What are some natural remedies for migraines?

  • Answer:

    For treating symptoms: Feverfew will help the pain, ginkgo biloba aids circulation and can reduce sensitivity to light and sound, peppermint will help with the nausea. At the onset: Take lecithin (between 3 and 6 1,200 mg capsules ) at the first sign of a migraine- it lessens both length and severity of the headache. Inhale essential oil of lavender at the beginning of a migraine- this also can lessen pain and duration. To prevent occurrences: Avoid avocados, aged meats, chocolate, MSG, nitrites, canned fish, alcohol and dairy products.

Feverfew is good.

Everything which relaxes, e.g. magnesium, potassium, valeriana, St. John's wort, melissa.

I take a combination of feverfew & butterbur as a preventive. I use to take Topamax but it gave me bad side effects. Caffeine can help if you have a migraine, otherwise ice helps. Herbals really dont work when youre in the middle of a headache, only as preventives.

Quit drinking caffeine! Drink plenty of fluids and take vitamins daily!

Lots of water. Chamomile tea is very relaxing. Try mental exercises, like lying on your back in a relaxed mode and closing your eyes, beginning from your toes, simply say in your mind, "toes relax," "foot relax", ankles, ect. until you get to your head. You may very well fall asleep before you have finished. You may think this funny or a joke, but it does work. Try it and let me know the result.

Chiropractic has been the only thing I have seen work long time. It takes a couple months but you can seriously reduce the frequency and severity with 8-12 treatments! Bes luck.

this wont cure it but it will help a little.....breathe deep and slow. it puts more oxygen in your system and in your blood and in your brain. and dont smoke when having a migraine, it denys oxygen to the brain. I learned that the hard way thinking that smoking a substance that usually helps with pain will help with a migrain.....nope....it gets worse.
