Next time you're suffering from a headache or feel one coming on try a warm foot bath with a cold compress around your neck.
My clients who suffer from headache's love this one!

1)fill tub half way with nice warm water
2)wet a tea towel with ice cold water (or have one that is on hand in the freezer)
3)perch on the side of the tub and submerge feet and calves while
wrapping cold compress around your neck
4)Try this out for a few min. making sure to not exceed 5 minute (you will get lightheaded)

if you do get lightheaded before the times up- time to get out and take compress off!
