Default Remedy For Caffeine Withdrawal

Caffeine is usually found in drinks such as tea, coffee, beverages with cola and products containing chocolate. In fact it is an addictive substance which can lead to the caffeinism and many side effects. The common caffeine side effects include constipation, diarrhea, elevated blood pressure, etc. so maybe you want to cut back on caffeine. There are some remedies for caffeine withdrawal I collected that maybe help you.
Avoid Cold Turkey: Instead of quitting caffeine cold turkey, minimize your intake gradually. Choice some decaffeinated substitutes.
Try Other Beverages: Switching to drinks with less caffeine, like herbal tea, is another option. After a week, gradually add some decaffeinated tea to your daily routine until you finally end up with a cup of 100 percent decaf.
Drink More Water: Caffeine is a diuretic which leaves your body feeling dehydrated. Increasing your daily intake of water will help you have a lesser craving for caffeine products and also helps in flushing out the toxins through the system, including caffeine.
Headache Relief: One of the most common caffeine withdrawal symptoms are the headaches. Painkillers like acetaminophen and aspirin is an effective caffeine withdrawal headache treatment. However, the ingredients of any painkiller that you choose contain caffeine.
Exercise: Some light aerobic exercises three to five days a week, such as walking or biking, could significantly reduce stress and depression by increasing the feel of good endorphins and neurotransmitters in the brain. In addition exercises are also known to relieve the tension in the muscles and reduce the stress hormone cortisol.
Calcium and Magnesium Supplements: Since caffeine depletes the natural supply of magnesium, intaking foods rich in magnesium such as black beans, buckwheat flour, cashews, almonds and spinach or supplements can help relieve the painful withdrawal symptoms. Since a certain level of calcium is needed to process the magnesium in the body, it is best to have supplements which are rich in both the minerals.
Herbs: Certain homeopathic drugs and herbs can help soothe nerves and relieve the anxiety caused by the withdrawal.
Ginseng: add ginseng to your coffee or take ginseng supplements. As you cut back on the caffeine, ginseng can help relieve the symptoms.

I think it is also a good idea to work with stress. If you are so addicted to caffeine that you cannot easily cut down, there is likely to be an underlying reason (after all, caffeine is not that strongly addicting in itself). So look for WHY you have a caffeine addiction; once you have that solved, cutting down should be fairly easy.
