Inhale Peppermint oil or lavender
Rainee in somewhere USA -
For the first sign of a headache try dabbing some pepermint oil to a cotton ball & breathe in the scent for a few moments. Do not get pure peppermint oil on your skin-this could burn it,if it is not duliuted. This remedy works everytime for me.
What also works is Lavender-I had found this great eye pillow stuffed with lavender at a local natural food store. This works so great that my boyfriend always stole mine when he got a headache. So,now I bought him his own.
If you can not find one of these pillows try inhaling any lavender fresh/oil ect..

CAFFEINE ADDICT
Tammy B. in Greer, South Carolina USA -I had tried several time to drink water for 'just one day' I had the most terrible headache ever. I was a serious sweet tea drinker. I tried pain pills to no avail...however when I drank a glass of tea, it went away immediately....that was when i realized I was a caffeine addict. After several tries I finally made it; after 3 long hard days of headaches, I purged my system of caffeine and for 3 years I have been 99% headache free.
Get off the stuff, I promise it will be worth the 3 days of headaches. You can 'wean' yourself, but I needed to remember what caffeine was doing to me so I could stop.

Drink water
KM in NH -
Headaches are often caused by insufficient fluid to cushion the brain. Drink a large glass of water, and in a bit, the headache will ease up.
Hangovers are a direct result of this, and if you drink a large glass of water before bed - after a night of drinking, you will very likely awake with no hangover at all, or a drastically reduced hangover. If you do awake with a hangover, drink some more water to speed it away.
Also, not going to the bathroom (#2) can cause headaches. Again, drinking more water can help with that, too.
Many things can cause a headache, and water will not cure all of them, but it is a good place to start. Free, and readily available, and it works if dehydration is the actual cause - and you'd be surprised how often it is.

Headache Remedy
Angella in Sasatchewan, Canada -Cut up a potato and rap it over your forehead with a bandana or a towel (You only need about 3 or 4 pieces of potato) That should work. It helped me when I had a headache.

heat works---
veronica in india -first i put an electric kettle on ,cover my head with a big towel and inhale the steam from the spout for about 15 minutes--sometimes i put in a few drops of eucalyptus oil especially if i have a cold and it gives me great relief!
Then i fill a hot water bag and place it to my forehead where its hurting and i lie in bed and sleep for atleast 30 mins.
Another thing i do is to soak my legs up to just below my knees in hot water as hot as i can bear for 30 mins at bedtime and put a wet cloth on the top of my head at the same time --and drink a glass of cold water before doing this so I dont get over heated.

Spicy Soup cures Migranes
Mary Manning in Kansas -Spicy soups like Seafood Gumbos will cure a migrane. I have tried to pass this on to my friends, but they do not believe me. But it works.
It's some ingredient in the Hot Chili peppers that does the trick, called capsaicin, or something like that.
Also that Chinese Hot and Sour soup works too. So next time you get a migraine, go to the nearest Chinese restaurant and get some soup.
