Headaches happen for a number of reasons -- stress, hormones, even unusually high levels of anxiety. As anyone who suffers from migraines can attest, they make it incredibly difficult to get through even the most basic daily tasks. While you could take any number of drugs to reduce the pain (and no one would judge you), here's a few natural solutions that might do the trick:

Get a massage. Full body massage and aromatherapy can calm your nerves, and rubbing the base of your skull and behind your ears will immediately reduce the tension in those areas.

Exercise regularly. When you workout, your body produces endorphins, which act as natural painkillers.

Use a hot compress. Placing a hot pack on the back of your neck will reduce will reduce tension in a part of the body known to trigger migraines.

Take a break from caffeine. This is tricky, because caffeine can both cause, and help headaches. If you don't want to cut it out completely, try switching to a healthy source, like green tea.
