Peppermint DOES work! It's great! You can rub it on your temples and I usually put a little under my nose. Rubbing your temples can help and some pressure points in the web of your hand (between your thumb and index finger). Put a little pressure on the 'sore' spot and it helps ease the headache away.
Also make sure you're drinking plenty of water. Sometimes we have headaches because we need more water.
White willow bark is great for pain too. It's natural and actually where aspirin originated from!

Ester c in high doses is a natural pain killer also fever few

Inhaling peppermint or lavender oil, chamomile tea, Ginkgo Biloba, garlic and cayenne pepper have all been found useful in treating non-migraine headaches.

get your eyes checked that also gives headaches peppermint is too hard try some hard coffies really helps...

I'm not sure what kind of headaches that you are talking about but you might want to check into massage therapy. Many headaches are caused by the muscles being too tight in the neck or shoulders. I have recently had my fair share of these. Also, if you grind your teeth then you will be prone to headaches all the time. Massage therapy also helps for this as well. Oh, and acupuncture. I have had success with that method. I had a recurring headache for a week. I had an appointment for acupuncture and she put a couple of pins in for the headache and it was gone.

These breathing exercises will cure your headache.Drink warm water.
Build up your timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume after 1 minute.
Kapalbhati -(Do it before eating) Push air forcefully out through the nose about once per second. Stomach will itself go in(contract in). The breathing in(through the nose) will happen automatically. Establish a rhythm and do for upto 15 minutes twice a day.(Max 60 min/day) Not for pregnant women. Seriously ill people do it gently.
