Headache remedies

[organicmama]

Nap in a darkened room? Is it a possibility?

The peppermint or lavender oils work on temples. The peppermint works by dialating the blood vessels, which helps relieve the pressure. I've also used the pinching between the thumb & forefinger, too.

The only product that ever helps me was a headache homeopathy product from B&H that I got a long, long time ago in GA. Somehow, motrin, tylenol, etc. makes me groggy.

Okay, I know it sounds stupid, but I heard this somewhere and it seemed like a reliable source.

When feeling a headache coming on close your eyes and literally think "shutup!" to your own brain. 90% of the time for myself it works and the headache is gone within a few minutes.

Is there something in the air?

I'm on day 2 of a splitting headache, and none of my usual remedies are working. I'm hydrated, took a decongestant just in case it was sinus, have had both food and coffee, and am pretty stress free thanks to my brilliant policy of hiding from this week's hell tourists.

beer works...usually 2 will do...kinda like aspirin

I have had a headache also for the past few days....hmmmmmmmm...maybe something is in the air....((have you been drinking tap water perhaps?))

If there was something so wrong w/ the tap water it made ME sick, Sowal would be on the news for an epidemic ala Alamosa! ;-)

Thank you for all the suggestions, still have a minor headache, but much better!

Tried the hand pinching, lavender/chamomile scents, and loved that someone thought I was well endowed enough that my bra construction style could cause physical issues! :rofl:

- FYI
-get a massage - someone who does craniosacral massage, specifically - worked wonders for me

Good luck!

Craig Bowlen at Calhoun Chiropractic is a master at craniosacral massage. He just got back from a seminar in Austria and I have missed him!!

I got desperate the other day and bought "Head On" - you know - apply directly to the forehead, apply directly to the forhead, etc. etc. Don't bother wasting you money on this one.

Did you take the cap off?
