Feel the top ridge of your eyesocket under the eyebrow. You will discover a small groove in your skull about the center of the top of the eyesocket. In this groove is a nerve which is very sensitive to pressure. If you compress this nerve, it will be very painful. However, the pain will stimulate the pituitary to release endorphins immediately. The endorphins are the body's own natural painkillers and are more powerful than morphine.
To stimulate the nerve, push hard against it for about 15 minutes.
Lean your head over and hit the back of it with medium pressure.
Repeat about 10 times and then rest to see if enough endorphin was released to stop the headache.
A similar method for releasing endorphins is to take 5 teaspoons of cayenne pepper in a glass of water. This is not harmful. When the cayenne hits the stomach lining, endorphins will be released by the brain to stop the pain.
Try putting a cold compress on your forehead or behind the neck. Many headaches are caused by tense neck muscles.
Massage the ears and ear lobes.



Tips
Another option is to get a bottle of magnesium citrate at the grocery store. It is in the pharmacy section and comes in a little green bottle. Cost is $1. Take 5 ounces of the magnesium on an empty stomach and the headache will go away. The magnesium citrate is sold as a laxative however 5 ounces will not have this effect. Magnesium citrate hydrates the gut - it is not a true cathartic laxative. If you suffer from migrane headaches, try taking HTP6 and Iodine tabs daily. They help increase blood flow in the brain, relieving headaches.
Sniff peppermint & drink gatorade. Many headaches are caused by lack of hydration. Take 4 aleve and 5 extra strength Tylenol. They work synergistically together to get rid of headaches caused by inflammation of the meninges.
Get off the computer and go to a light, quiet room and read.
Grab the sternoclediomastoid muscle (the muscle that sticks out in the front of your neck if you turn your head to either side) between your thumb and index finger. If you work up or down the muscle you find tender points. Hold a tender point for 5-10mins as hard as you feel comfortable but definetly enough to feels some discomfort. The pain may refer up into the temples then you know you hit a good one.



Warnings
Never take more than two Tylenols within a 4 hour period!
Overdosing with Tylenol is highly toxic to the liver. No more than 2 in a four hour period.
Tylenol is a great medication when taken properly.

Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.

Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.

The cure - start with a professional massage, you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).

For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck. Headaches can be
caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more
serious reasons like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side
effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information

Answer 4

Sounds more like a migriane if only one side of your head hurts. If you've had the headache for 3 days I would go to a doctor and figure out why nothing is helping to get rid of it. Good luck.

Answer 5

If you have had the headache for 3 days with no relief you need to see a doc. See a doc and get this checked out.

There is no medicine to treat all sorts of pains. Pain killers don't kill the pain but the patient.
For acute pain acupressure and for chronic pains acupuncture is the only treatment avilable.
Search a painful point behind your thumb nail. It is painful so press it couragiously or ask to do to others. Pain will disappear within a few seconds.
