Home remedies for headaches
Ginger
Ginger decreases the pain of the blood vessels in the head, thus relieving headaches. Prepare a paste by adding 2 tablespoons of water to the dry ginger powder. Apply it on the forehead.
• Mix lemon juice and ginger juice in equal amounts. Drink it 1-2 times a day.
• Chew 1 to 2 pieces of ginger candy (crystallized).
• Boil raw ginger or ginger powder in water for a few minutes. Inhale its vapor.

Ice pack
Ice reduces inflammation and relieves pain. To soothe migraines, apply an ice pack to the back of your neck. Otherwise, soak a washcloth in ice water. Put it on your head for 5-7 minutes. Repeat this several times. Or, wrap some frozen vegetables in a bag. Use it as a cold compress on the head to get rid of the pain.

Apples
Sprinkle a little salt on apple slices; eat in the morning for a week. It will balance the alkali and acid levels in the body, thus providing relief from chronic headaches.

Lemon
Remove the outer coating (rind) from 2-3 lemons. Prepare a dough by crushing and chopping the crust. Apply this paste on the forehead.

Honey
Take 1½ cup of milk and add 2 teaspoons of cinnamon powder and 1 teaspoon of honey to it. Stir it properly. Drink it twice a day when you are suffering from headaches. Or, sip water mixed with honey on an empty stomach every morning to cure chronic headaches naturally.

Cloves
Cloves work as a natural pain reliever and relieve tension headaches. Crush some cloves and place them in a clean cloth. Whenever you get a headache, breathe in the scent of crushed cloves.
• Alternatively, mix a tablespoon of carrier oil with 2 drops of clove oil. Use this mixture to massage your temples and forehead.
• Or, mix 2 drops of clove oil, 1 teaspoon of sea salt and 2 teaspoons of coconut oil. Rub the mixture on your forehead.
