Something homeopathic that will help a pregnancy headache?
I am 17 weeks pregnant and have a terrible headache that will not be helped by tylonol. I am eating fine and am well hydrated. Does anyone know of a safe and good homeopathic alternative to try to relieve a headache?

1. Bath and Body works sells this peperminty stuff that you roll onto your temples.It's a lifesaver for me.
2. Ice pack, tea, rest flat and close eyes (nap), soothing music.
Good luck.
3. Chiropractor, they can be the key to help keep the body well, and relive stress
4. take a nap
take a bath
listen to soft, soothing music
have your spouse massage your temples...and everywhere else
dark room, good smelling, relaxing candles, nice music....just relax
hope this helps
5. Have you eaten saltine crackers. The sodium in the cracker is good for the headache and the soda crackers are good for tummy troubles
6. try taking a warm bath and turning out the lights, just relax. call your OB, there may be a prescription she/he can give you also.
good luck
7. Try advil. Advil is now safe to take until 6 months.
8. IT's not homeopathic but your dr can give you fiorcet. I took ot all through my pregnancy for headaches.
Have you tried laying on an ice pack on the back of your neck.
9. For a homeopathic remedy try : https://www.abchomeopathy.com/go.php (type headache, pregnancy in the "search for symptoms" box, and then start clicking everything that applies.
Another thing to try is having somebody rub it out. A good solid head and neck rub. Have them squish all the parts that are sore.
One last thing that seems to provide relief. First grab a bag of frozen veggies (or an ice pack or something) from your freezer and head to the bathroom. Get a bath of ankle deep water drawn. HOT water, at least as hot as your FEET can stand. You do not want to sit in this water. Sit on the edge of the tub and put your feet in the water. Put the ice pack, (veggis, whatever) on your head. Wait a few minutes, and you should feel relief!
10. Chewing parsley.
11. I feel for you...seriously! The headaches are the WORST part of my pregnancy now! Tylenol SUCKS!!!:)
Try some peppermint tea that helps to ease it enough to at least stand it. It also helps nausea if you have that. Talk to your dr over and over and over until they give you something if they keep getting worse. I already had migraine issues before so I had to have something. I was rx'd fiorecet, and it did not help I have to take half a darvocet for them now when they come and it helps me. I also drink half a bottle to a full bottle a day of herbal tea called Gauyaki (empowermint flavor) to prevent them from coming so I don't have to resort to the meds. You can find it at a health food store or request it, or buy it online at guayaki.com It is expensive but I cannot function w/out one.
