You've not told us where the pain is or what kind it is, so I'm going to guess maybe it's muscle pain or injury type pain. If so, ice packs really help. They slow down the injured nerve endings sending the signals to the brain which in turn makes you think you aren't hurting so bad. I use ice all the time for my back, which was badly injured in a wreck. Also, I know you wouldn't think this would work, but it really does, at least for a bit. You need to close your eyes, and focus on exactly where the pain is. Say it is in your hand. Well focus hard on right where the pain is in your hand, and you actually will get some relief, albeit temporary.

Uh, bad idea dude...
How strong is the pain? Why do you need a home made pain killer?
Willow Bark Tea is like really weak aspirin, but can have side effects like stomach pain and easy bruising if you drink too much. Aspirin is LOTS cheaper and you can regulate the dose much more efficiently.
Heat and cold packs can help with pain in muscles and joints, etc
Headphones and music can help a bit.
Hot baths, hot tub, etc.
What kind of pain is it? How bad is it on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the worst pain you can imagine and 1 being the least? Where is the pain?
Some treatments like aspirin must be avoided in certain circumstances like severe headache. They can increase the likelihood of bleeding and cause a stroke. If you have a headache and don't know the cause aspirin is a bad choice. Try Tylenol or ibuprofen instead.
Good Luck.

First get a copper kettle, then some corn mash, then a dead possum.. find a remote mountain area, build a fire, then fill your fruit jars, maybe add a peach for flavor..this will make you forget you ever had pain.....
Well, you did ask for homemade, lol
