Herbal Remedies As Alternative Methods For Treating Migraines

Migraines are headaches where the pain is severe and often comes along with nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light as well as sensitivity to sounds and smells, fatigue and irritability are also accompanying issues. A migraine is caused by abnormal brain activity, which might be triggered by a number of factors. However, the exact chain of events that the brain takes for a migraine to appear remains unclear. Today, most medical experts believe the migraine attack begins in the brain, and involves nerve pathways and chemicals. Scientists believe these changes affect blood flow in the brain and surrounding tissues.

Millions experience migraine headaches in America alone. Migraines are believed to be the consequence of mental anxiety, physical tension, food allergies, and can also be a symptom of illness. Migraines are often a continuing condition for many and a migraine can last for several days in the direst and most severe circumstances. As of yet, there isn’t a known cure for migraines however, prescribed medicines and over the counter medicines as well as other treatments provide some pain relief for those who are subjected to them. Herbal remedies are a more cost effective and a chemical free substitute to traditional treatment; hence many are leaning more towards these alternative methods for treatment of their migraines.

Herbal Remedies
There are numerous different herbal remedies that can be used in treatment of migraine headaches. Many have found that not only do herbal remedies often have fewer side effects than traditional medicines used for migraines but a lot of the herbal remedies seem to work better to control and better manage their symptoms. Most of these herbal remedies are available in easy-to-take capsule form as well as in tinctures, powders and teas. A few of these herbal remedies are listed below.

• Rosemary has been known as a natural migraine treatment for centuries in Europe and China. For the reason that rosemary is a central nervous system stimulant, you can expect the results to be immediate. The medicinal benefits of rosemary increase the generation of beta waves in the brain which is why you might also feel more awake and attentive after inhaling rosemary. Rosemary has also been known to help if you have a tendency to be nervous and have a poor memory.

• Magnesium citrate is another herbal remedy that many use. Since research has shown that those who suffer from recurrent migraine attacks characteristically have lower magnesium levels; increasing magnesium is a theoretical way to help eradicate or diminish migraine occurrence.

Feverfew is another popular herbal remedy. Feverfew has the natural ability of blocking the release of blood vessel dilating substances
from the platelets that create migraine pain. However, feverfew would need to be taken every day to be most effective instead of only at the onset of pain or symptoms.

Ginger is an additional herbal remedy. Ginger has the ability to attach to human serotonin receptors to help reduce migraine triggers that cause migraine pain. Ginger is found in many different ways; from foods we eat to teas we drink.

Butterbur is thought of as both a preventative for migraines as well as a natural treatment. Modern scientific studies have established that butterbur supports healthy blood flow to the brain and healthy neurological function. In addition, butterbur may also help to maintain balanced seasonal immune responses to migraines. However, due to the potentially toxic effects of butterbur, your primary physician should be consulted first.

• Ginkgo biloba is medically used to increase blood circulation and can help in the treatment of migraines. The recommended daily dose is between 120 milligrams and 240 milligrams. However, extracts that contain 24 percent ginkgo flavone glycosides and 6 percent terpene lactones are highly recommended. Ginkgo biloba helps in preventing migraines because of its ability to limit the platelet activating factor.

• Kava kava is considered a relaxant and is rather helpful in treating stress-related migraines. You should look for kava kava in tea as well as tincture forms.

• Valerian is frequently suggested as a stress reliever and sedative. Valerian is available in tea form, extract and capsules. Take at first sign of symptoms to help you relax.

Herbal therapies are often an easy and effective alternative for those suffering with migraines. However, consulting with your natural-health-care provider to find the best migraine treatment for your symptoms is always your best option.
