One of the most common pains in the world is that of a headache. If there is a way to cure something without taking medication I am all for it. Here are a few of our families remedies that are tried and true!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Headache
  1. Step 1

    Put a few drops of essential oils onto your pillow case and lie down for ten minutes. You can literally feel the pain fade!

  2. Step 2

    The fastest method to cure a headache is to apply an ice pack to the back of your neck until the pain subsides.

  3. Step 3

    For a heat induced headache, make a paste from Henna Flowers and vinegar. Take the paste and apply it to your forehead or temples. When the headache is gone wash your face well.

  4. Step 4

    Squeeze a few wedges of lemon into your water and drink up! This works almost immediately. If it doesn't take the headache away completely then grind the lemons peel with water to make a paste and apply directly to forehead or temples.

  5. Step 5

    The previous step can also be done with a stick of cinnamon ground with water to make a paste. Apply this to the forehead or temples for quick relief.

  6. Step 6

    Grind a few leaves of rosemary into a bowl of boiling water. Inhale the steam with a towel draped over your head and the bowl.

Tips & Warnings
  • Be as persistant as your headache when it comes to finding what works for you
