I have a horrible headache right now and was wondering if any of you had a natural remedy for making it go away. I’d like to avoid advil, tylenol, etc if I can.
Thanks =)

take a nap or sit in a dark room
drink water, eat, take a warm bath or shower
I get headaches all of the time. If it’s a caffeine headache, just eat some chocolate or drink some soda. Taking a hot shower usually helps me relax, but doesn’t always take it away. One thing that seems to work is having my feet massaged. There is a pressure point that for some reason helps relieve headaches, but someone else has to do it for you. On both sides of your big toe, but have them do the whole foot, it’s very relaxing.
when I had that headache I put pressure whit my knuckles all over where I field the pain try it !
To take homoeopathic medicines that’s good for your health and wealth
rub the lines in your skull and drink lemon water
I drink Green Tea or Peppermint Tea
Put your feet in a bowl of hot water and place an ice pack on your head.

How it works:- Pressure on sensitive nerve is relieved as the cold constricts
blood vessels in your head while the heat draws blood down to the dilated
vessels in your feet. Good luck and God bless. Cheers!
Hey Lindsay,
I hope this will help you, and cute avatar you have!;-) Well to answer your question I would drink 2 glasses of water and continue to drink water so that your body is fully hydrated. Your headache is caused from dehydration as your cells are constricting and are starving for nourishment and hydration. I tell you this because I played junior hockey and was hit very hard and had major headache but with prayer and God showing me to drink water I have never had a headache since…I honestly say this
But if that doesn’t work..I just pray for you right now that Lindsay….Your head and body be healed and made whole NOW in the name of Jesus! AMEN
God Bless Lindsay…I hope this helped;-)
General Headaches:
* Dull a tension headache by massaging a few drops of peppermint essential oil (Mentha piperita) into your temples. Peppermint works as well as 1,000 mg of acetaminophen, the main ingredient in aspirin, according to one German study. Herb experts don’t know exactly how it works, but the peppermint appears to prevent your body from sending pain signals to your central nervous system.
* Mix one teaspoon finely ground cinnamon (called dalchini in India) in one teaspoon water and apply on the forehead. It is very effective in headache due to exposure to cold air.
* Lying down, in a dark room, maybe getting a 1 to 2 hour or so of sleep will virtually always make you feel better.
Migraine Headaches:
* Ginger root. Go to any grocery store and buy a Piece of ginger root, grind a 1 inch piece up and add to any type of juice. Drink a glass a day. Great in preventing migraines. Another is eat a handful of real ginger snap cookies. For immediate relief is take a 1 inch piece of ginger root and chew on it. It is very hot in flavor but relieves the migraine immediately I know this will help I use it daily. As an alternative, you can also purchase ginger root extract.
* Magnesium. 90 to 95% of us are deficient in magnesium and taking 250 mg or more per day (make sure you also take 500 mg of calcium through supplements or dietary items) may be just the ticket to relieve migraines.
* Hot and cold showers. Take a hot shower followed by a cold shower of five minutes each, as hot and as cold as you can stand them. While you are in the shower, think pleasant thoughts and remind yourself that everything is OK and so are you. This technique has been reported to relieve migraines in as little as 20 minute.
* Take blessed thistle, cayenne, chamomile, fennel, fenugreek, garlic, lobelia, thyme, and wood betony.

Sinus Headaches:
* For a sinus headache, eat a jalapeno pepper as soon as possible. Within minutes your sinuses should start to drain and the sinus headache should subside.
