5 Zany Ways to Cure a Headache

Got a throbbing headache that just won’t quit? Over the years, folks have come up with more headache remedies than you can shake an aspirin bottle at. Here’s an assortment of the weirdest — and surprisingly, most effective:

1. Soak for 20 minutes in a steamy hot bath while holding an ice pack on your head. The hot/cold combo will ease the pain by drawing blood away from your head and narrowing the blood vessels in your scalp.

2. Tape a fresh mint leaf on the part of your head that hurts the most, and keep it there until you feel relief.

3. Stick your tongue out about ½ inch, and bite down on it as hard as possible without hurting yourself. Hold the position for 10 minutes — no less and no more.

4. Soak a large white cloth in vinegar, wring it out, and tie it tightly around your head. Keep it in place until the pain is gone.


5. Slice a fresh lime in half, and slowly but firmly rub a cut side on the site of the ache. The pain should vanish pronto.
