I think the clay crocodile is tied onto your head with strips of linen with prayers written on them, though I never found either praying or cursing ever helped my headaches. At least a dead mole (fresh, I hope) would be soft ...

Otherwise, soluble aspirin (formerly known as willow bark.)

That would mean drying them -- or do they have to be fresh?<br /><br />I'm as much intrigued by the clay crocodile -- how big was it? How heavy, when applied to your poor aching head? At least you could keep one of those around. Was it a sort of prayer to the croc-headed god?
