5 ways to get rid of a headache without taking pills

If you have been suffering from headaches or migraines, try aromatherapy oils or candles using scents like jasmine, lavender and eucalyptus and stimulating associated acupressure points. Stress can also cause tension headaches and migraines. Practice deep breathing exercises, meditation, yoga, and progressive muscle relaxation. Aim to drink at least eight glasses of water per day. Try applying a cold compress to the forehead or neck.
