What do you do for headaches?

I woke up today with a gnarly pressure headache that persisted for awhile and left me sitting around extra sluggish.
So I did some reading and tried a few things, I nibbled some ginger, made some herbal tea, ate some pepper, and drank a ton of water.
Well after some light napping I awoke to find my headache was almost entirely gone. I think the ginger and spice really did the trick 
If anyone has a nasty headache eat some spice ( I used a little cayenne) and make some ginger tea or nibble on some root. Really helped a ton for me.

Many headaches are caused by dehydration
The ones that aren't I find to be somewhat soothed by eating very spicy food

Yeah water was probably the culprit, I smoked a lot last night and stayed up late, ate a big 2-4AM meal and woke up and threw up some bile...
I need to stop eating in the middle of the night I was surprised to read about spice helping but apparently they compete for receptors or something.
Doesn't spice also help with bloodflow or something possibly?

I haven't felt like eating today, probably due to my huge late night second dinner... Just took a dab though so hopefully I will be hungry soon.

I used to get bad headaches like every other day when I was a kid/teen, but then again I also spent a lot of time staring at a TV in those days
Ever since I started smoking dank weed regularly I stopped getting headaches, I mean I still get them sometimes but nowhere near as often as I do when I'm sober, some really good skunky weed just knocks out any headache I've ever had, even simply breaking the weed up and sniffing it helps a lot

I don't drink ever and the only head aches smoking gives me is when I seriously overdo it or let myself get dehydrated.

I used to get head aches after sitting in front of the TV for lengths of time. I've noticed though that after using psilocybin mushrooms regularly, I rarely get head aches any more.
Though I do notice spikes of intense pain isolate around my temples from time to time. Very brief, only lasting a few seconds at most.

I have daily headaches due to a small cyst in my maxillary sinus cavity. What usually helps me is cannabis, spicy foods, hot shower/heating pad, dark rooms && silence.

Multi vits are not a great idea imo, your body doesnt absorb refined vitamins well, lots of studies show no increase in health in vitamin consumers, some studies show increase in certain chronic diseases in vitamin consumers compared to non vitamin consumers.
Just eat ur damn spinach

That is becouse the bio availability of many things is very complex, often times vitamins need other vitamins/ minerals in order to be properly integrated.
The only issue I can think of with taking vitamins is the quality and I try to stay away from really cheap stuff. The occasionally aspirin worries me more

I have only had a few headaches, like two from too much fucking tequila, and one from hitting my head on the pavement in a bicycle accident. I just do not get headaches. I am always hydrated.
Does weed help your headaches at all? Kratom?

always take a multivitamin with food. sure you may not get 100 absorbtion, but what you do get will do you good. and if you eat a variety of food you will absorb them differently on different days.
every aspect of my health has improved since I started taking them, including my ability to drink too much without getting a hangover

I don't get many headaches. If I notice one coming on I drink some water. Sometimes my nose will get clogged and I start to get a headache until I clean it out. I have a dusty job.

You are indeed lucky then.
Cannabis can help as can kratom but I usually don't feel like smoking or toss n washing when I have a headache. When I am sick both help a ton however.
I can be pretty sick and feeling like shit then take 1-2g kratom with a bunch of water and toke up a bit and feel 110% again, it helps me eat too.

I used to be able to "will away" all my headaches till I was 19 and overdosed on tobacco. My ass passed out, smashed my face into the counter and bounded backward onto the tile floor.
Now I get frequent headaches. Sometimes migraines that make me want to drill a hole into my head. I generally don't do much more than drink more water and try to get some rest. For persistent ones that linger for more than a week or migraines I'll drink a strong cup of coffee and aspirin. I'm sensitive to all otc painkillers so it has to really be bothering me but that almost always does the trick.
If I'm having a particularly bad month or 2 I'll do a small dose of mushies.

Does no one else do handstands? It helps me a lot when circulation, tension or dehydration are an issue. Followed by exercise to keep the blood flowing.

I get migraines sometimes they are really bad !
Tried all kinds of stuff the only thing that works is throwing up like 8 times sucks
Stuff hurts sounds smells the dark too
laying down is the worst everything spins
And can't think right when it starts getting bad
Loopy thoughts
Best thing is sitting in a shower in the dark all night until passing out that is the only sound I can take no sound is bad too need running water
One time it lasted 4 days the after effects were really bad every part of my body was fucked up hurt
So I smoke mad cannabis most of the time prevents it the more I use it the less problems come no pills never will take any
Just want to say I don't fight hate fighting
I have been beatin a few times like black and blue on concrete no fair have had my ears fucked up bashed up good shit hurts also passed out hit my head really hard before too
Smashed my head really hard to many times used to worrie me lol could feel it funny sensation in my nose each time
Think that I have had a undiagnosed trumatic brain injury or two
I am ok need cannabis and peace

This is the only time I get headaches, but even then it's very rare. When I am dehydrated I usually get cramps in my arms first, then the back of my calves.
I don't ever get headaches though, and have seen people that get migraines, sympathize with them very much because that must suck.

Yeah everyone talks about noise making it worse but you're the only other person I've hear say no sound hurts. I'm the same way. Need gentle white noise. I've never had a shower make me feel much better tho. Half the time it makes me nauseous. No idea why. Maybe just too much stimulation

I drink loads of water and take ibuprofen & codeine. I'm blessed though - my bro gets migranes that put him out for days at a time. I only get them if I party too hard and don't drink enough water.
Fuck migranes for a laugh. Sounds like hell.

My ex was like that, she needed white noise to fall asleep at night. It was really annoying she would leave the tv on often with just static...
I am the opposite where I have trouble sleeping unless its near silent so it made for a lot of long nights...
