What are ways to get rid of headaches without taking medicine?!
Question: I took ibuprofin for a long time but I didn't know it was bad for you so I stopped. Now when I have a headache, I try not to take anything and let it pass but sometimes it hurts so bad that I have to take something. Is there anything I can do to help make my headache go away?
Answers:
1. Get a massage (professional) it will ease tension
2. Drink lots of water on a regular basis (dehydration can give you headaches too)
3. Strech your neck muscles
4. Lay down in the dark for awhile to rest your head
5. See your doctor if it persists, cronic headaches can actually be considered an ailment that can be cured without using over the counter drugs

Hot wash cloth on your forehead might work.
Gatorade is supposed to help with a headache.
I use a cold wash rag & lights out! Lay down in bed peacefully in quietness. Naproxen is my drug of choice, unless I also have a fever, then I take aspirin.
a glass of cold coke is good the sugar will numb the pain. It works and it tastes beter than any medicine!

Headaches are there because of tentions in life. Yoga is the best way to get ride of headaches.. get message,, it will relief your body and headaches. I sometimes try to go out on the beach or river side and have a nice walk . see the nature, children playing, pets.. It takes my headaches away . Plus always have a nice sleep. Just treat your self sometimes with the things you like. If you are at home and does not have time to go out. try doing some art work. painting or something.. it helps. Even if you don't know how to paint. take the brush and start something that is in your mind.. you don't have to show your painting to anyone. it is for you.. and NO TV.
Another home remedy is drink hot tea with lemon without milk and sugar. it is very healpful. If you want you can use honey for sweetness.
Feel Better soon
When I am having a headaches I stay away from noises. I sit in a cool, quiet place and I drink something cold or even warm depends on the weather.
take your pointer finger and your thumb on one hand and squish the fat part of your other hand right underneath your thumb for a few sec..it might feel uncomfortable for a sec.. but it really does work if you do it right..
Hope one of these will help you, and hope you get rid of that headache:

dehydration is a cause and stress. Drink lots of water
8 to 10 glasses a day and no caffiene and soda drinks.
Well this sounds silly but works for me. Pinch the skin that's between your thumb and forefinger (pointer finger) or pinch the upper part of your nose, the top of your nose, between your eyebrows. These are pressure points. Doesn't take the pain completely away but it stops it while you're holding it.
What type of headaches? Migraine, tension, sinus? there are different answers for each.
