Medically speaking a migraine is defined as a severe, pulsating headache, that is often associated with autonomic symptoms and is typically unilateral (only affecting one of half of the head), usually lasting anywhere from four to seventy two hours. Symptoms of migraine headaches can include blurred vision, lightheadedness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, as well as sensitivity to both light and sound.
Many times the first recommended course of action for those who seek to find migraine relief is that of prescription medications. However, most of the prescription migraine medications that are used can cause a variety of negative side effects or even worse become habit forming. There are other options besides prescription medications; one such option to finding migraine relief is by using supplemental treatments.
Supplemental Treatments
• Magnesium – Research has shown that most individuals who suffer from migraine headaches have a lower level of magnesium then when compared to those who do not have migraines. Therefore, this can be corrected with supplemental treatments of magnesium that can help with the painful symptoms of migraine headaches, especially those that might be triggered by the hormonal onset of a monthly cycle in women.
• Vitamin B2 – is another excellent option for preventative and supplemental treatments to migraine headaches. In fact, studies have shown that it can reduce the frequency and severity of a migraine attacks. Additionally, Vitamin B2 is safe for women to take while pregnant, and it does not cause toxicity.
• 5-hydroxytryptophan – This particular for of supplement treatments is a natural substance that is an amino acid that is made by the body from tryptophan; it is then converted into serotonin which is a very important brain chemical. Serotonin can help to reduce the intensity and frequency of migraine attacks by decreasing the constriction and dilation of blood vessels in the brain which can lead to migraines.
• Coenzyme Q10 – is another substance that is naturally found inside the body’s cells and is key to proper function within the cell, it has been shown to have beneficial effects for patients who want supplemental treatments for migraine headaches. In supplemental form Coenzyme Q10 can be even more beneficial when combined with other supplemental treatments such as Magnesium and Vitamin B2.
