- If I can catch my headaches early on, I will sniff peppermint. I have peppermint cream that I dab under my nose so I can breath it in without people knowing it.
- If I am at home and know one is going to be close by, I will rub a small dab of Ben Gay into the areas that hurt (temples, forehead, back of your neck, etc)...this actually feels wonderful, but doesn't smell so hot
- I don't like coffee, but I have been told that if you have a headache you can drink a couple cups of coffee. The coffee reduces the swelling of the blood vessels that cause the headache
- I have a friend that suffers from Migraines and she has found that taking Ginger every day has help her not to have them as often...500 - 600-milligram capsules per day (she take 6 a day...two at each meal, but you may want to start out slow and work your way up...
- Drinking Ginger tea also helps. Slicing/chopping/grating fresh ginger and then steeping a teaspoon in a cup of boiling water for at least five minutes before drinking...
And the best cure for a headache...a long, long vacation...Hugs...

Great tips, Brenda. I've been a headache sufferer for years. Spent years & years trying all sorts of treatments. Nothing helped. Oddly, when I moved from CA to MT, they lessened tremendously. Maybe it was the oak trees we had. Now I usually only get them if the winds pick up. Loved the cartoon you used. That's definitely ME!
Thanks rena for stopping by...I also suffer from headaches quite often, and I didn't want to take a lot of pills to get rid of them, so I started looking into other ways to stop them...and that's how I came across some of these tips...hope they help!
