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 (natural muscle relaxers) 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.

what i do is take 2 aspirin and a tylenol. If it doesnt go away with that i drink caffeine because sometimes caffeine withdrawls will give you a wicked headache. Try a warm pack on your temples too. Thats what works for me...but may not be the best way.

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

Headaches are caused and triggered by things we eat, or things we do, or things we smoke and foremost of all inadequate life styles.
If you change the way you eat, and excercise and foremost of all how you live everyday. You won't have any headaches until your sick and that should be very rare if you take care of yourself.
When a hunam being suffers from a migrane or just a temprary headache IT IS A WARNING SIGN!
