Hi everyone , I have a headache but I’m not willing to take Pain killers .so any ideas that could work?

I have a killer headache. I have no medicine or a way of getting to the store to get medicine. So, I’m up for suggestions. Thanks!

I have chronic daily headaches and they are affecting every aspect of my life. I have been taking vitamins and have also gone to the chiropractor and neither of these has helped even a little. I know there are some herbs that are supposed to help but my husband and I are trying to get pregnant and many of them say not to take them if you are or could be pregnant. I am at my wits end with this but I am not willing to take pain meds that are harmful to my body in the long run. I plan to start a regular excersize routine once my work schedule changes in July. Does anyone have any tips for me that are healthy and will help even if I get pregnant? Also for the depression that comes and goes because of the chronic pain I deal with? My doctors are stumped…..

I don’t really want to take meds for headaches, because I already take a bunch for other stuff and I hate pills. i want to take something by tea form preferrably. What is good for that?
I have a bladder problem (IC)that prevents all types of foods and certain types of meds. The only rx out there for it I can’t take anything like tylenol or aspirin with it because of the bleeding risks. I have had them all my life and I do throw up with them. Just recently I have been getting them about every day or every other day.
I also want to add, that I drink about 10-12 cups of water a day. Because of my IC that is the ONLY thing I can actually drink that doesn’t bother my bladder. I do get sick of it but if I drink anything else I suffer the consequences.
