1. try drinking some water and lay down with a cold cloth on your forhead oh a dark room works the best

2. strangely a blow drying my hair with a hair dryer helps me try it. The heat probably helps in someone =]

i hope your headache goes away soon

3. If you have gatorade around, drink some. If not, try rubbing some mentholyptus ointment on your temple to relieve the throbbing. Hope this helps.

4. place an ice pack on the back of your neck, massage Vicks vapor rub into your temples and lay in a quiet darkened room for fifteen minutes. You should feel a lot better after this.

5. When you don't drink enough water, the body tells you it's dehydrated by giving you a head ache. When you are a little stressed because of many things on your mind, you can relieve the head ache by rubbing something like peppermint or menthol or even ben-gay on your temples. It gets the circulation going on your head and the stress headache disappears. Lay down, relax and try breathing deeply and slowly in, then deeply slowly out. by the 10th breath like that your headache could be thing of the past. Good luck!

6. take a towel wet it put it in the freezer and when it almost gets hard take it out and put it around your head.

7. try massaging the back of your neck at the base of the skull for a few minutes.

8. okay, take it from someone who gets headachs ALL the time, and a lot of migraines, your best bet is to go in a room, lay down with no music, no TV, nothing and turn off the light/s. and get like a 20 minute or half hour nap. It works for me. and when you get some medicine for it may I suggest Excedrine...it does wonders(works in like 10-15 minutes). I hope I helped!

9. Put ice pack on your head. It usually works for me.

10. There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, WORRY, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation;
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment. I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.

Avoid late sleeping if possible;spicy, sour, stale bakery foods and alcohole.
Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help you.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it isvery strong.
If it is acute pl search a painful point 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.
