Whenever I have a headache the first thing I do is reach for a glass of water assuming that I am a little dehydrated. A recent study has found that drinking seven glasses of water a day can help to ease the pain of headaches and migraines and reduce the need for tablets. Personally I’m not sure it can do much for the onslaught of a migraine but it is certainly worth having a couple of glasses of water before reaching for the pills.
