Answers:
The peppermint oil suggestion was excellent! I used to use this tangerine mint aromatherapy gel, very good to use when you're sick to your stomach and waiting for the meds to take hold. When I ran out of this and was in a pinch, I use just plain muscle rub. Just rub a bit on your temples and forehead well away from your eyes. It's instant relief.
One thing to think about too nobody has mentioned is make sure you don't have high blood pressure. It's very important to consult with a professional whether a homeopathic, naturopathic or other doctor you're comfortable with that you don't have this condition. Serious complications could arise and you could be faced with something far worse than a migraine.
Stay well hydrated, don't smoke or drink and examine your diet to see if there are specific triggers that you think may cause a headache. Maintaining a healthy vitamin and mineral regimen with the help of someone trained to assist you in this is crucial. Keep a diet and pain journal if this is ongoing and try to chart your B.P. along with it if you have a cuff. Stress, diet, weather, pollution, in-home irritants, allergies, hormones, Rx drugs, illicit drugs... all these can play a very real role in your daily comfort. Stay informed and God Bless!
