Heat theraphy

P.C.D. lakshmi in India - best
Heat wheat flour or sea salt in a pan, transfer it to a clean cotton kerchief/towel, fold it like small ball and rub gently on the back/top of your head, forehead, temples, neck(see that it is not too hot, it should be in a tolerant level). This heat theraphy absorbs water(sinus problems), relaxes your muscles and increases blood flow to the brain.

Even if you have back pain, knee pain you will get headache, just apply heat theraphy in the same way on your knees, joints or back, your headache will disappear.

I have tried it myself and also for my family members, it worked out.

Headache Remedy

Damaris in Queens,NY - best
Lemon-lime Alka seltzer in a cup of warm water. I get headaches at least two times a week. I've taken up to 3 Excedrin migraine tablets at a time, sometimes they work, but the lemon-lime alka seltzer works like a charm all the time.

Pressure to eyes

Dapo in Lagos, Nigeria - three stars
If your headache is induced by eyes strain, then apply slight pressure to the eyes. To do this, close your eyes and apply the pressure to the eyes over the lid.
Then avoid straining your eyes afterwards...

Unbelievable Use for Scotch Tape

Jessinika in Mooresville,NC,USA - three stars
I suffer from horrible headaches, but when I get the startings of one, I reach not for the medicine cabinet, but for the Scotch Tape.
Sure it may look crazy as all being, but if you apply one strip of Scotch Tape to your forehead, the headache will simply go away.

Headaches

Jazz in California - good
Headaches are horrible! I used to suffer from them almost daily. And I found out why. I was very sensitive to caffeine.

Being raised part british, strong tea was always part of our staple. And I love it. However drinking too much can get you addicted and that's exactly what i was. If you notice you can't pass a day without caffeine or you'll suffer a headache, you should begin weaning yourself off of it. When you suffer headaches because of lack of caffiene, take a pain killer and REST. Don't do any tiring or strenous sport during this period.

Tension. Having muscle tension in neck, shoulders, or back can be a huge case for headaches. Take a hot bath, and do some stretches. if your condition is worsening, seek professional help, or go to a massage parlor.

Too much sun. Too much sunlight can cause a headache as well. if you have a very light eye color, I HIGHLY suggest wearing sunglasses when you are outside.

If you chew gum constantly, you might want to slow your use of it, or stop altogether. Gum creates a very high tension rate in your jaw muscles triggering severe headaches,

Stay away from foods containg MSG, Benzoic acid, and tartrazine. This additives have been clinically shown to increase the rate of headaches.
Milk (first thing in the morning, or late at night) also increases your chances of a headache.

I have several Herbal remedies which may also be of assistance: Chamomile and mint tea are excellent if your headache is stress related. Australian's Vegemite is an excellent source of vitamen B and a good preventitve. Try ordering it online or checking out your local health food store.

If you need more help, I'll gladly give it. Email me at solushunz.4U@gmail.com

You can get buy 1 or 2 cans of isotonic drink (eg.100PLUS), and mix it with drinking water according to a ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 (simply, it means one cup 100plus, one cup water.or 2 cups water). Another method will be to submerge your feet in a basin of warm water so that it bring the blood pressure down from your throbbing head.

Hot and Sour soup for headaches and sinus problems

c twitty in North carolina - best
I agree with one other person that I can often fix a headache by having hot and sour soup but at times when I can't get to a restaurant I make a lighter version of my own.

All you need is chicken stock, diced onions (green onions are best), garlic, soy sauce, red pepper flakes and vinegar, (you can add a bit of sugar to balance the taste if you wish).

This will not only help with sinus related headaches but also sinus infections and stiff neck from sinus problems.

I used to believe that just the heat from the pepper flakes was what helps and to be sure it does but this soup works better than just adding hot sauce to your food. Now I believe that the vinegar is the real secret ingredient.

Drink this with a hot tea and you'll start to feel better faster than you would think.
