Right Activities Can Minimize Migraine Symptoms

Migraine headaches are often spurred by daily activities that though seem small and insignificant can actually increase the onset of a migraine such as walking upstairs for example. Symptoms of a migraine headache can vary from moderate to intense and can affect people differently. The goal is to lessen the migraine outbreaks, intensity of the migraines and migraine duration this is possible through migraine preventative measures. Listed below are the more common symptoms associated with and described by migraine headache sufferers.

 An intense throbbing, pounding feeling typically located on one side of the forehead
o Pain can also generate in the back of the head
o Pain can formulate right above one eye
 Nausea
 Vomiting
 Diarrhea
 Paleness
 Coldness in the hands and feet
 Sensitivity to light and sound
 The pain is often described as unilateral meaning the pain is typically felt or experienced on one side of the head.

Treating some of these symptoms can be effective through natural means and those means are through some of the supplements mentioned below which are all a part of the Migraine Support Formula.

Feverfew
It is thought that Migraines can develop when serotonin is released from platelets found in the blood vessels. Feverfew has the ability to relax the built up tension in the blood vessels not only relieving migraine pain but helping with inflammation. If feverfew is taken before the onset of a headache, it can increase ones chances of avoiding a debilitating migraine attack.

White Willow Bark
White willow bark is a tree native parts of Asia and gets its name from the color of the tree’s leaves. This has been a treatment for centuries. Before the printed word, people were advised to take a piece of the bark and chew on it to help relieve fever and inflammation. Now, thanks to modern research, further information on the White Willow Bark has been uncovered shedding further light on how one can pick a natural answer for treating aches, pains, fevers, inflammation. The active substance salicin found in white willow bark has since been used to formulate aspirin. The herb is still used today to treat several mild conditions and is often preferred over aspirin because it is less acidic and easier on the stomach lining.

• Medicinal Purposes – Studies have shown that White Willow Bark could be a useful treatment for the following conditions:
o Bursitis
o Headache – research is still being unveiled as to how white willow bark can help relieve migraine headaches
o Lower Back Pain
o Flu
o Tendonitis
o Fever – Increases blood flow which helps keep white blood cells fighting off infections

Ginger
Ginger is often used for medicinal purposes such as treating pain from arthritis, blood thinning, and cholesterol and for me personally – nausea and upset stomach. Research has shown that ginger has the ability to attach to the brains serotonin receptors thus helping calm the affect that the enlarged blood vessels can have on the brains arteries. Ginger is also used as an aid in helping reduce bouts of diarrhea

Lifestyle Changes Equals Peace
Treating migraines effectively does not always have to be through a pill or natural supplement; it can be done through simple lifestyle changes. Men and women who suffer from moderate to intense migraine pain need to take a few practical steps to help reduce their migraine occurrences. By simply making a few changes to their normal routine, men and women will notice fewer migraine attacks during a single month. Some simple steps to reducing migraine headaches are:

• A set scheduled time for going to bed and waking each morning.
• Having a daily exercise regime – exercise has proven to help improve quality of life for individuals suffering from various conditions from diabetes to migraine headaches. Individuals who are not physically fit are more prone to migraine attacks.
• Avoid skipping meals and long bouts of fasting.
• Avoid stress (if possible) – exercise can help release negative endorphins and research has proven that daily exercise can help improve mood and improve clarity of thought.
• Refrain from overuse of caffeine do not consume more than two caffeinated beverages in a given day.
• Bright and flashing lights are often associated with migraines therefore keep protective eyewear on hand and avoid places with flashing lights.
