Exercise is the best way, short of pharmacuticals, to diffuse tension. Also be aware of how you sit, for example if you sit at a computer watch your posture & how you hold your head, neck & shoulders. Just being aware of what muscles are tense & consciously relaxing them will help. Most tension headaches result from sustained muscle tension. Go online: there are sites devoted to headache. Headaches can result from eye strain, tension, drug effects, allergies - a myriad of causes. I found out I was allergic to the cultures in cheese, yogurt, buttermilk, and chocolate. Once I discovered that & cut those items out of my diet, my headaches were cut dramatically. I also take Feverfew, an herb, to prevent vascular headaches, which is what my bad headaches were (much like migraines). I was missing one to two days a month from work with severe headaches, started Feverfew & haven't had one of those headaches in 10 years or better. You have to take it for 3 months or so to see results but it works for me. There are lots of herbal things that are good for tension, like Valerian & Kava - you can find them at the health food store or on-line vitamin catalogs.
Good luck!

Dampen (get it wet) a small towel, place folded in the microwave for 40 seconds. It will be quite warm... Go the a recliner or sofa with it and lay it on your face while you lay back and relax. Before it cools place it on the back of your neck. As it cools, do it again. This will relieve the muscle tension in your shoulders and face rather quickly.
I had migraines for 30 years and always used this successfully. Good Luck.

First of all try to find out the reason for the headache.any temporary method will just relieve the headache for a short tome.Rule out first any health ailments which can cause headache eg high blood pressure.You need to relax completely and solve the anxiety which is accompanying the headache.I would suggest yoga and meditation as the best way to relieve your complaints
