sleeping usually works or just relaxing in a place with no noise and minimal light

Headache cures are the most sought after remedies as it is one of the most common ailment people suffer from. Headaches afflict almost everyone at some time or the other. Most headaches are functional, being caused by temporary upsets, and are not related to any organic changes in the brain. They are often natures warning that something is wrong somewhere in the body. The actual pain, however, arises from irritation to nerve endings in the shoulder, neck, and scalp muscles, and also in the smooth muscles encircling the blood vessels which severe these areas.
Natural Headache Cure using Lemon _
The juice of three or four slices of lemon should be squeezed in a cup of tea. It gives immediate relief. The crust of lemon, which is generally thrown away, has been found useful in headaches caused by heat. Lemon crusts should be pounded into a fine paste in a mortar and applied as plaster on the forehead. Applying the yellow, freshly pared-off rind of a lemon to each temple will also give relief.
Cure Headaches naturally using Apple _
Apples are valuable in curing all types of headaches. After removing the upper rind and the inner hard portion of a ripe apple, it should be taken with a little salt every morning on an empty stomach in such cases. This should be continued for about a week.
Natural Headache remedy using Henna _
The flowers of henna have been found valuable in curing headaches caused by hot sun. The flowers should be rubbed in vinegar and applied over the forehead. This remedy will soon provide relief.
Headache remedy using Cinnamon _
Cinnamon is useful in headaches caused by exposure to cold air. A fine paste of this spice should be prepared by mixing it with water and it should be applied over the temples and forehead to obtain relief.
Headache treatment using Marjoram _
The herb marjoram is beneficial in the treatment of a nervous headache. An infusion of the leaves is taken as a tea in the treatment of this disorder.
Headache treatment using Rosemary _
The herb rosemary has been found valuable in headaches resulting from cold. A handful of this herb should be boiled in a litre of water and put in a mug. The head should be covered with a towel and the steam inhaled for as long as you can bear. This should be repeated till the headache is relieved.
But most importantly relax and take it easy!

I know it doesn't sound right but I eat chocolate.
I guess I'm in my pleasure spot so the headache goes away.
Sorry for the headache. Or is it really heart ache? I miss Wolfie too!

I couldn't take any painkillers for a while. My doctor told me there are only three reasons for a headache and I should work through them eliminating each.
1. Thirst,
2. Hunger
3. Being tired.
I'm never methodical enough to put it into practise - just tear about the place moaning maybe his advice can do some good after all.
I hope you feel better soon.

Your blood pressure may be up; take a few moments to relax & allow your self to calm down! That may be enough to leveloff the head ache!

Vicks VapoRub massaged into the temples. This is one my mother used to use; I use Vicks for sinus headaches, but it does work on the regular kind too.

Yes, take the fleshy bit at the base of your index finger and thumb on your left hand in between your index finger and thumb of your right hand and just gently massage it for a good five minuets, it works for me.
