Last week, I was suffering from a ragin’ headache. Not only was it painful. It was like the Energizer bunny…it kept going and going and going.

I asked you, my marvelous readers, if you had any advice to cure the 3 day headache and you really came through! With so many tips, I recovered from my headache and went on to feeling energetic and breathing clear. Since it is springtime, breathing clear is a tough one. But you did it and I thank you.

Since there were twenty tips, I couldn’t do them all - I picked a couple and tried them.

So here are the Top 20 DIY Headache Cures That Bring Quick Relief:

1. You might want to have your eyes checked (if you haven’t done so already). I had a new pair of prescription contact lenses made for me about 4 years ago. But they always gave me problems. I stopped wearing them and I noticed that when I was working (and staring at a computer screen) I got headaches. But the headaches would last and last. I thought there was something else wrong with me. Long story short (too late), I had PRK laser correction surgery done and I’ve been headache free since. I’m fortunate not to have allergies so I don’t have to deal with that possibility.

2. Peppermint oil applied under your nose. (Be careful with application and wash hands!!) Rice packs heated in the microwave for four minutes applied over eyes / back of neck. Also take a hot shower with Peppermint Soap (the liquid version) Oh it makes you tingle.

3. During allergy season I would suggest you use a sinus rinse like Neilmed. Once I started using it regularly, it cut down on my headaches.

4. Tiger balm on your temples, rub tendons in back of neck to release tension.

5. Snort this twice a day:
* Sinus Rinse
* 16 oz. H2O
* 1 tablespoon kosher salt
* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
* Mix.
Pour some into palm of hand and snort.

6. Brush teeth with flossing and mouthwash. Something about swishing, gargling, changing teeth positions, spitting, etc., makes it so you can clear your head a little.

7. Gargle with salt water periodically to clear head/get rid of drip.

8. Take a bath in fairly warm water. Submerge your head so your ears are covered. Even allow them to fill with water to put pressure on the inside of your head and help it drain. Then — KEY — sit up in the tub so that your wet hair gets cold. This is supposed to help shrink the nasal/sinus membranes and gives some relief. I imagine using a cold wet towel on the head might also help, but I think the bath steam helps and that’s why this is good.

9. Eat hot stuff like chili peppers, salsa. Again, this helps drainage. Even a little bit of heat helps break things up.

10. Cold compress over eyes to help the eyes stop swelling and bring some comfort.

11. Lie down and let head drain. Try with and without a pillow, side to side, head nose pointed up toward wall, and head pointed down toward feet, and rolling from one side to another.

12. Sleep, lots of fluids, and perhaps a walk. (I know this sounds lame,) but it helps the lack of blood flow, which is the initial cause of most headaches.

13. My daughter has used peppermint and lavender essential oils in a rollerball applicator. You apply a small amount to your temples and she said that she felt relief almost immediately. She recommended it to a friend of mine who gets migraines quite often, and she said that, although her headache didn’t go away immediately, it only lasted about 1/10 as long as usual.

14. I suffered from a headache for several days earlier in the year. I went to a regular chiropractor appointment for my back and she adjusted my jaw and the headache went instantly. Apparently my jaw was slightly misaligned (apparently due to stress causing me to tense my teeth) and this was leading in uneven pressure in my head when I moved my jaw. If the other suggestions don’t work I would recommend going to have a check up a chiropractor.

15. I usually find headaches are due to dehydration, stress or tiredness. So upping my fluid intake, getting plenty of sleep or having some time-out (maybe a walk in the fresh air) will usually sort it out. But if my sinuses are at all involved, steam inhalation helps (put your head over a basin filled with hot water and cover your head with a towel for 10-15 minutes. You can add aromatherapy oil or some herbs or a spoonful of vicks if you like. A little lavender oil on your temples, the bridge and sides of your nose and across your forehead will help to relieve sinusitis and stress headaches.

16. If your headaches are allergy related, I have started using a neti pot on a regular basis and found it to be very helpful for relieving sinus congestion. The result is similar to the nasal rinse suggested above, but I’ve done both and much prefer the neti pot. I mix a little sea salt with warm water in the pot and rinse out my sinuses during my morning shower.

