any herbal medicine effective in migraine and any exercise that can cure?

Answer 1

Well, first reduce the your triggers...but here on some ideas. Some people find magnesium helps. Doesn't help me at all.

Avoiding triggers, managing stress, and taking prophylactic medications can help prevent migraines. Keeping a migraine journal can help identify triggers and gauge the effectiveness of preventive measures. Patients should monitor the following:

-Activities
-Emotional factors (e.g. stressful situations)
-Environmental factors (e.g., weather, altitude changes)
-Foods and beverages
-Medications (over-the-counter and prescription)
-Migraine characteristics (e.g., severity, length)
-Physical factors (e.g., illness, fatigue)
-Sleep patterns
-Stress management techniques (e.g., biofeedback, hypnosis) and stress-reducing activities (e.g., meditation, yoga, exercise) may help prevent migraines.

Naturopathic Treatment

Migraines are caused by excessive dilation of the cerebral blood vessels, though scientists do not fully understand what causes the dilation in the first place. Blood vessels don't just dilate spontaneously - they are presumably responding to chemical changes that are occurring in the body.

A naturopathic physician or holistic medical doctor will want to take a complete medical, family, menstrual, and diet history before considering the cause of migraine. Some of the illnesses to be ruled out are bowel problems, mold allergies, vitamin deficiencies, hypertension, TMJ misalignment, food allergies or intolerances, dehydration, spinal subluxations, coffee/caffeine intoxication, and aspartame (Nutrasweet, Equal) toxicity among others. All of these problems can cause migraine symptoms and usually can be treated very easily without the use of drugs.

Paradoxical as it may seem, a surprising percentage of migraine headaches may be caused by migraine medication. The "rebound effect" of analgesic and ergotomine compounds has been implicated as a contributing factor for sufferers of daily headaches. Discuss this phenomenon with your prescribing doctor if you are taking more than 30 analgesic tablets a month or if you regularly use ergotamine derivatives. Withdrawal from these products can temporarily make headaches worse, but eliminating these products altogether may ultimately mean no more headaches -- ever.

Answer 2

migraine can be cured complete without the help of any operation or any medicine. Rekii is a solution to that at Place in India (Jodhpur, Rajasthan) a uncle of mines have cured many patients who are facing the same problem not only migraine, but even cancer too is cured through Rekii.

Answer 3

I have tried feverfew tea, you can get it at a local herbal/supplement shop. It didn't taste great, but I found it to work pretty well.

Also try upping your intake of B vitamins and magnesium.

As far as exercises go, part of the battle is just exercising. I had a pretty blunt neurologist tell me one time I just needed to lose weight and exercise and I would have less headaches!

Any stretching exercises or yoga that can relax you and improve your circulation will likely help as well.

Good luck

Answer 4

fever few some say I myself got a list from my doctor of foods to avoid: peanut butter, hard cheeses, wine, coffee,chocolate,MSG it's in Chinese food a lot, nuts,ham.There is quite a long list. This helped some. What really helped was changing my lifestyle. I supported my family at that time now my husband works and supports us. But, i think it's time to give him some help with the stress load so I am starting again. I of course found the cool bath tub in a dark bathroom soothing to lay in(no water) with an ice pack to the back of my neck and my forehead or the top of my head....and to be left alone for a few days. that RX med for them is way too expensive without insurance. My prayers are with you.

Answer 5

There is no shortage of headache relief medicines on the market. And painkillers have their place. Take acetaminophen, aspirin or ibuprofen according to package directions at the first sign of a headache. You can often nip it in the bud.

But then again, if headache relief were that simple, you wouldn't be asking this question. Or perhaps you're interested in a nondrug approach. If you have a headache right now, the tips that follow will help you feel better fast. Some will work for tension headaches, others may help your migraines and some just might help you prevent your next headache, whichever kind it is. :) Women doctors agree that it's a good idea to experiment: Headache remedies work differently for different headaches, for different women, at different times.

Thumbs up, pain down. Place your thumbs right in the center of each temple. Massage firmly using a circular motion for a minute or two, or until you feel relief. If I catch it early enough, I find that I can sometimes stop a headache.

