Honestly, a strong smelling balm was my best friend because it masked all the weird smells that made me throw up, plus it relieved my headache! Just rub a little on your forehead. If the headache is super severe though, do check your BP with the doc.
I had terrible nausea and headaches together, and applying a cooling herbal balm really saved me. Just make sure the strong smell doesn't trigger your nausea. If your headache is constant and doesn't go away, please call your gynac to rule out any blood pressure issues.
Oh god, pregnancy headaches are the worst! Don't stress too much, applying a little bit of normal herbal balm on your forehead is totally fine and safe. Just sit in a dark room and try to rest, it will pass soon.
Yes, you can use normal balm like Amrutanjan or Tiger Balm, there is no harm in applying it externally. Just avoid taking any paracetamol or pills without asking your doctor first. Keep drinking lots of water because dehydration causes headaches too.
Applying a little balm is absolutely fine, ho na. It is much better than popping a pill anyway. Just massage your temples gently and try to take a short nap in a quiet room, it will help you feel much better.
I am in my second trimester and also get bad headaches. I usually apply a tiny bit of mint balm, but does anyone else feel like the smell is too strong sometimes? Let me know if you find any other safe remedy that works!
