What can I do for my headaches?!
Question: I occasionally get headaches when a storm is approaching or going on; I am guessing this is sinus related. The headache goes from behind my right eye across the right side of my head past my ear and seemingly down my neck to my shoulders. What kind of headache is this, and what is the best remedy to alleviate the discomfort?

I get those too!
I call them "pressure headaches."
It's as if pressure is building up in my sinuses and it also effects my eyes and the sides of my head. A dull pounding!
Here are things that I do which help (listed in no particular order):
I turn on the humidifier and breath in the moisture. If you do not have a humidifier turn the hot water on from your sink, when it starts to steam lower your head so you can breathe in the steam. Keeping the sinuses moist helps.
I try not to but as a last resort I take Excedrin or ibuprofen.
Lying down with something cold over my eyes, top & sides of the nose, and the sides of my head feels heavenly! Either a cold washcloth or if you are have one of those gel eye masks that are kept in the freezer (I have one- I love it).
I gently run my fingernails through the hair on the sides of my head (if you do not have long fingernails see if you can enlist the help of someone who does). Warning: This may coax you to sleep. :)
I also drink LOTS of water and try to keep as hydrated as possible.
I hope this helps you!
Reasons and remedies are many, but pl see what suits you.
If you are in cold country use all warm things.
If you have cough/cold body hot water bath will help.
Massage and exercise in front of morning sun is good thing, pl try.
Pl try simple acupressure given below for immediate relief.
There is hardly any medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for RA, OA, Back ache, Ear ache/ringing, Stomach ache and almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES, Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy, BODY CONSTITUTION etc are their causes.
None of them can be treated with medicine.
Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment.
I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
Pain killers don't treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds.
The useless drugs have tremendous power of side effects like liver/kidney failures, ulcer, inflammation of intestines and lot more.
Avoid late sleeping if possible; worry, tension, spicy foods, sour fruits, stale bakery foods, all cold things.
Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits like dates, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help if cough is not there. If cough use warm things.
If it is acute pl search a painful point (with round tipped pen/jimmy) 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.
For forehead/eye pain the points are in front of nails on the finger tips or 3-7 mm below.
It may disappear naturally too.
