If you’ve ever suffered with a pounding headache then you know that you would do just about anything to get rid of it. These 20 natural remedies can knock out even the most severe headache, all without having to deal with any side effects.
Last week the hubby came home with one of those headaches. Unfortunately, we were out of any medicine to treat it, however, I did have my list of Grandma’s Home Remedies to turn to. As I was flipping through all of the tips I was amazed at how many remedies there were.
To help the hubby’s headache, he drank a cup of strong, caffeinated coffee and we rubbed a little Vick’s VaporRub on his temples and forehead. About half an hour later his headache was completely gone.

Interesting. I have used caffeine to get rid of a headache. I have also used pressure and peppermint oil. Not so sure about the banana peel. My kids might think I went a little "bananas". 🙂 Thanks for the tips!!
LOL, the banana does sound a little out there.
Doesn't everyone get a headache from time to time? You have some very interesting ideas here to try and get rid of it.
Thank you for sharing with the Clever Chicks Blog Hop! I hope you’ll join us again next week!

Great list! I have had good success with eating a handful of almonds, too, and sometimes eating them with a caffeinated soda if I have a bad one.
I get really awful sinus headaches and pressing lightly between my forehead usually helps them a little. I've tried several of these other remedies before, too, and will try more of them soon!

Great tips – I'm Pinning!
I do appreciate you sharing with Home and Garden Thursday,

Lots of cool ideas here. I pinned this for when I next have a headache.
Great list of ideas. My husband rarely complain of a headache. I might try cayenne powder and ginger next time but not sure about banana peel. Bookmarked this!
Great list! The pencil trick is one recommended by my physical therapist when I had treatment for TMJ — works! The potato is going to be my choice next time I have a headache — just sounds like it would work because it is so off the wall. 🙂

Great tips!! The banana peel on the forehead sounds interesting. lol.
I wonder if eating a banana wouldn’t help.
Thanks for sharing #HomeMattersParty
Banana peels are great for so many things, like soothing dry skin.
