Does anyone know a way to get rid of a BAD headache without medication?

Answer 1

Head aches are cause by many different reasons. Some are serious, but most head aches are tension head aches. Chiropractic care works very well for most types of head aches. The reason being is that your muscles can get so tight that they restrict motion in your spine and irritate spinal nerves etc. You can also get refferal pain from trigger points (tight bands of muscle) that can radiate to your head.

Answer 2

Do an enema. For real. You'd be amazed at how fast it can help a headache go away. Sometimes a headache will occur because your body is too full of toxins ( if you've ever done a fast you'll know this reaction ). Simply by cleaning out the filthiest part of the body, that creates less toxins in the body, and thus in your blood stream, which flows through your brain, and the resulting headache goes away. Also, there are points on the head. Just between the eye brows is one main point, then go up 1/4 of an inch, and press that point, then another 1/4 inch, press that point, and do this going all the way to the top of the head and down the back part of the skull until you reach the two muscles that go into the skull. Also the two points just above where the tear ducts are. You can press up under the eyebrow, and you'll feel a sharp pain there. Massage these points, as well as both temples, and most of the time it will go away. I've knocked out migraine headaches using this technique.

Shiatsu... Japanese alternative medicine through pressure points all over the body.

For headaches:

With you pointer finger and your thumb massage the meaty part of your other hand just above the base of you thumb. Massage in a circular motion continuously. Don't be afraid to pinch hard and apply pressure. There will be some minor pain as you apply the pressure (remember this is a pressure point, it is supposed to hurt a little).

If applied correctly, relief is almost instantaneous. If your on hand gets tired just switch to the other and message the same place on that hand.

It may take some practice, but you will be surprised at how fast your headache goes away once you master the technique.

Answer 4

If you are looking for a vitamin or herb to relieve a headache. Use vitamin E...it is a natural blood thinner. It has the same effects as aspirin. Also take fish oil caplets. This is also a natural blood thinner and relaxes the walls of the blood vessels, as well as helps other things.

Answer 5

I highly suggest you remove dairy and wheat for 2 weeks. You may see some suprising differences. Also, butterbar and feverfew have clinical backing as natural anti-headache approaches. Peppermint and Lavendar oils on the temples can work wonders, as well.

Answer 6

Someone once told me to bend my left arm so it is in the position you would have it if it were in a sling. Then take your right thumb and push in around the joint of your left arm. Keep moving your thumb until you find a painful spot, then just keep massaging with your thumb. I couldn't believe it, the pain started to diminish right away! Worth a try!

Answer 7

We use therapeutic magnets, and they work great. My husband has a pair of insole and when he gets a headache he just takes one out of his shoes and puts it on his head and his headache goes away in about 10 mins. If you would like more info just email me at [e-mail]
