Persistent Headache - Cures?!
Question: I have a headache that has lasted over three days. It is in the base of my neck and back of my skull. It is so painful its distracting even when I take paracetemol. I have tried rest and lots of water to no avail. I know I could go to the doctor but I feel like I would be wasting time because they can't usually do anything for a headache. Anyone got any home remedies for headaches I could try?

definatley get a massage. also there is a pressure point in your hand that will relieve headaches. it is in the muscle between you thumb and forefinger on either hand. basically squeeze and massage between those fingers and it will help. for me it make my headaches go away.
The remedy you need is exercises. What you have is stress. This is almost always in the locations you mention. You can massage the base of your skull with your thumbs, sort of rotating and do the same for your temples. Not too strong, but on your temples, it's very soothing. Your stress has a source, find where from and remove it.
Take care.
A headache lasting 3 days even with the use of paracetomol is no normal headache. I urge you to go to the doctor and explain you have had a headache that has lasted 3 days. He/she will refer you for tests, most likely a CT scan of your brain. Please be on the safe side and go to a doctor.

Cheers! Oh home remedies lol do they still exist we need our great grandmothers sometimes other than a depending on if your hot or cold a face washer on your forhead ?????
Your UB/GB Meridian seems blockage at neck where both meridians are near by.
If you are in cold country use all warm things.
Pl try cold water bath and observe if in hot country, if pain increases use warm.
If you have cough/cold body hot water bath will help.
Massage is good thing, pl try. Add sun bath and exercise to it if possible.
Pl try simple acupressure given below for immediate relief.
If it fails you will have to go for Acupuncture.
There is hardly any medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for RA, OA, Back ache, Ear ache and almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES, Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy, BODY CONSTITUTION etc are their causes.
None of them can be treated with medicine.
Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment.
I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
Pain killers don't treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds.
The useless drugs have tremendous power of side effects like liver/kidney failures, ulcer, inflammation of intestines and lot more.
Avoid late sleeping if possible; worry, tension, spicy foods, sour fruits, stale bakery foods, SMOKING and alcohole.
Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help if cough is not there.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it is very strong.
If it is acute pl search a painful point (with round tipped pen/jimmy) 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.
For forehead/eye pain the points are in front of nails on the finger tips or 3-7 mm below.
It may disappear naturally too.
