I bought a peanut butter milkshake to cheer up my sister when she had a headache and she noticed it got better soon after she had some. Next time she had a headache I bought her another one as a joke that it would cure her, and it happened again. Next time she tried eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and that helped! Strangely it doesn't seem to work every single time... we're trying to figure out why it works at all.
Any other odd headache tricks to share?
-
Are they migraines or just regular headaches?
My spouse gets migraines and likes peanut butter.LOL!
-
Drinking dill pickle juice works for me, but I just get regular headaches
-
It could just depend on the headache...possibly it was due to hunger in which case food would help....I find drinks like smoothies and water tend to help if I have small headaches too
-
I never heard of that but I will tell my sister. She has terrible migraines, hopefully it might help.
-
Thank God I don't get headaches except for hunger headaches or when I don't have my coffee in the morning, but I heard that putting banana peel on your forehead will help.
-
Possibly dehydration might be the problem that's causing the headaches and any liquid would be helpful.
Migraines might be a different story. I feel sorry for those that have that kind of headache.
I don't get headaches anymore, but I would take ibuprofen and rest if I did.
-
Drink water, use your AC (air conditioner)...any other ways?
I think walking and exercising also helps.

I've heard that dill pickle juice works too! I haven't had a headache in a long time, but think it would be worth a try to drink pickle juice.
-
Wish I knew about this peanut butter thing when I used to get headaches a lot back several years ago or even see if it might work for migraines which I used to get like twice a year. Now, I just sleep it off.
-
Very interesting! Might give it a try the next time I have get a headache
-
two tablets of ibruprofen and go lie down. works for me.

Probably migraines.. she gets them like clockwork, they last 2-3 days and no painkiller will touch it.
-
Do you think it is better to practice traditional medicine or to self-cure? Didn't you think it could lead to bad aftermath? Maybe you should just go to the doctor?
-
I agree that you should not self-medicate, but rather traditional medicine. My friend almost got himself into a big brain gap. Thank God that at the last moment he turned to neurologists from a https://brooklynneurologist.com/ (https://brooklynneurologist.com/) wonderful company. They quickly raised him to his feet and everything worked out, but if he pulled further or healed himself, there would be problems.
-
As far as I know I have never had a migraine headache, just regular headaches. I'm glad I don't have migraine headaches because I have heard they are so painful.
-
Okay the pickle is good for you. tell her to eat cucumbers peel it just incase they are bitter. boil cabbage and then drink the water yep. and get her to take good-type=brand of fish krill salmon oils high dose fer a while. Get this pill brand called Cognium that you have seen on tv, it is for memory and such, a protein that your brain takes-in I think it works :glasses-nerdy: If these don't work really you need to go to the Doc's. You know can be caused from your eyes, or your ears, or your teeth and or even your feet. or she maybe sensitive to everything in her world I hope for the best for you.
-
I always drink plenty of fluids and try to rest if it is really bad.
-
A nice, warm shower.
-
some of these cures for headaches seem rather unusual. especially the dill pickle juice and the peanutbutter.
But if they work tha't great! I am glad i don't get many headaches anymore! :rainbow: :rose: :peace: :wave:
-
rubbing the area between the thumb and the index finger - I think it relieves the stress.
-
Peanut Butter for headaches? I have never heard of that cure.
-
If you pinch the skin between your thumb and index finger it's supposed to get rid of a headache.
-
Some of these are interesting and I agreed weird cures for headaches. I stick with extra strength tylenol which works well for me.

My wife sells doTERRA essential oils and they work wonders on a lot of different ailments. I don't know what is included, but there is an oil blend called Past Tense that does a bang up job on headaches. She has it in a roller ball applicator bottle and just a small roll across the back of the neck usually knocks that headache out pretty quick!

Please do! Different people have had different levels of success with it.
There is an oil blend called Tri-Ease that has helped my daughter with allergies and very sensitive urticaria on her skin when other more conventional medicines wouldn't touch it.
And there is another blend called DigestZen that works wonders on upset stomach, nausea, and indigestion. You rub a bit of it on your belly (it smells like black licorice) and it is amazing how quickly it can help. I had bad nausea when I needed gallbladder surgery several years ago and that oil blend was a tremendous help to me.
Many other oils and blends for lots of different ailments and issues. I hope your spouse has some success with the Past Tense!

Thanx.Might consider the product for nausea.My son gets it quite a bit.
I had my first gall bladder attack in 2011.I rode it out for about a yr and a yr later had another attack and had the belly button surgery.Might be worst pain i ever had.I couldnt wait till they shot me up with pain killers and i hate drugs thats how severe pain was.
Ill keep you posted.Does your wife make $$$ selling the products?
-
This was interesting reading of the many different ways to help with headaches. Usually when I get one it is dehydration or hunger. My daughter gets horrible migraines, she has a prescription to take as soon as she feels one coming on.

She makes a small amount, but not much. Mostly she earns rewards points that she can then use toward reducing the pricing of future orders that she places. She could make a lot more than she does, but she does not like to be pushy in trying to sell and she never charges people the full retail amount that she reasonably could. She often gives away tiny bottles of free samples for people to try first before they invest anything in it because she wants folks to know that it works for them before they shell out $$$ on something they might later consider to be snake oil. And for many of the people who buy from her regularly, she often only charges them the wholesale price that she is able to get it for (or at a very small markup) rather than the full reasonable retail markup that people seeking pure profit might do.
Her rationale is that she is still getting something out of it since she gets reward points for the volume ordered - so as long as her own supply and shipping costs are covered, she is usually happy enough with just that. It's not the best business model in terms of profit, but it's also just a side gig and not her primary income. So if she is happy doing it that way and she has several regular repeat customers - then I figure it is up to her to decide how she handles it all.
It is also set up like a pyramid model where she can sign people up as 'wellness advocates' under her if they are interested and would buy enough product to make it worth their while to sign up that way. Then she would get a partial credit for any sales/orders they make. Some people hear "pyramid" and immediately think it must be a scam MLM or ponzi scheme - but in this case the product works and is a benefit to a lot of people who order it. She kind of just leaves it up to folks to sign up if they decide it is worth the cost - or just buy the oils from her directly at a relatively cheap overall price.
(LONG answer to a very simple question!) ;)

No prob with your answer.
Sounds like she has a good heart to make sure customers are satisfied.Nothing wrong with that.
I had mentioned in mid 90s i was with a company called Kaire Int from Longmont Co.They had a cassette out that explained a healthcare product called pycnogenol.The company was MLM.I built up a decent downline and then they changed format and it was tougher to earn.I know what you mean when others worry about pyramid schemes.
Anyway we will look into the headache stuff and possibly the nausea stufff.Ill keep U posted and if theres a way your wife could make a few bucks cos we like the products its food for thought.
I had mentioned Purity Products a company i am with for 15 yrs and love their stuff.Its NOT MLM.They have a web-site and are from LI,NY.I think a little pricy but again A+ from BBB.Give em a look.

As I was trolling through some old posts about to expire and trying to bring them some new life before being locked forever, I came across this gem right in the last day or so before the end! Lucky that I went searching!
Donnamarge, were you ever able to find/use the headache or nausea oils? Just curious to know if they were able to work for you.

I don't get a lot of headaches, but I appreciate the information and the next time I do have a headache I will try some of these weird cures.

There are many cures for headaches. This is not surprising, nor weird.
