Headache Remedies?

I seem to have developed a headache- I rarely get them so its normally and OMG what do I do moment for me until I figure out the reason for the headache. However I have anti-inflammatories that I am not allowed to take anything with IBprofuen with...so yeah.

Its not dehydration I know that, I've drank enough water for my top teeth to float- its just an icky everything feels stiff and hurty moment.

Anyone have any homemade remedies to get headaches to go away?

I was going to say dehydration since that is the reason for most of my headaches, although I drink a ton of water-i have a 32oz camelbak and I drink at least 2 of them per day... but it also sounds like it could be a tension headache. I rarely take meds for anything, b/c I just really don't like them, something that works for me is to take a 5-10 mins alone and do some deep breathing while tensing then releasing each muscle from my feet to my face-literally, breathing in through my nose and out through my mouth, you can also do this lying down with a warm wash cloth on your neck or face.

I get tension headaches a lot dealing with taxes all day, so some days I have to take meds, but usually if they are bad enough for me to take something its b/c its made itself into a migraine-and then I have some rx meds my old doctor gave me, its the only thing that has ever worked for my migraines. I hope you feel better!

I get headaches if I cut out sugar for to long. If I eat something small then it goes away. Have you tried water wash clothe on the head and relaxing?

I know you are asking for homemade remedies but I just wanted to throw this out there that Aleve does not contain Ibuprofen. My mom can't take Ibuprofen because it affects her in some way and makes her stomach bleed!

Aleve is not available here :-/

What finally worked was just turning off the lights and shutting my eyes. So sleep did the trick, but I have a groggy feeling now when I woke up so I will probably end up going back to sleep.

I never have any luck with getting rid of mine. I hope you get some relief soon.

Tylenol... its not very potent but it works when you cant take anything else. I am limited in what I can take too

Sometimes smelling peppermint helps me.

my best friend recommended lavender but I don't have any- and I didn't remember that until right now so I will look for something I can use to that degree.

I need to get tylenol right now I have zero so that might be an idea too. So far it has not come back so I hope it stays gone.
