Hi T123. I either take an aspirin or I drink hot tea.

Yep aspirin and tea, but overall just anything that relaxes you or gets your mind off of what you are feeling amazingly makes that headache disappear for as long as you don't let your mind wonder back to it or whatever is triggering the headache to behin with.

Try a magnesium powder it's a vitamin and is great for headaches and any sort of nerve related pain the powder form is the best as the body absorbs it much better

Also maybe see your doctor and ask for some blood tests and see if you are low in any vitamins etc

Good natural remedies for headaches are essential oils such as lavender, peppermint and eucalyptus oil which can be applied to the temples and/or burned in an oil burner be careful not to get it in your eyes it isn't the best experience

Ice pack on the forehead and back of the neck can also be used or try using a heat pack whichever is effective for you whether it be hot or cold

A hot bath can help increase circulation and also help relax your body try adding some magnesium salts such as Epsom salts to the water to help further relax the muscles etc

othet alternatives are laying down in a dark room and relaxation techniques such as massaging the neck which may ease the headache

Aspirin is a better option instead of ibuprofen as it is absorbed much better and too much ibuprofen can cause an upset stomach

If your headaches persist it's best to see your doctor to get checked out

Hope this helps

Drink plenty of fresh water... Epsom salt bath with lavender oil and bicarb soda draws out toxins in body and helps. .. chamomile tea.. peppermint or rosemary essential oil... yoga too

T123, For tension headaches, I make it a "me" time. Lower the lights in the tv room, take 1 Tylenol, put a microwavable heat pak around my shoulders, cover myself with a blanket and start hydrating. Deep breathing and quiet moments help the headache leave as fast as it came.
