Migraine headaches are painfully debilitating and can have an effect on one’s productivity at home and work. Migraine headaches are one of the leading reasons individuals miss work, and for good reason. A migraine headache is not an easy thing to be rid of; it has a way of creeping in and attaching itself and proceeds to hang on for dear life until it renders its victim languid. The difficulty of reliving a migraine headache stems from the physiological changes that a migraine creates when it takes root.
A simple headache can be resolved with a few over the counter pills; whereas a migraine headache cannot be tamed with something as simple as an over the counter medicine. With the onset of a migraine, the brains chemicals begin to be altered as the blood vessels in the brain begin to enlarge and release more harmful chemicals into the brain to attack the brains arteries. As the blood vessels enlarge, the migraine symptoms worsen and the pain increases until the blood vessel have reached their full growth.
Migraine symptoms are just the physical evidence or physical response to what has changed neurologically in the brain. Migraine symptoms may be begin as nothing more than a mild head pain but as the blood vessels enlarge other migraine symptoms develop such as:
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Blurred Vision
- Dizziness
- Fatigue
- Cognitive Confusion
- Throbbing / Pounding In The head
Getting Back On Track
Symptoms such as the ones listed above can limit a person’s ability to function and think clearly, therefore making it unbearable to remain upright and responsive during a migraine attack. The intense migraine pain will continue to resurface unless a migraine treatment is implemented.
The most common form of preventative migraine treatment is prescription medication. Doctors believe that certain antiseizure, antidepressants and blood pressure medicines can help lessen migraine frequencies; the problem with a migraine treatment such as medication one risk the development of side effects and further health complications. Taking a natural approach to treating migraines is a safer and more effective approach. There are several steps one can take toward finding a natural migraine treatment such as:
- Research – look up the most recent clinical studies done on migraines and holistic methods.
- Compare which methods showed the highest success rates.
- Speak with a doctor about the method you are considering and compare your natural approach to the side effects associated with medication
