Home remedies for migraines?

Generally, the best treatment for a migraine is to sleep. So when you feel one coming on and you can afford the time to take a nap.

Feverfew is suppose to be good for migraines also notice if you get them from eating certain foods. Relax in a hot tub with lavender oil wear really comfortable shoes and clothes dim lights. massage your neck and your temples, sometimes rubbing the top of your head helps too. Magnesium before you go to sleep helps too.

here is some helpful info

the only thing that has helped me was topamax. the dr. said to take it daily, but i don't i only take it when necessary, and thats 1-3 tmes a month. also, if you are pregnant, you can't take topamax cause it causes birth defects. at home i turn off all the lights, sounds, make it as dark as possible, drink green tea, and just try to relax, have someone rub your head if possible.. and put a hot/warm washcloth on your head. i have always found this to help opening up the blood flow of the vessels.

I have had awesome success with putting something like icyhot or flexall on my temples, forehead or the back of my neck.(I've even used this for sinus headaches across my nose and under my eyes---just don't get it in your eye!) I was having them 2-3 times a month also and I tried this and haven't had a full blown migraine for 4 months! And I used to hit the urgent care to get a shot every time! Now, I do this and also take ibuprofen. And another thing that works for me is to use one of those herbal sented bean bag style things that you can heat up in the microwave and lay it across your eyes and forehead and lay down for an hour or so. I combine these things when I get a headache that I'm sure is turning into a migraine and it takes it away before it becomes full blown! Can't hurt to try...

I drink chamomile tea and stay in a dark, quiet room. My mom had them and went to the doc and got Topamax, which made her have health issues, so I avoided that one. I took Excedrin Migraine for awhile, but they got unbearable so I sucked it up and went to the doc. IMITREX is a Godsend. You don't have to take it every day, you just take it when you feel a migraine coming on and it stops it. It's a wonderful thing! I would honestly talk to a doctor about it.

Cayenne Pepper: Taking cayenne inside the nose helps to open up the blood vessels. This enables the blood to get nutrients to all parts of the brain. Warning - this can burn a bit, so keep the grains of cayenne down to as few as possible. To stop a migraine follow these simple steps: Open the capsule and dip the flat end of a dry toothpick into the cayenne to pick up 3-4 grains. Block one nostril and gently put cayenne up the other nostril. Sniff deeply 3-4 times until you feel the flecks of pepper in your throat. (If you don't feel this, do it again). Once you feel the warmth in your throat, you headache should be gone in minutes Drop of peppermint oil on finger and hold to roof of mouth for 30seconds to one minute. reapply. Magnesium Lemon peel crust as someone mentioned..

I don't exactly get migraine but I've had bad headaches atleast once a week my whole life and small headaches just about every day. I use one of those eye masks that I stick in the freezer and lay down or I use one of those corn sacks that I stick in the microwave.

dark room,all the lights and tv out for an hour or 2 and it,s cheap as chips....it does work
