I'm curious. What are y'all's go tos for headaches and/or migraines besides pain medicine and water? I usually go for the "curl up and die" option. Sometimes I'll do a classic lemon tea, or sob into the cat's fur. I once heard, and tried, to relieve a sinus headache with pressure points. (Think it was the skin between thumb and index finger?)

Usually whenever I get a headache, I either tug on my hair from the base of my scalp and on both sides (strange I know, but it works for me, and it's a 50% chance of it working!) or I take a nap whenever I have spare time and have nothing going on today, and sleeping it off always works, though I only do it when the headache is bothering me for too long and if I'm not doing any work. I also drink a lot of water because there's times when I forget to hydrate properly and that's usually the cause of my headaches.

If anyone plans on trying to relieve headaches or migraines with the hair pulling method, it can be pulled gently or a little rough, depending on how people can handle the ouchies. But don't pull the hairs out, last thing you want is to lose a hundred hair follicles in the process!

Also be sure to hydrate, especially when it's hot outside or if you spend a lot of time outdoors!
