non-drug headache remedies...

i've had a pain in the ass headache for about 3 weeks now, and although it's usually pretty mild (more nagging ache than pain), it's getting annoying.
i have been taking paracetamol for it. not max dose, or anything like, maybe just a couple of pills a day, but i know if you take it for too long you get rebound headaches, and the last thing i want to do is make it worse.
normally when my head hurts i use the glass of water and a nap method, which ordinarily works fine, but this one is just not shifting. those 4head aromatherapy things have fallen at the post too.
any ideas for other things that might relieve it without having to take any more pills?
