There are different headaches with different causes.  People at
various times have considered the following herbs or combinations
of them to provide headache relief:  cayenne, cinnamon, ginger,
cardamom, valerian, ginkgo leaf, peppermint, scullcap, pueraria,
chrysanthemum, feverfew, white willow bark (the original source of
aspirin), and lavender.
The most effective individual herb of the lot for the generic
headache is probably lavender (Lavandula officinalis).  The
prescription according to _The Backyard Medicine Chest_ by
Douglas Schar for using lavender is:  "Add two teaspoons dried
flowers to one cup boiling water, remove from heat, let stand
ten minutes, and strain.  Drink as many cups as it takes for the
headache to go away."
