HOME REMEDIES FOR MIGRAINE HEADACHE

Migraine sufferers are often at the mercy of doctors who will just rather prescribe a pill than actually help the person with natural remedies that they can use at home. In light of this, the remedies introduced below are just suggestions that you may try to relieve your headache symptoms without the use of drugs. If one or more works for you, great! If not, don’t be discouraged. There are many types of relief. This list is not a complete one.

REMEDIES FROM FELLOW SUFFERERS
 Apply grated ginger/ ginger paste on your forehead and lie down for 15/20 minutes.

 This remedy is for migraines that are not menstrual in origin. For migraines that last for days, this person finds that a haircut helps. She finds that when her hair gets to be too long and starts thickening, it triggers severe migraines. Even the massaging of the scalp prior to the cut helps a great deal as well. She can’t have her hair grow past her shoulders and she has to thin it out from time to time. She also uses peppermint oil on her temples, jaw, and neck and drinks peppermint tea for migraines.

 This person uses a back massager and massages her neck, jaw, ears and forehead. She heard somewhere that stimulating blood flow is key so any time she gets a headache, she plugs in her massager, and she relaxes, and is in less pain enough to fall asleep in 15-20 minutes.

 If you are a woman who is on oral contraceptives and has migraine headaches, this remedy is for you. It may be the contraceptive you are on that is giving you the migraines. Check with your doctor but, bottom line, if you are a migraine sufferer taking any estrogen-type of oral contraception, try switching to a progestin only pill. The effect is almost instant, it’s incredible. It is 100% life changing.

 This remedy is a good one for any migraine sufferer. Make a tea from herbs using rosemary, thyme, ginger, cinnamon, and a touch of honey. It creates a spicy, delicious tea that really helps.

 This remedy may do the trick for you. Drink a cup a black coffee, go into a room where you can make it completely dark, place a hot or cold compress (depending how you feel) over the head area that has the pain, and lie on the side that has the migraine for about 20-30 minutes.

 Another remedy uses a good tea. A cup of valerian tea with a teaspoon of ginger in it works the best for this person, better than any medication that has ever been prescribed by the doctors for her.

 As weird as it sounds, this person gets some relief by washing her hair in cold water and then laying upside down on the couch or bed. Also, ice water poured down the spine seems to help (normally let the water freeze just enough to break it and it be icy).

 This next remedy is unusual but may be just what you need. For anyone with migraines, this sufferer recommends eating a Jalebi made in pure Ghee. In the morning, eat the Jalebi with a glass of milk and nothing more. You can eat again in about three hours. This person claims it really works. This is a food normally served in India, Pakistan, and other mid-east cultures. Along with other ingredients, Jalebi is made with saffron, yogurt, green cardamom seeds, and rose water. Perhaps the ingredients and frying it in Ghee oil make the difference. I read it is sweet and very tasty. If anything, it may make you feel better just because it tastes good.

 I like this remedy. It is something that can be easily done and doesn’t cost a lot of money. It may sound humorous but try it. Lay in a dark, cool, and quiet room. Place a banana peeling on your forehead. Close your eyes and within minutes you will start to feel the pressure diminishing. It has something to do with the potassium in the peeling.

 We all know that herbs can play an important part in health. Peppermint oil or any peppermint lotion on the temples, head, neck and anywhere else where there is tension works great.

 There are many alternative treatments for migraine sufferers. This person suffered from chronic migraines and has found relief in acupuncture. When she first went, she thought that she was just going to throw her money away but a week after therapy, this person reports that she did not have another attack for two months.

 Vitamins hold a vital role in overall health. If there is a lack of a certain vitamin, that could spell migraine. This person has found permanent relief by taking vitamin B2 plus magnesium. He started taking one magnesium pill and two vitamin B2 pills a day, and then cut it down to just one magnesium pill and one vitamin B2 pill a day. If he feels a migraine coming on, he takes another vitamin B2 pill and that takes it away. The vitamins need to be taken for at least two months to feel the full effects.

DOCTOR’S ADVICE
Of course, these remedies are taken from people who have suffered from the condition, some for many years and since they were young teens. This list is provided to give you suggestions that may help you. Always consult your doctor before beginning any home remedies that involve consuming anything that you may consider foreign. That could include herbs, foods, vitamins, or salves. Use your common sense but don’t be afraid to try different remedies. Who knows, you may find the treatment that works for you. These people did.
