5 Psalms to read for headache (Psalms prayers when you have migraines)

Growing up in a Christian family made me learn at a young age what verses to read when I am feeling unwell. My father would always read a verse from the book of Psalms whenever anyone had a headache or felt unwell, and I picked that up; to date, I read Psalms whenever I have a headache.

With my experience and knowledge, it was easy for me to answer my students who wanted verses from the book of Psalms to read for headaches, especially during exams.

I decided to write an article on this topic to read for headaches for everyone else.
