Need an instant headache cure? Grab a pencil from your drawer of office supplies and bite down on it (but not too hard). Tension headaches commonly occur from overexerting your jaw muscles, and biting down on a pencil is a quick way to relax them.

If you don't have a pencil on hand, you can also try munching on almonds, as almonds contain the natural form of aspirin called salicin. Additionally, you can place an ice pack on your head and place your feet in hot water to draw the blood flow away from your head and to your feet.

Don't forget to also try gentle yoga poses, apple cider vinegar, essential oils, and a good shot of caffeine.
