#1 – Wild Salmon

Salmon is known for its high levels of healthy fatty acids. This fish can actually regulate brain health, protect the nervous system, and reduce inflammation due to its omega-3 fatty acid content. Your brain needs omega-3s in order to function properly.

According to studies, a high percentage of Americans are not having the recommended amount of omega-3 fatty acids in their diet. So salmon can make a wonderfully healthy addition to your diet. In case you’re looking for a plant-based diet, you can try these brain-healthy alternatives: marine phytoplankton, walnuts, hemp seeds, flax seeds, or chia seeds.

#2 – Ginger

Research revealed that ginger contains properties that are powerful enough to stop a migraine headache. This is due to ginger’s potent anti-inflammatory impact on the body, which can even relieve the pain from fibromyalgia (a disorder known for its widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by sleep, fatigue, mood and memory issues.)

Interestingly, when it comes to headaches, the ginger’s particular spiciness burns straight to the brain. This is similar to turning the light on in your brain, which means that when you consume the right amount of raw ginger, it opens your brain, gives you energy, and drains any excess mucus all at the same time. Ginger can be your secret ingredient for an anti-headache smoothie!