Take a hot bath or shower. This may further help your muscles relax.

Visualize away your headache. Imagine that your headache pain is caused by a rope that's knotted and wrapped tightly around your head. Then concentrate hard on seeing it unknot, inch by inch. Watch as it slowly loosens and falls away from your head.

Try necking with a heating pad. When you have a stiff neck, you can get a headache, because the stiff muscles hurt and cause pain that can be felt in your head. Remedy? Apply a heating pad to the back of your neck to soothe the stiffness.

Ice a migraine. For easing migraines, ice usually works better than heat, most likely because of its action as a vasoconstrictor--it shrinks blood vessels pressing on nerve endings. A resealable plastic bag full of ice, wrapped in a kitchen towel, works.

Feverfew for you? For occasional headaches take the herb feverfew. Research on feverfew suggests that it can be effective as a headache remedy; I've used it with success. I recommend taking two feverfew capsules (available at health food stores) three times a day until your headache is gone. Studies indicate that feverfew has anti-inflammatory properties, which is why it might be particularly effective for migraine headaches.

Lie down in a dark room. If you have migraines lying down in a darkened room and napping for an hour or so can usually make the headache history.

Have a snack. You can get headaches from just being hungry, because your blood sugar drops.

Always be aware of when you last ate. Try eating smaller meals, spread more frequently throughout the day.

Take a coffee break. If you feel a migraine coming on, go someplace quiet and have a strong cup of coffee. Take aspirin or ibuprofen according to package instructions. Like ice, caffeine acts as a vasoconstrictor, which seems to help migraines.

Or, do the caffeine wean. The surprising thing about caffeine is that either too much or lack of it can trigger pain. Too much caffeine can lead to headaches, because of an increase in tension or a decrease in sleep (or both). Consuming less than the usual amount of caffeine can lead to very painful withdrawal headaches. Frequently, weekday coffee or cola drinkers may drink less on weekends, and they get fierce withdrawal headaches. If you get headaches, give up caffeinated drinks slowly and gradually--by four to six ounces a day--perhaps by diluting regular brew with decaf until you're finally caffeine-free. You should also substitute eight cups a day of noncaffeinated liquids, such as water, juices, skim milk or herbal teas.

Keep a headache diary. Both tension and migraine headaches can have triggers. Your monthly cycle can affect headaches, too. I suggest that you log the time of day and month, the foods, activities, moods--anything that could possibly trigger a headache. After a couple of weeks, read your diary. See if anything obvious is causing your headaches and avoid the source if you possibly can.

It's a very individual thing. For many, chocolate can be a migraine trigger--though it doesn't trigger my migraines--but red wine will immediately send me right around the bend.

Avoid migraine triggers. Avoid the most common offenders: that is, foods that have been aged, fermented, pickled or marinated. Other reputed problem foods are those containing monosodium glutamate, or MSG (such as canned soups), nitrates or nitrites (such as lunchmeats).

And some added help:

Once a migraine takes hold, it's a bugger to relieve.

Restock your magnesium. I read about an Italian study that indicates that people with migraines are likely to have lower blood levels of magnesium than non-migraine-sufferers, and suggests that magnesium supplements for people with migraines warrant further study. Good food sources of magnesium include green leafy vegetables, legumes, seafood, nuts and whole grains.

Regulate sleep patterns. People who work irregular shifts have trouble with their migraines. Circadian rhythms seem to play a part in migraines. Try to get to sleep and wake up at the same times each day and don't sleep late on weekends. Also, avoid napping during the day, as this may change your circadian rhythms.

Give aspirin a chance. An aspirin a day may keep migraines away. The problem with some of the prescription drugs used to try and prevent migraines (like beta and calcium channel blockers, antidepressants and mood-regulating drugs) is that they are like hitting a little problem with an awfully big hammer. Taking a regular 325-milligram aspirin tablet every other day, regularly, cut repeat migraine attacks by 20 percent. It might not work for everyone, but it's definitely worth trying, because if it works, it's an easy, inexpensive and relatively safe solution.

Hope this helps you. :)
