Hi Danny
Here are a few answers and testimonials for you.
Cause
This is often the result of a disturbance in some other part of the body, such as digestive disorders in the stomach, liver or bowel; problems in the abdominal area; menstrual irregularities, impingements in the cervical; concussion, eye strain, nervous excitement, fatigue, etc. The headache is a mechanism which signals some serious problem elsewhere. The common headache is due to faulty elimination, and the waste matter causes problems until the toxic wastes reach the stomach nerves and affects them. Sometimes headaches are caused from panic, fear, or worrying about the unknown. Headaches of this type are the hardest to relieve, generally requiring something strong like a heavy nervine tea with lobelia in it to diminish the nervous excitement. A nerve tea such as valerian or skullcap with a few drops of tincture of lobelia to a cup will give relief.
Food allergies are another very common cause of headache. The worst culprit is sugar; I have experienced sugar headaches, which are sort of a withdrawal; you eat the sugar, and then as the body is trying to eliminate the toxic substance, your head pounds. Cheese commonly causes headaches, probably the worst of the dairy products for this, although allergies to any of them may cause the pain. Meats and eggs are also common allergens.
Herbal Aids
1.General Instructions: Improve elimination with the Lower Bowel Formula #1 (use the cathartics and enemas only in case of emergency). If the problem is in the stomach area, use any of the following stomach herbs: angelica, balmony, black alder, elecampane, gentian root, raspberry leaves, rhubarb, strawberry leaves, wild cherry, wormwood. Use ginger for a menstrual problem. To relieve the local headache pain, two or three drops of tincture of lobelia in a little water three times a day or up to every hour if required will often give temporary relief. If the contents of the stomach causes the problem, empty that area with an emetic. Where the nerves are raw, the following herbs are excellent: catnip, peppermint (hot), rosemary herb, skullcap, spearmint, wood betony, and since plenty of rest is needed, any of the foregoing herbs along with hops tea is very soothing and will produce sleep.
2.Migraine Headache: See formula using wormwood, Culver's root and cayenne.
3.Constipation Headache: Headaches can stem from several sources. Very common is the constipation headache, where compressed fecal matter presses on the nerves that affect the head. We have seen severe migraine headaches cured by taking a catnip enema. For longer-term relief, the lower bowel formula can heal the bowel so that there is no constipation.
4.Severe Migraine: For a really severe migraine headache, apply cold packs to the neck and head while the patient soaks in a very hot tub or whirlpool. Be sure to drink lots of feverfew tea and water, take copious amounts of Dr. Christopher's Calc Tea and try to enjoy the bath.
5.Dehydration Headache: Sometimes people get headaches because they are dehydrated. You would be surprised that most people walk around in a state of dehydration. You need about a gallon of steam-distilled water each day in order to stay completely hydrated.
6.Rosemary: Another method to relieve headache is, as soon as the headache begins, a small bottle of spirits of Rosemary is held to the nose and the fumes are inhaled. In addition, a few drops of the preparation are rubbed gently but thoroughly on the temples, on the forehead, on the veins of the neck and behind the ears. This reputedly gives prompt relief.
7.Juices for a Sick Headache: Celery, celery & apple.
8.Cabbage Leaves: Apply cabbage leaves to the forehead and nape of the neck and leave on overnight. Applications of the leaves over the liver may also be necessary.
Testimonials
1.Cayenne Ointment: (Red Sun Balm) My husband gets severe migraines occasionally, presumably because he does high-stress academic work. These headaches can keep him sitting up all night because they hurt too much for him to lie down. Once when he was suffering from one of these I thoroughly rubbed his back with Professor Cayenne's Ointment, rubbing out the tense places as much as I could. Soon he was asleep and slept all night.
2.Kelp: A man reported to Dr. Powell with much indigestion with bilious turns. Almost every morning for some months he had risen from bed in the morning with a sick headache. For a time he had taken purgatives, salts and aspirins, which, although giving relief, failed to heal the man; indeed, these things had made him worse. The doctor asked the man to fast and then put him on a cleansing diet. He got somewhat better, though not completely. Eventually he began to take Kelp and cell salts at every meal, and after some weeks his troubles left him. In this case, the doctor noted, Kelp not only acted on the liver, but also on the toxic colon, the gall bladder, kidneys, and meninges. The latter are usually involved when the headaches are severe.
Best of health to you.
Cheers

Whenever I have a headache or a migraine, I do a meditation exercise that relieves pressure in my head. Find a very quiet place and sit down on the floor with your legs spread out for good circulation. Take your pointer finger and your middle finger and bring them together then and place them on your temples. Rotate your fingers gently clockwise very slowly while breathing in and out slowly. Clear your mind and think of absolutely nothing or if you must think of something, think of you sitting on a beautiful beach alone. Do this exercise for about 10-15 minutes and it should help the relieve the pressure in your head and eventually your migraine will disappear.

well when i get a migraine, it usually lingers right above my right eye so i sometimes stick my finger into the top of my eye (over the eyelid) more towards the nose, and that usually temporarily stops the pain. get a back massage(area ofbig tension buildup), or face massage, i had a face massage and that was terrific. i take naps in dark room with no noise and it has to be very cold, heat just adds to the migraine. when i become desperate then i take pills that were prescribed to me. thats when i would constantly have migraines.

I know you do not like pills but I find for me comtrex acute cold gets rid of my migraines. I suffer from these on a regular basis due to the weather. I have also found a hot tub bath. I heard it allows your blood vessels to unrestrict and get the blood flowing to your brain properly. I have also had pushing on my forehead at the top of my nose and on the inner part of my eye socket (that is one location I just described not three) for a four or five seconds at a time to help this has been scientifically proven to work. Fr me a massage works also. I have also found sex to be a good remedy. I believe that this works because it gets your heart beat up and your blood flowing better which can help to relieve the tensoin off of your blood vessels that are being constricted. During sex your body also releases endorphins which is a chemical that make you feel good kind of like being on high so I have heard from people who have used drugs. A friend of mine that is a pathologist told me that headaches are caused by constricted blood vessels so I have taken his word on it and find a way to relax and it usually fixes the problem. For some people I know for me sometimes it works to work like a form of physical labor. I have also had massages help me around my neck, forehead and back.

Well, you don't know what you're missing with Exedrin, but you could rub the spot in between your thumb and pointer finger...sometimes there's a lot of stress build up there. It's also a pressure point or something like that to your head. Or you could just sit in a dark room for a while and chill out. Sounds like you're busy.

The Iroquois Indians did not have a word in their language for stuttering. Was it an odd coincidence that they did not have a single stutterer in their people for hundreds of years until the White Man came and introduced the word? Hmmm, strange. Think about it. The word "Migraine" is prevalent in our society, and so are migraines. Be silent, be still, sit in the dark and eradicate the word "migraine" and replace it with "peace" "tranquility" and "total health" You are the architect of your life, the designer of your destiny. Read "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" and program your subconscious for health, peace, tranquility, and freedom from migraines.

Once I got mine to go away by taking a very hot shower and then going to bed in a very dark room with a pillow under my knees.
Hot I mean as hot as you can take it and when it seems to be like it not so hot any more you turn it up some more. Make sure you are letting it hit your head and run down your face for part of the time. Prayer helps as well.

Migraine for two days. It could be a symptom of something else. You could have contracted meningitus or mono. Go see a doctor.

Try heat or cool on your neck. I have used "Head On on my neck. It helps but isn't a cure. I am going for acupuncture after 25 yrs. of migraine. It is helping.
