It actually works. My mom used to do it all the time for me when I suffered from severe migraines.

We used to put potato cut in slices on your forehead. That's a mediterranean tradition.

Cut a potato into 4 pieces, place 2 in the center of your forehead and two at your temple (Hold the ones at your temples in place). Lay down in a dark room and close your eyes. It takes a while to work but it takes away the throbbing. Something in the potato has a pain reducer. It sounds crazy (I thought my mom was a loony) but it works when you try it.
