Anyone know of a good natural cure for headaches? I had a pretty bad one this afternoon & couldn't get it to go away.
I tried eating chocolate with almonds (heard that almonds help with headaches & usually chocolate makes me feel better) ... didn't work.
I tried taking a nap ... didn't work & it was worse when I woke up.
I tried snacking thinking maybe it was partly because I was hungry ... didn't work.
I finally took 2 ibuprofen ... didn't work!
As a last resort I took another ibuprofen, ate a burger from McDonald's & drank a Coke ... it worked! But I am not sure which of it worked or if it was the combination of all of the above. I am just hoping I can find something else that does work without having to take the ibuprofen or other medicine.

I don't know if you had a migraine or not, but when I have one, I take Excedrin migraine which has caffeine in it, in addition to the pain killer. I've heard that caffeine helps for headaches -- just a little. Sometimes I just take some aspirin and a cup of coffee or soda. A lot of times when I get my headaches it's because I've been pushing too hard and haven't been drinking enough water. Of course, that's preventive, not something that helps me AFTER I've already gotten the headache. :o)
Sometimes the only thing that works for me is to get a good night's sleep. So maybe it was a combination of all those things that did the trick for you!
Perhaps you were just hungry and the food worked !
