To avoid headache, avoid eyestrain

Eyestrain is a common cause of headache. In such cases, an eye specialist should be
consulted and proper treatment taken. Simple eye exercises such as moving the eyes up and
down and from side to side, palming, rotating the head, with neck outstretched, forward and
backwards three times, then three times clockwise and three times counter clockwise, can
relieve eyestrain.

A surprising way to relieve eyestrain is to give gentle massage to the neck. Bring the shoulders
together and release. Then take a few minutes to place a moist cool compress over the eyes to
give them rest and recuperation.
