Question

How to ease a bad headache without painkillers?

Answer 1

For me caffeine always works, and something with a lot of carbonation (fountain soda), taking a nap or getting fresh air. If you can get someone to rub your temples or the back of your neck, that might help too.  

Answer 2

Warm bath, cold compress on forehead' something sugary..or orange juice. Coffee if you drink it. Thumbs pressing under eyebrows in an natural dimple of the bone for 30 secs and release...check this self applied acupuncture points..www.taichi.snowcron.com/shiatsu_... If you can lie down in dark quiet room afterwards all the better

Answer 5

Try head-on, it's a rub-on type medication. I was really skeptical at first, but it does seem to work. I get headaches almost everyday and was tired of taking pills so figured it'd be worth a try. Good Luck!

Warm shower or bath, or a cold cloth.

Stay off the computer.

Lie in a dark room with your eyes closed.
