Migraines affect people differently and can cause more pain in some with more symptoms in others; symptoms other than pain. There are four stages to the migraine process: the Prodrome, the Aura, the Headache and the Postdrome. Let me tell you about the Prodrome. This is the first stages and in it, you will experience many symptoms which will appear like other issues but they are actually warning signs set forth to alert you of the oncoming migraine. Some of the warning signs might include: diarrhea, constipation, depression, anxiety, foods cravings, sudden change in behavior, irregular urination patterns and even fatigue or dizziness. All these will let you know of any emending migraine attack.
Taking A Natural Approach
The body encounters a physiological change when a migraine takes place therefore adding a foreign substance into the body that is purposed to help fix the body could have an adverse effect or add further complications. Taking a holistic approach to migraine treatment can eliminate the possibility of the body responding poorly to prescription drugs. There are several holistic migraine treatments that have proven to be successful in treating migraine pain.
• Magnesium Citrate – Research has shown that migraine headaches may be triggered by low levels of magnesium and that by adding high dosages of magnesium citrate could reduce the occurrences of migraines. Also Magnesium Citrate is a great laxative by itself to combat the symptom of constipation.
• Chiropractic Help – Chiropractic methods such as massage, adjustments and spinal manipulation have helped ease migraine pain. The combination of chiropractic methods with natural supplements such as Ginger, Vitamin B, Magnesium Citrate and Feverfew will not only aid in pain relief but can also reduce the frequency of migraine outbreaks.
• Butterbur Root – A study done on 245 migraine sufferers showed that those who used the herb butterbur showed a decrease in migraine attacks in a four month span. Holistic migraine treatments can be just as affective as prescription medication only without the hazardous side effects that are common place with prescription medication.
• Chinese Acupuncture – The manipulation of needles into the body in strategic patterns has been used for centuries as a form of holistic treatment. Acupuncture has been said to help relieve migraine headaches when placed in the accurate pressure points.
• The Feverfew Plant – Feverfew like acupuncture has been used for centuries as a natural herbal migraine treatment. It can not only reduce fevers, as its name suggests, but it can also aid in pain relief and reducing inflammation along with Butterbur
