How To Treat Headache

Sometimes in the middle of our activity, suddenly we feel our head becomes heavy and we feel like there is rubbish inside and we want to remove it then clean it and put again in its place, and suddenly we feel pounding pain on it. It's called headache. Headache (medically known as cephalalgia, sometimes spelled as cephalgia) is a condition of pain in the head; sometimes neck or upper back pain may also be interpreted as a headache caused by lack of oxygen and glucose in brain. It ranks amongst the most common local pain complaints. Treatment of uncomplicated headache is usually symptomatic with over-the-counter painkillers such as aspirin, paracetamol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen, although some specific forms of headaches (e.g. migraine) may demand other, more suitable treatment.

But, sometimes we don't like to take medicine because we think medicines contain of chemical structures that we don't like. No problem without medicine we still can treat our headache, just do some treatments as follow :
