Answer 2

Folk Medicine used to say to treat headaches with "cold head, hot feet." Much of herbal information agrees with this. A cloth soaked in a bowl of herb tea (peppermint, rosemary, sage) and ice cubes applied to the forehead, and a heating pad applied to the feet (Or a hot foot bath) will bring relief to many headache sufferers. Additionally, drinking chamomile tea with drops of valerian tincture, and inhaling essential oil of peppermint can be very helpful.

Answer 3

You could try chamomile or spearmint herbal teas.

You might look in a supermarket -- they often sell these herbal teas. Be careful, though -- they generally sell tea bags which contain tea dust/flakes. These often lack flavor and potency. There are many tea sites online that sell loose herbal teas (no bags, you use a diffuser). You could try http://www.rishi.com/ or http://www.adagio.com/ and find quality and affordable teas there.
