You don't say what kind of headache you are sufering from - there are many kinds. Make sure you are drinking enough water and that there are no specific foods that trigger the headaches. If they are severe and anything more than occasional, see your GP.

There are some alternative remedies that can be useful depending on the cause of the headaches e.g., for tension headaches (which may also affect neck and shoulders etc) e.g. herbal remedies and also cranial osteopathy, chiropractic, hypnotherapy, acupressure, acupuncture and Emotional Freedom Technique can be useful... You need to check these out further depending on your problem. You do do EFT for yourself if you learn the technique (put EFT into Google or other search engine). Likewise, you can do acupressure yourself and autohypnosis which can bring about deep relaxation.

Reflex points along the tip of thumbs or big toes. Apply deep pressure to these areas for a few minutes, relax pressure then reapply....keep pulsating like this to help alleviate pain...
Also see if someone will gently massage the back of your neck and your scalp muscles as sometimes, tension is a major source of headache. Use 2 drops of peppermint essential oil in an oil burner to clear the mind and help with a headache, this can also be used with lavender oil to help you relax....good luck

Simple, cheap, and healthy...drink LOTS and LOTS of water. Many headaches are caused by dehydration, even if that's not the cause of a particular headache, drinking a lot of water often helps. I avoid taking medicines as much as possible, when i have a headache i drink as much water as i can, and give it a bit of time to be absorbed. It usually helps. If not, try a cold compress on the forehead (cold face-cloth, keep dumping it in ice water and re-applying). Good luck.

Some good answers so far - headaches are usually brought on by tension or a reaction to toxins in food

So before u apply the cure u have to know what caused it

U can flush out toxins by drinking water ot herbal tea such as chamomile - also combined with massage and or exercise

I use this when I have migraines, hope this helps! I block out all sunlight, either closing all curtains or wear a mask. I turn on the AC to make it a little cooler than normal & go somewhere that I'm most comfortable. I light a candle or burn incense, either lavendar or jasmine. It works every time. But, if you not into all of that, you could try to you caffine. Drink a soda or eat chocolate.

Start with water and make sure that you do not have high blood pressure. This sometimes causes a lot of the problem. Also, know that allergies and changes in barometric pressure can cause them.
Make sure that you are drinking plenty of water. If you aren't you will feel like you are hungry even if you've eaten and you will get a headache.

Nutrition and Supplements

Certain foods can trigger headaches (particularly migraines) in some people and should be avoided. These include chocolate, caffeinated beverages, aged cheeses, alcohol, aspartame (NutraSweet), and foods containing nitrates, sulfites, and monosodium glutamate (MSG). Hangovers and caffeine withdrawal are frequent causes of diet-related headaches. Some common nutrients used to treat or prevent headaches include:

calcium and magnesium, in a 2:1 ratio (for example, 1,000 mg calcium and 500 mg magnesium): to help relax tight muscles that may be contributing to headaches
essential fatty acids, 250-1,000 mg daily: for their anti-inflammatory effect
niacin, 50-100 mg: increases circulation; take with a balanced vitamin B complex for best results
coenzyme Q10, 30-60 mg daily: to increase oxygenation





Herbal Remedies

Take either of the following herbs for headache pain relief. Both contain salicin, an aspirin-like compound. A common dosage is 1/2 teaspoon of tincture three to four times daily:

white willow bark
meadowsweet
Also use any of the following herbs to help reduce the nervous tension that frequently contributes to headaches. A common dosage is 1/2-1 teaspoon of tincture, 1 cup of tea, or two capsules three to four times daily.

valerian
passionflower
skullcap
chamomile
According to several studies, some headache sufferers may benefit from taking the following herb because of its ability to increase cerebral blood flow:

ginkgo, 40 mg of a standardized extract containing 24 percent ginkgo heterosides, three times per day
The following herb has been found to prevent migraines when taken regularly:

feverfew, 25 mg of the freeze-dried leaves twice a day






Homeopathic Remedies

Common single remedies for headaches include:

Belladonna: for a pounding, throbbing headache accompanied by fever and dilated pupils
Bryonia: for an acute frontal headache that may be accompanied by constipation
Nux vomica: for hangover-type headaches Combination remedies often include these single remedies along with others such as Aconite, Arsenicum, Gelsemium, and Ipecacuanha.






Essential Oils

The most effective applications of essential oils for headaches include massage or compresses to the forehead, temples, neck, and shoulders. Use any of the following essential oils:

chamomile: analgesic, nerve sedative
lavender: analgesic, antispasmodic, nervine
peppermint: analgesic, antispasmodic, nervine

How about some peppermint tea or mint tea they have helped in the past. Also if you have rosemary oil rub some on your temple the smell as a soothing effect. Hope you feel well soon.
