Answer 2

I heard that if you massage the webbing in between your thumb and your pointer finger it's supposed to cure a headache. Do the same with each hand for about a minute each. I've never tryed it but I read about it in a book of home remedies. GOOD LUCK!!!

Answer 3

To simplify "Dr Soul's" answer, please do NOT take belladonna with out strict supervision from a practitioner, it is DEADLY poison in the wrong hands! If you just have a simple headache, White Willow Bark capsules (2 caps every 4 hours) will do the trick. Make sure you are using the whole herb variety of capsule. If you are using standardized dosing, follow the directions on the bottle to the letter. If you are suffering from migraine headaches, Feverfew tincture under the tongue will solve your problem. This plants nick-name is Migraine-few! If these don't work for you, but I have no indication to think they won't, please email me & we can "discuss" it further. Good Luck!

Answer 4

My throbbing headache is usually a migraine. I put ice on the back of my neck, a cool cloth over my eyes, lay down in the bed and do some deep relaxing breathing. Visualize the breath as it enters your body and as you breath out expel the pain. I usually fall asleep and wake up feeling better.

Answer 7

Lock yourself in the bathroom and turn the shower all the way to hot and all the way to high. Turn out the lights, take off your clothes and sit on the toilet and sweat the toxins out of your body while at the same time hydrating yourself. Most headaches are due to de-hydration or sinus congestion, if they are not stress related

Answer 8

See a Chiropractor

Answer 9

Dekyper ginger brandy,it is a cure for anything

Answer 10

Hippocrates, a Greek physician, wrote in the 5th century BC about a bitter powder extracted from willow bark that could ease aches and pains and reduce fevers. This remedy is also mentioned in texts from ancient Sumeria, Lebanon and Assyria. Native Americans have used the bark and the leaves of the willow for medicinal purpose for centuries. The medicinal part of the plant is the inner bark and was used as a pain reliever for a variety of ailments. Cherokees used an infusion of the bark for fever, rheumatic pains, insomnia, dysentery, and sore throats.[citation needed] The Reverend Edward Stone, a vicar from Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire England, noted in 1763 that the bark of the willow was effective in reducing a fever.[2]

The active extract of the bark, called salicin, after the Latin name for the White willow (Salix alba), was isolated to its crystalline form in 1828 by Henri Leroux, a French pharmacist, and Raffaele Piria, an Italian chemist. Piria was able to convert the substance into a sugar and a second component, which on oxidation becomes salicylic acid.

This chemical was also isolated from meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria, formerly classified as Spiraea ulmaria) by German researchers in 1839. While their extract was somewhat effective, it also caused digestive problems such as irritated stomach and diarrhoea, and even death when consumed in high doses. In 1853, a French chemist named Charles Frederic Gerhardt neutralized salicylic acid by buffering it with sodium (sodium salicylate) and acetyl chloride, creating acetosalicylic anhydride. Gerhardt's product worked, but he had no desire to market it and abandoned his discovery. In 1897, researcher Arthur Eichengrun and Felix Hoffmann, a research assistant at Friedrich Bayer & Co. in Germany, derivatized one of the hydroxyl functional groups in salicylic acid with an acetyl group (forming the acetyl ester), which greatly reduced the negative effects. This was the first synthetic drug, not a copy of something that existed in nature, and the start of the pharmaceuticals industry.

Hoffmann made some of the formula and gave it to his father, who was suffering from the pain of arthritis and could not stand the side effects of salicylic acid. With good results, he then convinced Bayer to market the new wonder drug. Aspirin was patented on March 6, 1899. It was marketed alongside another of Hoffmann's products, an acetylated synthetic of morphine called Heroin that he invented 11 days after Aspirin. Heroin was initially the more successful of the two painkillers and it was common belief that it was healthier than Aspirin. But, as Heroin's shortcoming of addictiveness became more obvious, Aspirin stepped to the forefront. Aspirin was originally sold as a powder (still the preferred form in many European countries) and was an instant success; in 1915, Bayer introduced Aspirin tablets.

Several claims to invention of acetylsalicylic acid have arisen. Acetylsalicylic acid was already being manufactured by the Chemische Fabrik von Heyden Company in 1897, although without a brand name. Arthur Eichengrün claimed in 1949 that he planned and directed the synthesis of aspirin while Hoffmann's role was restricted to the initial lab synthesis using Eichengrün's process. In 1999, Walter Sneader of the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow reexamined the case and agreed with Eichengrün's account. Bayer continues to recognize Felix Hoffmann as aspirin's official inventor. Despite its argued origin, Bayer's marketing was responsible for bringing it to the world.
