When trying to treating migraine headaches, you might be just discovering that there is no cure for the chronic migraine condition. However, there are migraine treatments which can provide some relief to the symptoms and intensity of the attack altogether. Yet be warned; some treatment options come with more deadly side effects than the migraine could ever bring itself. Consult with your doctor to decide which treatment option is best for you. In this article, we will go over two of the four stages of a migraine attack (Prodrome, Aura, Headache, and Postdrome) and how some herbal supplements, found in the Migraine Support Formula, can help provide some relief.
Aura Stage
Out al all of the migraine stages, this one is the most strange and most obscure to most migraine sufferers; only about 15% – 20% of migraine patients experience the horrors of this phase. You could experience symptoms such as: zigzag vision, black spots in vision, temporary blindness in one eye, blurred vision, vertigo, dizziness, hallucination, anxiety and even depression. This depression is not just a mood centered depression; it also can refer to a Cortical Spreading Depression. This is a depression or dampening of neural activity which can spread from the back of the head to the front of the brain in a matter of thirty minutes. CSD, therefore, causes inflammation of the cranial nerve roots and even the trigeminal core in the brain stem can affected. This can cause half of the pain you will ever experience in the migraine process. The herbal supplement that works the best in this stage is Ginkgo Biloba. Ginkgo is much like a wonder drug as it can improve visual focus, mental concentration and even work as an anti-vertigo responder. It, along with Vitamin B6, can help calm anxiety or depression from interfering with your mood or neural function.
Headache Stage
Also called the head pain stage, the headache stage is the most commonly thought to be the only stage as it causes the most discomfort overall; pain of this magnitude is desired many times to be stopped by a bullet in the head, though not recommended. Ever heard of the saying, “Just shoot me and put me out of my misery,” the person who said this probably was experiencing the head pain stage of the migraine process. Butterbur is a natural herb which has the distinct ability to reduce head pain from headaches and squelches inflammation as well.
