Do you use “folk remedies” for headache?

This is a bit of a tricky one, because of the vagueness of the term “folk remedy”. Does that include home remedies? Self help? Is using ice a “folk remedy”?
Still, I think the poll tells us something about people’s attitudes and use of different types of relief. The winner was “I’ve never tried one” at 35%, but close behind was “They’re a part of my everyday life” at 27% (Not regularly-18%, Once in a while-13%, Never again-6%).

Be sure to take part in the new poll. This time we’re focusing on how long it was before you sought professional help for your headache. The choices aren’t exact, since I use both number of attacks and years, but choose the one that seems the closest.
