What I do for a headache, be it a minor tension headache or a full out migraine is to lay down in a darkened room, put a cool, damp cloth over my eyes, and rest until it goes away.
A cup of herbal tea is also helpful, I like a combo of chamomile and mint with a touch of honey. When I was younger, I preferred a glass of milk that had been in the freezer until it had a thin film of ice across the top.

Your decision not to take any medication just to stop a minor headache is good. What your should do is check you stomach if it is empty. Sometimes when your stomach is empty but you don't feel hungry. You have to fill up, or the gas will push your solar plexus up and create discomfort even headache.
Message the flesh between your thumb and forefinger. The flesh especially the one surrounding the base of your thumb will feel painful even when you apply some pressure.Its good to brush your gums too while brushing your teeth.
Give it a try and see the result. Get well soon. Cheers

When I was pregnant I didn't want to take pills so I usually tried to lay down, relax, do something I enjoyed, read a book if my headache wasn't too bad and my favorite thing that seemed to work was to drink a glass of milk and eat a banana. The potassium seemed to help me feel better. Stay cool and hydrated with water too. I think I only took Tylenol 3 times over my entire pregnancy. Even now I try to stay away from pills unless I can't function because my head hurts so bad.

Headache can be caused by many things, it can be due to
- Eye strain, Emotional problems or Stress, Cold or Migrane, Empty Stomach, Work strain, Sleeplessness (insomnia)
The reason can be anything but first its necessary to find out whats causing Your headache. Drinking water, hot tea/coffee, wearing warm cloths may give u relief temporarily. However there is a (almost) permanent solution to it without takeing pills and it is called "Pranic Healing".
Pranic Healing is a simple yet powerful and effective no-touch energy healing. It is based on the fundamental principle that the body is a "self-repairing" living entity that possesses the innate ability to heal itself. PRANIC HEALING works on the principle that the healing process is accelerated by increasing the life force or vital energy on the affected part of the physical body
I have seen people who suffered from Migrane, astma for morethan 20yrs got completely cured from just 2 sessions of Pranic Healing. In simple headache cases it can be cured within 10mins.
Well!! you dont have to run to a Pranic healer everytime. Pranic Healing procedures are simple and easy to learn. However, behind the simplicity is a sophisticated technology that is without a doubt one of the best, if not the best, among all publicly known and disseminated alternative healing arts.

Water! Many people pop pills with water & the headache goes away. They think it was the pills, when in reality, the WATER made the headache disappear. A headache is the first sign of dehydration.

Su - Jok acupressure is the best.
Check a painful point bihind your thumb nail if the headache is above forehead and apply press release press technic. Pain will disappear within a minute.
If pain is on forehead the point will lie in front of front side of nail. Treat it.

Gatorade. You do your own search and you will see others have tried it. Drink down two 8 ounce glasses in 10 minutes or less. Why it works, I don't know, but it does.

sounds crazy, but you can use self-hypnosis.
no exp or training required, just put yourself in a restful state and focus on "pushing" the pain out of your head.
do a Google search for more specific instructions.
it actually can work!
