You can follow this balanced dietary plan indefinitely.

Lemon juice – mixed with one cup of tea can reduce headache severity. Apples – pare the upper rind and remove the innermost core of a ripe apple. Discard these parts and eat the remainder with salt on an empty stomach. Do this each day for a solid week.

Cover the afflicted individual’s head with a cloth and have them inhale the aroma from the cup for as long as possible to relieve the headache.
