When suffering from a headache, people usually turn to medication to treat it. Yet there are many ways to get rid of a headache without any medicine.

So, how to treat a headache without taking pills?

• Fill your bathtub with warm water and sit in it for some time, trying to distract your attention from daily cares and problems. This is usually a good way to get rid of a headache. But be careful: don’t do it if you have low blood pressure.
• Ask somebody, for instance, your spouse or mother, to massage your temples, neck or back. A good massage will surely make you feel much better.
• Wrap some ice in a cloth and put it on the back of your head, temples and forehead. It’ll relieve your headache a great deal.
• Drink tomato juice. Tomato is rich in vitamins and minerals, so it may be an effective treatment for your headache.
• Cinnamon can also mitigate headaches. Mix it with water and apply the mixture on your forehead and temples.
• If the main cause of your headache is high pressure, squeeze three or four slices of a lemon, make a lemon juice and drink it.
• The flowers of henna may also help treat your headache. Rub the flowers in vinegar and apply on your forehead.
• And finally, don’t focus on your headache, try to think about anything else. Lie down and take a nap for some time.

Natural methods of headache treatment are toxic-free, quick and quite effective. So, when you have a headache next time and feel a strong wish to drink some medicine, don’t do it. Better try one of these natural methods.
