remedies for headache

June 28, 2010 9:31am CST
as much as possible, i don't like to take medicines for my aches and pains but sometimes i just couldn't stand the pain then that's when i take medicine. Do any of you have a remedy or alternative treatment for headaches, body pain?

I, too, avoid taking medicines while suffering from headaches. I just go to sleep until headache gone.

I've used acupressure to help headaches in the past, but that mostly helps stress headaches. I woke up with a terrible headache yeaterday and I took Excedrine migraine for it. It got it down to a managable pain but only finally mostly went away about mid-afternoon.

Hi, dantondres Welcome to Mylot. For headache, before I would take any medicine, I would try having coffee first and see if it would go away. Or maybe eat something sweet like chocolate. I have a friend who once said that I may just be suffering of hypoglycemia or lack of sugar. There are times when that works but if it does not, I would just take paracetamol and have a rest. Take care!
