They can have many causes and there are many ayurvedic remedies.

Home Remedies :

• Apply a paste of freshly ground clay or freshly ground sandalwood to the forehead, let dry, rub off by hand and wash.
• When not suffering from a cold, drink a teaspoon of honey in a glass of warm water or fill the stomach completely with water.
• Massage forehead, temples, neck and shoulder muscles, making sure to use a little oil to prevent chafing and burning (see also Ayurvedic Massage)
• If before sunrise or after sunset and the stomach is empty, do a head stand. This increases blood flow in the head and stops most forms of headache.

Headaches most often are caused by problems elsewhere in the body, as can be seen on the following overview :
