my father suggest me to drink plenty of hot water to get rid of the headache. if you drink coffee to get rid of headache, the cafeine is not good for health. also drinking hot water enhances digestion also, thereby, seting your stomach gas-free.

Good day devinambi, I used to get headaches a lot. And really bad ones. I would get them so bad that they would keep me up all night. I would get them so bad I would end up throwing up from the pain. I used to take a lot of pills for my headaches and eventually they would work and my headache would go away. I suffered all my life with these headaches. I mean I suffered from them for about 43 years of my life. And then I moved from a very humid city to a very dry city and I found I had to drink a lot more water or I felt sick. I have fainted a few times because of dehydration because it is so dry here. So I now know I have to drink lots of water. And then after about 4 months I realized I hadn't had a headache in a very long time. I couldn't even remember when I last had one. So I finally put it together, with the help of my doctor. I was getting those headaches all those years because I wasn't drinking enough water. I was dehydrating my brain. It wasn't the pills I would take that took away my headache but the water I would drink with the pills. That's why it usually took a few times of taking the pills before they worked, it was the water hydrating my brain cells. I never used to drink water because I didn't really like the taste of it, I rather drink something that tasted good so it usually meant it had sugar in it. Now I always make sure I drink at least 6 big glasses of water every day and I rarely get a headache. It has probably been about a year since I had one. If I feel like I might get one I just chug a glass of water and it doesn't come on. Cheers and happy mylotting my friend , chris

My mother read this remedy in a magazine. When you feel the onset of a migraine coming on, drink 1 huge glass of water. Our bodies need water and when we don't have enough, it causes a migraine. My sister, who suffered from migraines, has tried this a few times and it has worked for her. Give it a try.

Hi, devinambi. Welcome to myLot! I have never heard of this treatment. It sounds like it would be of some good use. My son has a slight headache right now from the Flu. I may just let him drink a little bit of warm/hot water so that he can get rid of his headache. Thanks for this information.
