Best natural remedy for a headache?
Question:
Answers:
Pinch your earlobe for a few seconds, if the pain persists pinch the other one. Or you can lightly massage your temples on the sides of you forehead for a bit. You can purchase the cream for this at Bath and Body Works.
Lol my husband would say sex. I would say a nap
Cool wash cloth. Apply directly to the forehead..
Apply directly.
I would say a nap too. For some people though, like my mom, a nap won't work. But for some people, like me, a nap will work. Just set your alarm or tell somebody to wake you up in an hour and see if it's gone. I don't like taking naps because I have better things to do, so I only do this if I have a really really bad headache, but it doesn't matter.
EDIT: Holy crap! I tried that earlobe pinching technique the person a couple posts above me said, and it actually works! You have to keep pinching though, and for whatever reason, while you're pinching, the pain focuses on your ear, and you can't feel you have a headache.
Either a cool cloth applied to your head, a nap, or something caffeinated (like a cola or coffee) to drink - that dilates the blood vessels and eases the pain.
Drink Pickle Juice. I know it sounds weird but it worked for me and a friend that told me to do it.
Some old time cures for headaches are:
1. wrap fresh cabbage leaves, or cut onion or slices of horseradish in a gauze and lay on your forehead for 20 minutes or so.
2. you can also try slices of lemon or better yet slices of uncooked potato – no gauze – lay on your forehead.
3. rub your temples with mint or lavender oil.
4. some people say that keeping your feet in a tub of hot water (and add, besides your feet, some salt and a tablespoon of rosemary oil).
For me sleeping or turning off all the lights.
