Answer 2

It depends on what is causing the headache.

You could try water: Some headaches are caused by dehydration.

You could try laying with a damp washcloth over your eyes. Or if you have a headache because you are overheated, try coldpacks all over your head and around your neck.

If you're in pain because of low blood sugar, try eating something like a piece of fruit, or perhaps a muffin.

Then there is always a good massage, from your back and up your neck, up your scalp and across your forehead, then down around your ears and behind your jaw.

Good luck!

Answer 3

There are at least three natural cures that I know of. The oldest is a flower called fever few [feverfew], the next is chamomile, which you take in the form of a tea. The final cure and possibly the most effective, is to eat the raw leaves of almost any willow tree. The leaves of the willow contain a natural aspirin.

Answer 4

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!

Head aches are usually either dehydration or low blood sugar levels, so lots of water and a banana usually works.
