Looking for an alternative to aspirin that have worked for others. I don't use it all the time, or even that often but more and more I want to lower my usage of pills when possible. Suggestions?

Use...........use drugs .
Keep track of your water intake. I know the days I get bad headaches are always the days I don't get enough water... and dehydration is a big reason you can get a headache.
For me, staying hydrated and having some coffee or other forms of caffeine, will typically keep me headache free. When I do get truly bad migraines, I reach for excedrin or generic migraine medication, but I try to avoid it.
Warm towel across your eyes..
Massage temples
Hot chrysanthemum tea (nasty as hell but cures most of my ailments including headache)
Last resort BC powder(flavored kind), trying to get away from aspirin and ibuprofen. Long term affects of those products can cause liver disease.
Good Luck op.

I swear on everything i was just about to make a thread about what to take for headachesWater intake is the reason for 90% of my headaches. So when I stop exercising the headaches come because I don't drink water as much
