Relieve-Migrane-Headache.com  lists five natual remedies for curing your headaches:

1.  Aromatherapy:  peppermint, sandalwood, lavender and Eucalyptus are all said to be natural painkillers.

2.  Exercise:  walking and other exercise is said to release your body's natural painkillers.

3.  Massage:  a good massage obviously eases the stress than can cause headaches.

4.  Heat and Cold:  This is my favorite painkiller.  I use a bag of frozen peas to relieve headaches quickly.  I use heat on my back when the muscles are tight.
