For a method that does not involve chemicals squeeze in the V between your thumb and fore finger hard for a couple of minutes. This is an acupuncture point for curing headaches

Just quit cold turkey and keep alot of Ibuprofen and tylenol on hand for the headaches that will follow. Get as much sleep as possible, and take vitamins and get some exercise. Don't eat chocolate excedrin or diet pills. (all contain caffeine). Check all teas and soft drinks for caffeine content. Sprite, 7up, Sierra Mist and most root beers contain no caffeine. In about 2 weeks you'll be fine.

Depends on what's causing the headache.  Try massage, meditation (including running, tai chi, meditation, yoga, or anything that requires your attention but not your intense concentration) sleep or food (avoide caffeine because it constricts the blood vessels and make it so you can't sleep).  If that doesn't work, the cause may be biochemical... see your doc.

Another effective means is to use natural apple cider vinegar . Equal parts of natural apple cider vinegar and water should be placed in a small pan on the stove, allowing it to boil slowly. When the fumes begin to rise from the pan, lean your head over it until the fumes are comfortably strong. Inhale for approximately 50 to 80 breaths. This generally alleviates the headache considerably, if not entirely.\n\nMoisten your fingertips with Pure Almond Carrier Oil then add two drops of Lavender Essential Oil. In a circular motion, gently massage your temples, the hollows at the sides of your eyes, behind your ears, and over your neck.

sounds wierd, but coca cola may help right now, the sugars and the caffeine do something to help relieve the pressure,( Tylenol brand "headache medicine" is simply caffeine and tylenol!)  also a hot foot bath, and cool ice pack on your forehead/neck..the hot water is supposed to pull the blood to the feet and release pressure in the head...Gravol helps to relax and ease the nausea as well...I know these sound crazy but...If it is a migraine, and not a tension headache (similar horrible symptoms) a doctor can help with a nasal spray..or if needed go to emergency and they'll give you demoral (yikes!)

if you relieve the pressure in your sinus tubes,  (use a decongestant or something from the doctors,) it should help with the headache!  accupunture works wonders too if your not keen to take tablets....

Headaches are usually caused by inflammation of the blood vessels in your brain.  The inflammation draws blood to your brain and vascular contraction forces blood out of the blood vessels.  Your head can't expand because your skull is hard.  This puts pressure on your brain and this causes pain.\nThis is why people use antiinflammatory agents for headaches (Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Aleve).  Serotonin is involved in the inflammatory cascade and antimigraine drugs like Imitrex work by modulating this pathway.

Get someone to massage your upper back and into your neck and head.  Or, go see a massage therapist.  I get headaches that debilitate me, advil and drugs alike just cover up the symptoms, massage can get rid of the headache and help prevent more.  There are at least 20 muscles that when they are under stress or being strained, like studying for school, refer pain to the head, resulting in mass headaches.  Sometimes applying something like tigre balm to the neck muscles, front and back helps too.

this may seem unorthodox but the simple cure is to sit in a quiet place where you can quiet your mind. take slow deep breaths focusing only on the breath as you inhale and exhale. this is a simple method for quieting the mind as consequently releasing the stress which is usually responsible for the headache. Try it, you'll be surprised at the results!

If you are constantly taking a medication to relieve or stop a headache, you need to go to a doctor.  The first step is determining what type of headache you have:  migraine, tension, or even sinus.  Depending on the type of headache it is, there are daily treatments that you can take to prevent the headaches.  They are very effective and can drastically reduce the number of headaches to start with.  \nNo, the dosage isn't toxic.  You do need to remember though, that those levels can build up and cause problems if you continue this on a long-term basis.  I certainly sympathize with you.

Make sure you are drinking lots of water. Many headaches are the result of our body being dehydrated. When we take pills to relieve them, we wash them down with water (ever wonder why they recommend so much water when you take a pill?). I usually take Excedrine Migraine and lots of water when I get them, but have found I don't get as many if I make sure I keep hydrated.