17. My worst headaches from barometric pressure. When I feel one coming on, I’ll typically check the weather to see if a front is moving in. If it appears the weather is causing it, I’ll take an Excedrin migraine early on. I hate taking pills, so acting early really does the trick in my case. I’ve wanted to purchase a barometer for some time now so that I can get used to seeing the measurement every day. This way I’d intuitively know what my “feel good” vs. “feel bad” ranges are. Was there some poor weather in your area while you were in pain? If so, a barometer may be a wise investment so you can start using your peppermint oil early on. =)

18. (1) Chlorpheniramine Maleate 4 mg tablet (Walgreens Wal-finate Allergy 4 Hour Tablets) (2) Ibuprofen 200mg each, esgic plus an ice pack. Usually he find that it starts to go away in 20 minutes, but he gets a little sleepy. Try it next time. I also use this for tension headaches.

19. I found that when I reduced my wheat and milk intake my headaches disappeared.

20. Make sure you are hydrated. You can get migraines triggered from dehydration.

Headaches. Just about everybody has them occasionally - and some unfortunate people experience them often. The term “migraine” often is used to describe a particularly severe and long-lasting headache, but it’s not always used accurately. You can have a horrible headache that is not a migraine - it could be a tension-type headache, a cluster headache, a sinus headache, a rebound headache or a symptom of another problem, such as meningitis.

Migraine headaches are considered one of the most disabling chronic medical conditions and about 12 percent of adults in the U.S. are “migraineurs” - that is, nearly 30 million people suffer from migraines. Recently, some researchers have come to believe migraine headaches are caused by an inherited genetic abnormality.

Three times more women are diagnosed with migraines than men; the female hormone estrogen is thought to play a role. Often, girls and young women will experience their first migraine headache around the time of their first menstrual period. For some women, migraines stop around menopause. For others, the onset of migraines coincides with menopause.

In men, migraines can start at any time from childhood on. Some headache specialists think men are underdiagnosed with migraines because they are less likely than women to seek medical attention for headaches. Also, men are more likely to medicate themselves with over-the-counter or illegal drugs.

Everyone who experiences migraines will describe their pain and symptoms in a different way. Some migraneurs have “classic migraines” that start with symptoms such as mood changes, loss of appetite, sensitivity to sight, sound and smells, and fatigue beginning hours or days before the actual headache.

Then, in the hour before the headache, an “aura” can occur. Auras usually are described as visual distortions similar to bright flashing lights. However, not everyone with migraines experience these symptoms.

Once a migraine headache starts, most people feel pain on just one side of the head, but 40 percent have pain on both sides. The pain often is described as pounding or throbbing and sufferers may feel nauseated, irritable, depressed, confused, dizzy and weak. The headache can last for many hours or even days. Usually, people with migraines want to rest in a dark, quiet place.

For those of us who have never experienced a truly severe and long-lasting headache, it can be hard to understand how debilitating migraines can be. Even after the pain of a migraine has subsided, its effects can linger in the form of fatigue, irritability and lack of concentration.

People with severe migraines may have headaches many times each week or month.

Some migraineurs know exactly what triggers their headaches - things such as lack of sleep, weather changes, missed meals, emotional stress, certain foods or exposure to strong perfume. If triggers are identified, avoiding them can minimize the number of migraines. But, for many, migraines seem to come randomly.

There are two approaches to treating migraines. One way is to get treatment when the symptoms begin. Most people with migraines treat their pain with a variety of medications - over-the-counter drugs such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen in maximum doses may work for some people; others depend on prescription medications. Some medications, such as Imitrex, are effective if taken as a self-administered injection at the first sign of a migraine.

The second approach to the treatment of migraines is preventative medication that is taken daily in an attempt to decrease the frequency and severity of migraines - drugs such as propanolol, amitriptyline, divalproex sodium and topiramate. Some of these medications also are used for the treatment of depression or seizures.

Some people with migraines have found relief with acupuncture or biofeedback.

It’s my hope everyone who suffers from migraines or any type of severe headache can educate themselves and find a health care provider who will listen carefully and help them find ways to prevent and treat their pain. The challenge is that everyone who suffers from headaches will have different triggers and will find relief in different ways. The trick is to learn about all the treatment options that exist and try them in a rational way until you find what’s best for you.

There are some things you can do to help with those tension headaches:

1) improve your posture by distributing your weight on both feet. This induces muscle tension.

2) Exercise! It helps prevent and relieve the headaches by relaxing muscles. This releases natural painkillers.

3) Peppermint! Rubbing peppermint oil on your temples works as good as taking acetaminophen.

4) Black Bean Dip! Load with magnesium it makes people less prone to tension headaches.
