Home remedies for a strong headache?
does anyone have any home remedies for a strong headache? my mom is experience constant headaches because she is going through menopause (or has the doctor said, pre-menopause symptoms). she's been taking advil liquid gels but nothing is really helping her. i know headaches are sometimes due to dehydration, so im making her drink water. i've massaged her head, everything.. the pain is still there and comes and goes about 30 minutes each time.
i've heard peppermint tea works too, but we don't have that at the moment. anything else? any ideas? any help would be appreciated! thank you.

5. My mom is also experiencing this.
We went to a naturopath who advised her to have chicken soup with shallots (those onions), with basil + peppermint leaves added.
Honestly, it works great - my mom's practically been living on this soup.
6. Well, pre-mneopausal period and post-menopausal period are too critical in a woman's life as well as in a man's life known as andrewpause (sp.?)
The only thing I did during these periods were as follows, although I know i still have my hot flashes. Anyway, so as to lessen such pains, you Mom needs to eat only steamed Tofu, fried Tofu and lots of vegetables and fresh fruits PLUS 12-15 glasses of water a day. She needs to stay in an airconditioned room, too. For failure to be in a cool place might cause a heat stroke. Oh, be sure, when severe headache occurs, she must just sit down for if she lay down, there is a tendency that blood might clot inside her brain.
Take care and GOD BLESS.
