Headache due to acidity is caused mainly because of absorbing toxic products from the colon. At the time of constipation the uneliminated and undigested food gets putrefied and it releases toxic materials, acids, etc. This toxins and gases gets released into the blood and causes irritation in nerves and nerve cells mainly of head. This irritation of nerve cells inturn leads to headache.
Over eating of oily and cooked foods leads to indigestion which inturn causes severe headache. This is mainly seen in feast and parties where people eat heavily and mostly at irregular time which is accompanied by nausea and vomitting.
Further various diseases and medications taken also release toxins in the blood which is also a cause of headache. Paint, petroleum products inhaled by us by breathing also enters the blood and this can also cause headache. Intake of excessive acidic food like sugar makes the blood acidic and produces the headache as described before because of irritation of nerve cells.
This toxemic headache pain is felt normally all over the head region or in some cases just in frontal region.
Try the following things if you face this situation-
1. The effected patient should drink atleast eight to ten glasses of water every day, try drinking 1 glass of water for every 2 hours. The patient should also drink 3-4 glasses of water as soon as he wakes up in the morning and this helps in activating the bowel movements.

2. Train your body to evacuate (passing stools) twice a day every morning and evening. This will prevent the release of gases from the undigested food.

Headache, the most common of all symptoms afflicting the human race. There are wide variety of causes which causes headaches. Most common of them are high blood pressure, psychological tensions, head injuries, etc. However most headaches come today and go tomorrow and are not related to any organic changes in brain.
You may find it strange but the brain itself is not sensitive to any pain. This gives us an idea that most headaches are not due to any actual damage within the brain itself. But remember any kind of stretching or pressure on the coverings of brain will most certainly cause severe pain or headache. In headache, pain is actually experienced by the person mainly through his blood vessels which supplies blood to the brain which are very sensitive to pain. The distension, distortion, inflammation of the blood vessels is felt as pain. In almost every case headache pain comes from outside the skull as anything that affects blood supply of brain can cause pain to be registered on the receptors of pain in the arteries and veins involved. The origin is the tissues lying outside of the skull which are under the skin, which are the muscles and blood vessels of the scalp and neck. The actual source of pain is the end of pain nerve. Inflammation within the head, such as meningitis will cause severe pain over the entire head. However those cases are extremely rare. Tumors growing within the head may press upon the meningeal covering of dura which leads to extreme pain on the side of the head where the tumor is present. Various types of headaches will be discussed in the other posts.
