Massage your temples and drink lots of water. Don't watch TV, don't do anything with a screen. If you have a child or partner, tell them to do this:

1. Find where your thumb joins onto your hand on your RIGHT HAND.
2. Now, follow that join so that that place where you're looking is in line with both your thumb and index fingers.
3. Get person to rub that area really hard with their thumb.

cayenne. chiropractor

Those are excellent suggestions you got. I used to do the pressure point thing. It only works for a bit however.

Cayenne is fantastic. I drink it in lemon juice everyday. It really gets the blood moving.

Castor oil on the temples too.

first see a good chiro and get yourself fixed up. also look into someone who does cranial sacral work, that might help quite a bit.

next do some bowel cleanses. really. I have known several people who has crippling migraines who found relief by taking big doses of laxatives. This would indicate that bowel problems can indeed cause headaches, even though it seems far fetched.

one quarter teaspoon of Sea Salt in a quart of distilled water. drink it up.

I had to make capaules of Sea Salt for awhile my headaches were so bad. About 2 full teaspoons a day. It took a couple weeks, now I only need about a teaspoon a day.

paint your forehead and neck with Lugol's Iodine, if not allergic to Iodine.For me it works miracles.
Be careful so as the Iodine doesn't evaporate towards your eyes

White Willow Bark Extract

An ice bag and a bed.
I recently purchased one and can't wait for it's delivery. Also, non of these remedies are any good while you have a bad headache at work.
I do some days at work (it's hard as I am agoraphobic) and suffer from horrible headaches. Don't know there source but I find I am stuck at work unable to lie down or get a bit of relief from it. They bring on increased anxiety for me.
I end up taking paracetamol as a last resort. Sometimes I think it acts as a placebo for me. Whatever gets me through.


I have found a fantastic headache reliever it peppermint oil drops on your temples. AVOID THE EYES. It cools down your burning head.

Habanero pepper works really fast for me, if you can stand the heat in your mouth for about 10 min.Put it in your mouth for as long as you can stand it until you feel a severe burning sensation, and start sweating.Better to feel the habanero's burning pain for a little than having an endless headache.
I discovered this by accident, one time I was driving down the road in Mexico with some friends and family, I remember I had a bad headache that day that even made me throw up. After about two hours of driving we stopped to eat. Of course,I wasn't hungry at all, because I still had the headache and nausea. Wile the rest were eating, I saw a bottle of "El Yucateco" habanero salsa on the table, I grabbed it and put some drops of salsa on top of my hand and licked it, I repeated this few more times for abut 5 min. My face turned red, I was so hot, and I was sweating. After about 10 min. the headache was gone. What a relief... After that I felt so hungry that I even ate about 5 tacos.
"HABANERO PEPPER REALLY WORKS FAST".

I get migraines often. I usually calm down the nausea and pain with 2 different kinds of tea: cool Peppermint tea for dehydration (I drink liters of it, iced or warm) and Ginger tea to control the nausea. Make sure the ginger tea is just ginger tea, in many tea-bags they mix black tea with ginger tea. I drink also Peppermint iced tea as regular water before my period starts (my migraines are hormonal) Good luck and hope you don't get any more headaches.
