I was reading a fantastic book called Old Wives Tales.
Apparently there is a remedy for headache that does not involved any drug like paracetamol.
This cure has a royal pedigree, the Egyptian goddess Isis herself concocted the potion for Ea who once had a massive headache. I supposed it worked as it came to pass to generation to generation.
I wonder if anyone had tried this potion in recent time?!!!

Cure for headache
The potion:
Coriander berries
Berries of the Xaset plant
Wormwood
Berries of the Sames plant
Junifer Berries
Honey
Mix these together and then smear on the head.
