There are a number of things you could try: 1. Lie down in a dark room for 10 minutes 2. lie with a cold facecloth over your eyes for 10 mins 3. Buy new product "forehead" which you just rub over your forehead 4. Tie a man's tie around your head like "Rambo" style, this takes the pressure off your brain. If headache still persists maybe see dr for blood tests. This could be an under-lying problem!!!

Sleep!! That's the best way to get rid of one for me. I get horrific migraines and when I'm out of meds, sleep is my medicine. Also, you can draw putting ice on your head or even a cold rag across your eyes. In that same respect, heat also works on the back of your neck (for tension headaches). You could try diffusing peppermint oil and breathing that in. It's worked for me before. Massage is another way, if you have the time. Yoga breathing works as well. There is also a spot between your thumb and forefinger, in the fleshy part of your hand, that when direct pressure is applied will help to ease a headache. There are many ways to get rid of one without meds, but sleep is probably your best bet. Good luck and feel better!

Depends how high a pain threshold you have, try laying down for a while with your eyes closed, sleep if you can. I don't like taking tablets and will do only as a last resort if it doesn't go away after a few hours or if I go to bed with a headache and awake with one I'll take something, but generally I either just try and ignore it and see if it goes by itself or I try laying with my eyes closed or have a nap.

Drink more water and make sure your environment is properly lit and you're sitting far enough away from your computer monitor.
the best thing for headaches without taking pills is Indian Tonic Water - originally designed as a treatment for malaria, it will help alleviate the headache because it contains a small amount of quinine, which helps to calm headaches and even fever.

Sometimes headaches are caused by dehydration so my advice is to drink plenty of water. Then open a window, turn all the lights off and sit in a dark room and breathe the fresh air. Sometimes a nice head or neck massage can help to relieve the symptoms.

It depends why you have the headaches. Stress related - try to relax. Alot of headacshes appear if you are not drinking enough water- so drink more!
Also i get headaches if i haven't had enough sleep.
Do you get headaches all the time?
Could be down to needing eyesight checked(can cause headaches)
Or your spine maybe out of position. My brother used to get headaches all the time. One day he hurt his back carrying something heavy, he had to go to chiropractor, he asked him if my brother suffered from headaches, because his spine was out of place in his neck area. He manipulated that area, now he doesn't get headaches at all!

This sounds crazy but it works. Its an acupressure method.
Take hold of the bit of webbed skin between your thumb and forefinger and nip it really hard for 30 seconds. Relax while you do this then repeat with the other hand. The headache should ease or go away altogether.

I have headaches a lot.I usually use tea or coffee when i know its about to happen and avoid crowds,excessive noise and smoke..if it doesnt subside then better to take the tablet at the onset of the headache rather then when its full fledged

An elderly lady once told me she would drink a cup of hot water for a headache. She said it worked every time. She lived to be 100 yrs. old. Maybe she knew something.
