There are several home remedies that may help treat headaches.
For example, if dehydration is causing a headache, drinking water can help quickly improve the symptoms (11).
Taking pain relievers such as ibuprofen can also help reduce headache pain (67).
Relaxing in a dark room, using a cold compress, smelling some peppermint or lender essential oils, drinking some caffeine, and oiding loud noises may also help reduce headache severity.
However, keep in mind that these remedies may not be effective for everyone. Effective treatments depend on the type and cause of the headache you’re experiencing.
