Answer 2

It depends on what is causing the headaches. If your headache is caused by sinus pressure, you can use trigger point therapy to ease the pain. I generally use three points on the face to make the pain go away. It will last between 15 seconds and 15 days depending on what the underlying cause is.

Answer 3

Deep breathing really helps......or take a cold soda pop can and rest it on the back of your neck. Massage your top part of your head. There is a pressure points on top side on head.. If your head is hurting these spots will be tender, apply pressure on the tender area.

Answer 4

My favorite remedy for headaches is peppermint essential oil. Do not take internally, just inhale the fumes from it, usually helps me within a few minutes!

Answer 5

Pinch the skin between your left thumb and your left index finger with your right thumb and index finger and sort of massage it in circular motions.

This is not a joke, it's some sort of accupressure move.
