Hey Renee, I get both tension and migraines. Sometimes, not always, inhaling rosemary oil, available at some HFS, helps me. I sit and inhale it, pure, for a half hour or so. It help shrink the vessels in your sinuses and face which are causing the throbbing pain. I've also soaked my feet in a hot bath 15 mintues or so, then so lie down with an ice pack on my forehead and snooze for a couple of hours. Depending on the day one or the other helps me, but like I said, not always. Good luck, headaches are AWEFUL, especially on top of IBS!
