I usually do a Reiki self treatment. That always works for me. You could also try feverfew, it is an herb. I've taken that before for headaches and it works for me. I don't like putting chemicals in my body either. That's one of the reasons why I got into Reiki.

i usually have a headache. i don't think it is migraines but they occur often. like you, i don't like drinking any medicine. i don't like my body to eventually get used to the medicine. i usually just sleep it off or give myself a head massage. when the pain is unbearable, that's the only time i will drink a paracetamol or a pain killer.

I usually pop a pill and sleep. It works for me.

Sorry to hear you are not feeling so well. I hate to say it but sometimes bad lighting while sitting a computer for long periods of time can cause headaches. Also make sure you have enough water to drink today, majority of one off headaches are caused by dehydration. Stress can be another cause too. I'm like you and don't like to take pills or become reliant on them, so can understand you feeling that way but if it is that bad and it can help surely it can't hurt once. Plus if this is a regular occurance then it might be worth visiting your doctor. I hope you feel better soon.
