No one likes to have a headache. But there is new advice for getting rid of it. Next time you've got a headache, you don't need to reach for medicine. Think tiny needles--acupuncture--instead.
I know acupuncture is kind of scary, but it really doesn't hurt. And it's an all-natural, totally safe remedy for headaches. According to the December issue of the journal Anesthesia & Analgesia, 62 percent of headache sufferers felt better with acupuncture. Only 45 percent felt relief after taking medicine, according to an article in USA Today.

I have to admit, I've tried acupuncture, and I love it. I would get it all the time if it were super cheap--though I hear that in some places, it is. Acupuncture is thought to treat many issues from infertility to body aches to boosting immunity.
Would you try acupuncture for headaches or other issues?

Hm.... I don't think it's for me. My mom and sis tried acupuncture once to quit smoking, and it didn't work at all.
There is a cheaper way to get rid of headaches. We have a pressure point in each hand - in that chunk of flesh between our thumb and first finger. If we can find that pressure point and apply pressure to both sides, when we have a headache, the headache subsides.
This also works for me when I have a stomach ache sometimes if my stomach is upset because of nerves, but that may be all in my head, I don't know....lol!
I would try it yes..... and do plan to do so soon. Pressure Points ork well also...Aromatherapy and Essential oils work best for me....or I sleep it off.
