How do you get rid of bad headaches?

Question:

I've been having really bad stress headacehs lately and Advil or any other form of a pain reliever does not help. Sound makes my head hurt and so does light. I would rather let it go away naturally,thats what I usually do.

Answers:
I have found that the combo of Lavender and Peppermint essential oils combined with a carrier oil works quite well for me. I apply it to my temples, lay down in a dark, cool room and take deep measured breaths.
Hope you feel better!

Other Answers:
Try feverfew it's an herbal supplement. I use it for my terrible migraines.

take some pills

I have heard the smell of lavender (oil) or alittle rubbed on the temples. First mix the oil with alittle carrier oil (ie olive, almond, etc).
Eliminate the possiblity of eye strain (which can cause horrendous headaches) by reducing the amount of tv, movie or computer time. If you do have eyestrain, take a supplement of Vitamin A (or codliver oil) everyday, for your eyes.

Water. Water. Water. When you get a bad headache, try drinking a lot of water at once. I'm talking like a 1/2 gallon or more. I don't know why it works...just duz.

It sounds like you have a migrane. Usually when you have migranes you are sensitivity to light and sound. I can't think of anything that will make it go away naturally except for Excedrine Migrane. That works all the time for people in my family.

Vinegar and warm water. A couple of sips should do it.
