Anyone know how to get rid of headaches?

I have a really bad headache, and I want it gone. I don't want to take medicine or anything.. I just don't know any other way rather than taking medicine. I don't like taking pills one bit, I just can't do it lol. So, any suggestions?:(

Ice packs or go to a quiet dark place (cold optional) and lay down with no tv or anything like that.

Thank you! Will do lol. I'm tired of all of these headaches..:P:weirdface:D:)

i usually take advil or tylonel, or a shower usually makes it go away for me

Anytime :) , i used to get migranes (like realy BAD ones that wouldnt let me eat lol but i was 12 then now im 15).

Stop eating general foods most people eat.
Eat low-fat meats, fruits, and vegetables. Raw is good too.

Stop eating fried foods, sodas, glutens, and sugars.

Most peoples headaches are caused by the crap they are really putting into their body. I used to get chronic headaches and migraines until I trained myself to eat healthier and more balanced (more veggies, less meat and potatoes).

coffeee

I second the coffee thing. Drink a red-bull or anything with a lot of caffeine. If you look at an excedrin migraine bottle, the pills consist of apsirin and caffeine.

what type of headache is it? remedy depends on that.
back of head, front of head, one side, general ache, etc....?

just a note - I had constant headaches and migraines for 25 years. when I stopped eating all gluten, they disappeared. not saying that's your situation, but I did want to second the idea that food sensitivities/allergies can and do cause a lot of headaches in people.

Tiffany, if you have a lot of headaches you should really try to figure out what's triggering them. Keep a diary of them and exactly what you ate that day or computer/game system play or where you were or just really anything about the time before the headache came on. Also if you haven't had your eyesight checked in awhile that's something to maybe have looked into.

In my family a lot of girls get severe headaches/migraines during puberty and they do seem to outgrow them as their hormones settle down. My second oldest daughter Beth was getting them really badly. At first we thought it was just family history but it turns out they were mostly being triggered by mold growth. Beth is very reactive to mold and when my ex-husband checked on it, under the floor of the bathroom in his century old home was a very bad mold growth. Once he dealt with that Beth's migraines diminished quite bit.

Look for a cause and talk to your family doctor or a natural medicine practioner if you prefer to go that route. Ignoring severe and repetitive headaches isn't a good thing dear.

this may not help much, but there's a pressure point in the webbing between the thumb and index finger of your left hand. pinch the spot gently and the pressure will lessen within seconds. let go, and the headache is still there. i don't take pills, and this is how i deal with the pain when i need to speak or listen. other than that, coffee and sleep are the only two remedies i know of. i have taken excedrin for extreme headaches, and it works surprisingly well.

what i use to do cuz i didnt like taking pills is crunch it up and put it in some oj or if its the rubber pill take the capsal apart and pour it in some oj.

If its a sinus headache I take Tylenol severe allergy. Its the only thing that really works for me. And drink lots of water.
If its a Migrane Drink lots of caffeene. It shrinks the blood vessles in your head causing all the pain.
Those are temporary fixes. If you get headaches all the time you should try and figure out what is causing them. Keep a diary of everything you do and eat.
Also dont eat any processed foods. Most of the ingrediants in processd food is NOT EDIBLE.

I don't know if it would help you, but when I get a migraine, I turn on the tv, mute it, and take a nap.

My teacher once told me that you get headaches because not enough oxygen is getting to your brain. So try and take deep breaths, it works for me until I get dizzy lol. But IMO tylenol or motrin is the best option

I cure most of mine with getting a Mountain Dew, or other kinds of caffeine soda's... or by getting a coffee. If they don't do the trick I'll eat something and take some Tylenol.

Caffeine is recommended (and actually in most migraine medicines)

Deffinately...

Also, drink water. Make sure your water intake is enough (that would be from decaffeinated drinks, or just straight water)

I have terrible headaches that last days to weeks on end. I do not get much of a break from them and they knock me out sometimes for days at a time. They are not migraines, but no one knows for sure what causes them. I also (incidental finding) have a cyst the size of a Nerf football on my left temporal lobe but the wonders of Army medicine tell me that it is nothing to worry about. Either way, I feel your pain. Water or coffee help me sometimes, or a cool, damp rag draped over your eyes with the lights off.

I heard this same thing, but never tried it. It couldn't hurt to try.

(I usually take something for my headaches)
