Migraine headaches are a chronic condition which can leave you incapacitated for several days; they are divided up between four different stages or phases and can be experienced differently based on the individual. Some people feel every stage and every symptom while others just have a bad headache and feel very little of the other symptoms or stages. Below, we will discuss one of the four stages and how natural supplements can aid in the healing of migraine headaches.
Aura Stage
During the second stage of the migraine chain reaction, you can get very freaked out as this stage messes with your eyes and balance like no other. Fifteen percent of all migraine sufferers experience the symptoms of this stage and those who do hate this stage with a passion; the Aura can occur hours or even minutes before the Headache stage. Here are some of the serious symptoms: dizziness, blurred vision, zigzag vision, black spots in eyes, blindness in one eye, vertigo and even hallucinations with a little nausea mixed in. One of the biggest symptoms in the Aura stage, which can even be a migraine trigger, is Cortical Spreading Depression. What happens in Cortical Spreading Depression or CSD is neural activity is initiated and then slowly depressed or dampened over time. The “spreading” can go from the back of the head to the front of the head in about thirty minutes. The depressive nature of this symptom irritates the cranial nerve roots, especially the trigeminal nerve, causing them to become inflamed. This inflammation causes about 50% of the pain experienced by the migraine sufferer throughout the migraine process. The other 50% comes from the chemical that attacks the arteries in the brain which was released by the expanding blood vessels; these blood vessels catalyze the entire migraine process. One of the ingredients in the Migraine Support Formula that can help with the depression in the Aura stage is Pyridoxine. Pyridoxine or Vitamin B6 can greatly increase the serotonin and dopamine levels in your brain. This causes you to feel happier and can minimize any depressive tendencies such as Cortical Spreading Depression.
