Have a lie down in a dark room.........
Sleep is the best remedy but sometimes that isn't always easy to do i.e when your at work..try drinking plenty of water as i understand most headaches are caused by dehydration xx
I'll tell you what i always do, Turn your head as far as it will go 3 timesw slowly to the left and then the same again to the right, After that, head back as far as you can for 6 seconds then drop your shoulders and relax for a miute or two
ice
I am severely allergic to pain killers so I use Olbas oil and rub it on the temples back of the head and forhead it works a treat, and if its a head cold headache inhale it and it really helps
have something with sugar, go outside and take a few deep breaths of fresh air, Sleep it off, stop drinking so much coffee (if you do) or caffeinated products. I RARELy get heachaches but sleeping it off works best..like 1 or 2 hour nap.
PLEASE...try this method of massaging the muscle between the thumb and first finger. Just last night I went to dinner with friends. Our waitresses was pregnant; she had a migraine for about 3 hours, which we discovered when there was a staff change because she was in the alley sick (vomiting). I left the table, went outside massaged her hands for less than 5 minutes and she had complete relief. :)
To decrease the pain of any headache once it starts, try this method, but it will take you some trial and error. (described below as Joining the Valley the webbing between the thumb and first finger)
Take your hand and touch your middle finger to your thumb to make an O. Don't press the fingers together tightly, just make the O. Use your other hand and place your thumb on the top side of the hand (the one making the O) between the thumb and your first finger, you will feel a muscle. You can slip your first two fingers through The O to find the same muscle on the inside of your hand.
Slowly, with firm gentle pressure, feel around on the muscle on your hand until you press a spot that is very sore, or very painful or feels like it has lots of little BB's in it. It may take a few minutes to find the sore spot, sometimes it's near the base of the thumb, sometimes it's deep in the tissue, some times your hand is sore on top, sometimes, it's sore on the palm side. Just feel until you find the right spot.
Once you find that spot, massage it until the pain goes away. Do this on both hands.
A word of warning, the worse you headache is, the more the hand massage will hurt. It can be so painful it feels like a nail being driven into your hand and all you are doing is massage. Just go slow, and be gentle, you will know how much pain you can tolerate.
This works wonders on headaches.
Other pressure/massage points taken from Massage by heather website:
Minute Massage for Headaches
Clients commonly come to me to address headaches. Acupressure - static pressure on specific points of the body - can be used to manage the pain and discomfort of headaches. If you have frequent headaches, try holding a few of these points for 30s to 2 minutes several times a day.
Gates of Consciousness: There are two points you should press simultaneously. They feel like hollow areas at the base of the skull on both sides. Use your thumbs and press in toward the center of your head.
Heavenly Pillar: These two points are at the base of the skull very close to the spine - about ½ inch on either side. They are on thick, ropy muscles. Press and hold both at the same time.
Third Eye Point: This is directly between the eyebrows in a small indentation at the top of the bridge of the nose. Press with a finger or thumb.
Facial Beauty: The two points are at the bottom of the cheekbone, directly below the pupil. Use the first two fingers on each hand to press up into the points under the left and right eyes.
Joining the Valley: This is the point you've probably heard of - it's in the webbing between your thumb and first finger.
PS for OTC meds I like Excedrin Migraine Formula with a caffinated beverage. But this only works at the very onset of a migraine.
Also, if you keep a diary of headaches and learn the triggers, you can pre-medicate to avoid migraines.
For example I know a wind front or a rain front moving in means a migraine. So if either of those fronts are on the way, I start taking Excedrin Migraine Formula the day before and take it until the weather is stable.
At this point, your wife may need narcotics to break the migraine. Occassionally a migraine sneaks in on me that Excedrin or Imitrex won't break. Call your doctor and report the pain has continued for 3 days and he will prescribe a different
i suffer with headaches and have tried all the tablets going,i find if i have fresh orange and lie down in a dark room for abit it goes
No caffiene drinks, they are diuretics (dehydrate you), no Aspartame or Splenda products, they are neurotoxins.
Drink plain 10 bottles of 8 ounces of water every single day.
Hot towel over the eyes
Whenever a headache strikes drink lots of water .Lack of oxygen may have lead to your headache. Place a few ice-cubes in a polythene bag, and apply this on the forehead and temples. Check out http://useinfo-headache.blogspot.com/ for more info
Steam your face. And put a tiny bit of Vick's vapor rub on the edge of each nostril.
If they are occasional and mild, and there are no reasons to investigate or be suspicious of the causology, that take 2 natural paracetamol or a natural ibuprofen if no contra-indications.
sleep almost always helps me get rid of a headache. if that doesn't work, i drink a cup of coffee or cola. the caffeine helps too.
Try using a little Peppermint Oil. I swear it does the trick. I apply it to my temples, back of the neck and forehead. A couple minutes pass and the headache is gone. Plus it smells good too. It is also useful for stomach aches and cramps.
