1.Sleep it off. Relief comes from falling asleep--even if it's for a short time, however, that napping can trigger other types of headaches. So if you're susceptible to other headaches besides migraines, the best policy is to get on a regular sleeping schedule rather than taking catnaps.
2.Say no to NutraSweet. The popular artificial sweetener isn't so sweet to migraineurs: Aspartame (sold commercially as NutraSweet) can trigger migraines or make them worse.
3.Take time to relax--literally. Most migraines occur on weekends or while people are on vacation, it may have to do with a reduction of stress. When the body's stressed, it produces adrenaline--and adrenaline protects blood vessels against migraines. When you relax and don't have this adrenaline protection, you're more prone to an attack. You need to ease into relaxation, make it more of a gradual transition than just going full blast until 5:00 P.M. Friday and then suddenly stopping everything. Suggested practicing some sort of relaxation technique to slowly unwind--exercise, listening to music, whatever helps you relax--rather than just leaving work Friday afternoon and hitting the bar.
4.Munch on magnesium.Magnesium is a muscle relaxer, and it can help those with migraines.Good sources of this mineral include dark green, leafy vegetables, fruits and nuts.
5.Watch what you eat. About 10 to 15 percent of people plagued by migraines are food-sensitive, which means that consuming some foods or drinks can trigger a severe migraine, says Dr. Solomon. "There are certain foods that we know are triggers--chocolate, red wine and other items containing the animo acid tyramine. Also, foods cooked with MSG (monosodium glutamate) can trigger attacks
6.Take an aspirin every other day. A landmark Physician's Health Study found that aspirin reduced the risk of heart attack. Less publicized was the finding that aspirin is also very beneficial for alleviating migraines.
7.Ice your head. You have a 50-50 chance of getting some pain relief within three minutes of applying a soft, cold ice pack wrapped in a towel to your head.
8.Be aerobically inclined. Doctors have long known that exercise is a great way to reduce the stress that often triggers migraines in some people. But now there's research suggesting that cardiovascular fitness may also help lessen migraines--no matter what the cause.
9.Relax--as often as possible. Whether you just "imagine" yourself on a beach or actually go to one, practicing a regular activity that helps you unwind, relax and manage stress is essential for preventing migraines, say all our experts. Try to find some time every day for activities such as listening to music, reading or practicing yoga.
10.Don't pop the Pill. If you're a migraine-prone woman who takes birth control pills, you might want to consider discontinuing them. One in three women with migraines has increased attacks when she takes oral contraceptives.
11.Try feverfew. Fevers are fewer after taking this white-flowered plant, and so are migraine headaches. Research conducted at University Hospital in Nottingham, England, has shown that people who take feverfew get fewer and less intense migraines. You can grow feverfew, a common herb, or check your local health food store for supplements or powders. Note: Don't take feverfew if you're pregnant. And if you experience swollen lips, dulled taste buds or a sore mouth and tongue after trying the herb, be sure to stop taking it.

I used to get this until I was 20. Sometimes my headache was
so severe I had to find a place out of the sen to lie down. It was
always behind my right eye and usually when it was hot and I
missed lunch. I used to use ice to chill it or eat ice cream fast
and after you get the freeze ache the migraine will disapate. It
was so bad that there were certain voices I couldn't stand (My
Mom was one) or for some reason the color yellow. After I was
in the service and put on a little more weight I didn't have them
any more.

Sit in a hot shower with the water pouring over your head. It's very relaxing and helps ease the pain. I usually keep all the lights off as well.

Or,

Lie in bed on your back with an ice pack under your neck and another on your forehead. Sleep. You should feel better when you wake up.

these methods worked for me.
Put your thumbs on your forehead and fingers on top. Move your thumbs in a circular motion while your fingers massage your head. It works better if someone else does it for you.
Another thing that worked with me is an ice pack on my head.
