HI Deb,
I have an x girl friend (since 4 days ago) who is totally into the whole herbal, yoga, natural healing thing. So I and many others on this board have tried it all. My self have spent thousands on this type of treatment. No relief. What has helped me more than any thing has been to finally be properly diagnosed, getting the proper meds from my neuro and finding this message board.
The people here can give you more information and help that you can absorb in one day. 
If you would like to no what the Board thinks of energy healing go check out Bob Ward International Healers post while you are waiting for more replies to your post
Stick around Deb you’ll be feeling better soon!

If you're curious, give Bob a call.
When something is touted as free, I've learned, you usually get what you pay for.

Hey Deb, the brain scan is no biggie, we all get one.
The worst part about it was laying in that tube while the local natives play a drum solo for you.
The actupucture In my view is not at all a scam like many think, I feel strongly that it doe's have healing properties in many cases. Only problem is they would have to puncture in to the center of our brain and I don't think they are that accurate. 
I have had a lot of people tell me they could cure my headache, Chiropracter, Accupuncture, Herbalist, Message, Nutritionist, ect.ect. The fact is you spend a lot of money so these people can learn they no nothing about cluster headache and they can't fix you. If they were willing to do these practices for free, for their own learning it would be worth a try.
Stay cool Deb you'll be glad you had the scan

Brain scan -> yes should get one.
Acupuncture -> no wont help CH but may help you relax.
Reflexology -> no wont help CH but may tickle your feet !

I tried Chiropractic and Acupuncture. Neither helped. Sorry. I have one year with daily attacks. At least two per day without exception.
The only things that have helped me are O2, Ibuprofen, and Coffee.
Good Luck

A very good friend was diagnosed with clusters after being thrown from a horse and in the hospital in a coma for three weeks.
After a year of the neuro and regular meds rounds, she quit the drugs, used only 02 and began acupuncture. She went weekly and after 6 months began to notice a slowdown in the number of attacks and the intensity of attacks. After 8 months, no more CH.
I don't know if the acupuncture had anything to do with or if she just cycled out of them. I've met five people so far who had clusters for a year or two and that was it. The "acupuncture" friend has been pain free for 6 years now.

I went to the chiropractor for an adjustment, and the very next day a CH Cycle started for me. I thought it was going to miss me this year.
Don't know if it had anything to do with it or not. Was at the doctors last week and he asked if i wanted another adjustment and I quickly said NO!
My doctor is also a chiropractor....
He sure likes to give me pills like candy when i ask, but no Oxygen. I told him I bought welder's oxygen and he just looks at me funny. He says i know more about Ch than he does, so he says whatever works keep doing it.
