My first recommendation is for the person suffering from chronic headache or any type of headache, ordinary or severe, to try Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT. I have just published a hubpage to serve as a general introduction to this technique and to relate my personal experiences using EFT.. Please check this out http://hubpages.com/hub/eft-headache for details.

My other recommendation to the headache sufferer would be to observe and identify the usual causes of his or her headache attacks and to avoid such triggers as much as possible. For example, don't skip meal if what triggers your headache is not taking meal on time. Avoid tension, loud surroundings, too much fatty or salty food, etc.. One should rest if the cause of the headache is fatigue. Headache is usually a signal of the body that some area of our system requires attention. As in any other dis-ease conditions, knowing the cause is halfway towards conquering the problem and providing for the remedy.

Never resent your headache because the more you resist it, the more it will persist. Do some positive self talk and love even your headache and it will soon go away. If avoidance and/or rest does not provide the healing, engage in your favorite leisure activities by yourself or preferably with your friends. You might just need some break and recreation. Balance not only your body but also your life.In case of the sudden onset of pain, try to relax and or pray or meditate (the best way you know how). Getting in touch of your inner self usually brings peace, wholeness and, therefore, healing.

If you think you have done everything possible and imaginable within your sole power and still the headache persists and recurs, it could be that it is time to ask for medical help . Headache could be a symptom of something deeper going on in your psyche or in your physiology which would require professional advice either from a psychologist or from a medical doctor. Although this is not creative, the last recourse but practical option is to ask for help. Hope this helps.
