Headache remedy?

[Denim Deb]

I saw this on an old TV show I was watching the other day and wondered if anyone has ever heard of this, or tried it.

For a headache that won't go away and responds to nothing else, take a piece of brown paper and soak it in vinegar. Then, put it on your forehead.

Supposedly, in just a short period of time, your headache will be gone.

The ones I get are in a bright yellow gel cap. has a bit of a funky flavor tho. Do not chew haha..

Some lavender essential oil massaged into the temples could help relieve a headache...

I've heard of hot water and ACV as a steam treatment to cure a headache, so it might not be far off.

I think that's just a "here you go now shut up and quit complaining" remedy. Jack and Jill went up the hill.....patched it with vinegar and brown paper....ring any bells?

Huh, never heard of that. I'd try peppermint or wintergreen essential oil first, on the roof of my mouth if I had to.
Heck, if I have a head ache that won't go away, I'll try just about anything!! I don't think it would hurt anyway...

I remember hearing something like that from when I was a kid. Never thought about it, though.
hmmmmmmmmmm okay, I'm game, I'll give it a shot next time I get a headache and report back.

There are so many types/causes of headaches - allergy, sinus, migraine, tension, living my life sometimes... I know first hand how vinegar can relieve pain, so who knows?
