Any good remedies for migraines?

as the others have said .. the head ache stick is quite good .. as is diet ... cheese and chocolate are two of the biggest triggers !! I would advise old fasioned SMELLING SALTS .. seriously ... it clears the head like you wouldnt believe !! Good luck x

drink lots of water..headaches start because your brain tissue is shrinking from dehydration and its hurting itself, or you've hit your head recently, hope this helps you

The first thing that might be of good help is to elimanate various food items from your diet. Keep records and don't eat certain foods for a period of a week or so....bread...seafoods...various vegetables....or even drinks...colas...etc. Migraines are often the result of food allergies. If this doesn't help, then you really need to consult a physician as there are a number of medical conditions that could be the problem and drugs are available to relieve the pain.

my wife gets alot of them she uses that new stick you rub on your forhead and loves it it go,s in no time

im a fellow sufferer, and what a pain they are. firstly, you need to work out what your triggers are, keep a diary, recording sleep and food an even weather. this way you might be able to see a pattern and therefore avoid the things that start them off. once the dreaded pain starts, i honestly dont know of anything that can help in terms of herbal remedies. however i think dark room, bed and damp cloth on forehead and maybe back of neck can ease the pain enough to resume some normal activity. im sorry im not much help, although i do understand what its like to be a migraine sufferer.

Sleep is the best medicine

For some treatment, aside from just lying back to bed, take some pain relievers just as usual as you do when you have the attack. To PREVENT it, try to keep a diary of migraine triggers which you can present to a doctor should you cannot tolerate the pain anymore. Also try to get regular sleep, activity (immobility can trigger headache) and well balanced meals. be able to manage stress wisely and lastly, avoid smoking nor being a secondhand smoker. Have you tried acupuncture? this will involve putting very thin needles into the skin at certain points on the body to produce energy flow along the body's meridians. This may help relax muscles and reduce headache pain.

I do not get them any more. I would tend to put it down to dehydration, but drinking lots of water can make it come on. Avoid alcohol in large amounts, avoid all fizzy drinks including keg beers and lagers and draught Guinness, avoid mixing Caembert with red wine. It is an open question on cheese and chocolate. I would cut out all types of milk. I would also avoid Olbas oil for nose complaints and peppermint might be dodgy (or the last one may be coincidence).
