No it doesn't have any caffeine in it that I know of.
Here's a link with some info about it:

Thanks for the info but i don't think i'll be able to take it due to my aversion to certain meds.

My mom swears by this and i remember her doing it to us when we were younger if we had a headache. Just try it. You cut a lime in half and dip both halfs into coffee grounds. The grounds will stick to the lime. Put each half onto the side of your head at your temples...so one on the left temple...one on the right and then take a cloth and wrap it over them and around your head to make them stay. The coffee and lime will make a little mess on your temples but you can just wash it off. Keep it on for about 30 min to an hr. I swear it always worked for me but try to think positive with it.

Magnesium (sp) seems to help cut down on them and prevents them for me. I think I take 300mg a day.

100% natural and non-evasive is acupuncture! I suffered from fibromyalgia and constant headaches all my life and since I get acupuncture it's all gone. A shoulder-neck massage from a massage therapist can bring you a lot of relief too...

Hope you feel better soon!

Mitzis Mom · 06-05-2009, 10:08 AM

I forgot to mention that my health insurance even pays for the acupuncture treatment...

Haleys_mom · 06-05-2009, 10:09 AM

try blowing in to a small brown lunch bag. Also chiropractors are really good at making them go away

Using the Neti Pot and irrigating my sinuses helps me. You can do a google search and check it out. It's amazing for headaches.

I can't believe no one has mentioned this but Excedrin Migraine works miracles for me, I suffer from migraines about 4-6 times a week and I just take 2 and its gone within 25 min. I consider it my miracle drug.

I have heard of cutting a lemon in half and rubbing it on temples, hadnt heard of using it with coffee. One natural cure for headaches that has been reported is the use of peppermint oil, placing a small amount of peppermint oil above your upper lip, just under the nose, can relieve headaches in some people.

yes I have heard this! I think i'll give it a try. I have very sensitive nose which can cause headaches from strong scents- but I think i'll give that a try.

I have had awful migraines for 2 years now and nothing seems to work for me. Although if I catch it right when I see "the little spots" I drink a 20 oz coke and eat a chocolate bar..(Not healthy..but it works!!) This usually makes it not as bad or so that I dont get one at all.. Its probablly all the caffiene..

Cold compresses help too...

Magnesium supplements seem to help a lot of people. Here is one article I found doing a quick google search but there are tones of them. Magnesium & Migraine | The Daily Headache I also remember reading that evening primrose oil looks promising but don't remember the details.

I had migraines about 6 or 7 times a year when I was younger. At the time I was given Tylenol 3 which worked in so far as they knocked me out until it passed. They were horrible though, crazy vision, wicked vomiting, the works. My cure was child birth. My daughter is 14 and I have not had one migraine since I became pregnant with her. Weird, huh? She's was getting them herself, hence my magnesium research, but hasn't had one in a long time. If they start back I'm going to try magnesium. Good luck- I know they suck!
