Hi @catharbert I am using the Shifa tea as recommended by Hank @jesfactsmon. At the time, I got mine rather quickly through Amazon. I use 1/2 the bag to steep with 4 cups of water for 1 1/2 hours. The only difference I do is to freeze the tea in ice cube trays instead because I like it cold. I take 2 cubes at a time added to about 1/2 cup of cold water and drink that slowly when the headache starts. I first drank the tea when the headache was full blown. The headache remained but decreased in intensity. I found the tea totally eliminates my headache at the start. Hope this helps. Toni

Hi Cathy, the tea is called Shifa Turmeric Headache Relief Tea, here is the link:

I just noticed it says it's currently unavailable from Amazon where I usually get ours. That happens occasionally, I think because it's a small company and they have a lag between batches. I've sometimes had to wait for a bit, 2 or 3 weeks sometimes to get it. Anyway, it has been helpful to my wife Linda who brews up a pot of it and keeps it in the fridge and just adds an ounce or two at a time to a cup of hot water and sips it. The pain relief seems to last longer the slower she takes it in. It seems to work for different types of headaches.
In case you are interested, here is how Linda makes hers: one half bag in a little over a quart of water on low boil for a couple hours on the stove.
Best, Hank
