It would help to know more about the type of headaches….
Are they tension, migraine, etc….
frequency
What appears to cause them?
What so far have you tried that has seemed to help, if anything?

Post some details and I’ll take a look back later.

Be well – Peace

Anytime, do not down caffine pills, but like soda, or coffee or just a small amount.

You could try willow bark, I think most health food stores carry it in a tea.

Cranial Sacral works great for headaches. Many massage therapist know how to do it. But try to find someone that specializes in it. I think it is fairly inexpensive. If you can’t do that I use a product called wintercrest. You just rub it right on. I like it maybe you will. Good luck!

I know it sounds so cliche, but I squeeze the pressure point between my thumb and index finger and it always seems to take the pressure away from my head. Also try drinking a lot of water, that always seems to work for me. I am with you 100% on trying not to use medicine for every little thing, wish more people felt this way.

take a look into "accupressure" There is a spot you can press located between your thumb and index finger. Try it!! Keep pressing and find out how much works I guess….Tried it on a friend with a migrain. He settled down some at least. Hope it works for ya…

There are many herbs good for your headache.
Lavender is one of them, and lavender oil is a first aid remedy for home use.
Put a few drops of lavender oil and massage into your temples or the back of the neck.
It will relieve headache and neck tension.

Also the oil can be used for bites, minor burns, skin irritation,and so on.
It’s an essential oil for anytime anywhere!

I haven’t tried this, but one of the books I was reading suggested DLPA, which is a form of amino acid that slows down endorphins in our brain. I’m thinking a lot of it has to do with nerves and chemical reactions in our brain. Do a DLPA search on the web.

Glad to know you are not influenced by allopathic quacks,
the paid agents who sole aim is to discourage alternative
remedies. Accupressure helps and you need not go to
any clinic. Get few wooden or plastic clips which you clip
on wet clothes to dry on a string. Now clip these wooden/
plastic clip on the tip of both the thumbs and wait for 2
minutes only. In case you cannot bear the pain immediately
unclip yourself. Also if you thumb is turning bluish green
which means a temporary clot is developing in which case
just unclip yourself and please don’t worry it is far better
then taking any drugs. Besides if instead of clip somebody
or you yourself can with your right hand pinch and hold your
left thumb tip for two minutes and alternate it with other hand
you will be surprised at the headaches being gone. Go
ahead and try you have nothing to lose except your ache.
Good luck and God bless. Cheers ! )

Headache from being stressed? You need comfort food. If in summer, I’d like a chilled fruit cup or Cold Stone ice cream. If in cold winter, I’d like a cup of hot green tea and soak in hot tub to relax. If I were in Hawaii, I’d look for a good lomilomi – deep tissue massage.

I don’t like pain killer drugs, neither. I agree with previous answers about the pressure point on your hand.
