Inexpensive headache relief options?

I use a spray called bio freeze. It’s menthol. It really helps pain in a specific area. There’s always cannabis. That helps a lot but sort of expensive. It buffers your mind which in turn helps you forget the pain. It’s legal for recreational use here so easy to just go buy it.

Have you tried anything topical? I use menthol balm (I’ve got tiger balm) and I rub in on my temples and neck. Also an excuse to massage your face a bit.

Excedrin migraine works for me but I hate the side effects I get I'm very sensitive

sometimes excedrin extra strength works but honestly my body has gotten so used to that that prescription only works for me now 😥

For migraines? I haven’t found that any OTC meds work for mine, only prescription.

Not sure if you're interested in herbal or health food remedies, but tumeric, ginger, and cloves are great for pain management as well as essential oils such as lavender, peppermint (my fav), and eucalyptus.
