Helpful Headache Relievers

I, personally, get terrible headaches, and quite often. There are some natural home remedies that can work better than certain medicines. Hopefully, if you suffer with headaches as well, some of these tips will help you.

1. Try to find a source -- Start to keep a food diary. Sometimes headaches can be caused by an allergy or certain foods that your body doesn't respond to well. Therefore, the easiest fix can be to find out if there is a food that is causing your headaches.
2. Oils and Scents -- Certain oils and scents have been proven to alleviate headache pain. Lavender oil, peppermint oil, basil oil, rosemary, chamomile, ginger, and more.
3. Pressure Points -- There are many common points on your body used to get rid of headaches. Keep in mind not all of them will work on everyone, so try some out and figure out what works best for you. A couple examples are: 1 - Gently rub both temples simultaneously in a counter-clockwise motion. 2 - Use your index fingers to gently massage the inner edge of your eyebrows, above the bridge of your nose on both sides.
4. Quiet, Dark Environment -- Laying down in a room with little light and little noise can help your mind to rest and get rid of the headache. 
5. Cold Pack -- Place either an ice pack or cold cloth on your eyes or forehead.
6. Food -- There are certain foods known to keep headaches at a minimum. 1 - Make sure you're getting your regular amount of vitamins, protein, iron, etc. 2 - Small doses of caffeine -- whether it's a cup of tea, coffee, or an apple, when suffering from a headache a little caffeine is known to help clear it up. 3 - Bananas -- The high levels of magnesium in bananas can be helpful to alleviate headache pain... There are many other options in the food department worth looking into.

I do hope that some of these quick tips helped you in finding your relief from headaches!
