Regular practice of yoga assists in the release of tension and stress in the body, a major cause of headache in men and women, says Ira Trivedi, wellness expert and founder of Yog Love.

If you've ever had a migraine, you know it's not like any other headache.

The throbbing pain on one side of the head is frequently accompanied with nausea, light sensitivity, and dizziness, as well as worry.

While medication can help with migraine symptoms, mindfulness techniques like yoga can also aid.

A pounding head can prevent you from sleeping at night or, worse, cause you to miss an essential meeting.

When you have a headache, whether it's from dehydration, stress, tension, a hangover, or something else, all you want to do is get rid of it as soon as possible.

While painkillers can give you temporary relief, yoga may be able to help you calm down and get rid of your headache for good.
