Is there a really good herbal remedy for migraines?

Question

Just wondering if there is anything out there that is natural?????????

Answer 1

There is no good herbal or OTC meds for TRUE migraines. Since the cause of migraines isnt fully understood, its hard to determine a remedy. Symptoms of migraines usually dont go away with otc drugs and so herbal (aside of illegal things like marijuna) cannot really help.

Answer 2

Feverfew. Make a tea with it, or just chew the leaves. That other guy is right too, a Chiropractor might help. Also, if you find the cause of your migraines you might be able to stop getting them. They can be caused by lots of things like hormones, or they could even be an allergic reaction. MSG allergies cause migrain-like symtoms. Whenever I drink fruit flavored sodas that contain ester gum I get migrains, and some people get them from caffeine. They may also becaused by stress so you might just need to avoid stress. Yeah, but anyway, feverfew works really well for me. Drink some feverfew tea and have a hot shower and they usually go away.

Answer 4

I went to the health food place and the lady there was so nice! I have all her recommendation written down, somewhere? I have been using cannabis for my migraines and some other pain....Legal here in Oregon.

There are so many different triggers for a migrain. Try and figure out what your triggers are and slowly eliminate them or change the way you do things.

No one knows what a migrain is until they have one!!

WOW do people who answer these questions GUESSING here?? Again I say "No one knows what a migrain is until they have one!!"

It might help to go to your doctor and get that piece of paper that says you have migraines. Might come in handy later.....

My wife puts Vicks Vapor Rub on her eyelids and temples as well as under her nose for a severe headache. Rick Fogle

I have suffered from migraines and arthritis for about 15 years. I finally came accross a "Chi Machine" which I now have a distributorship, and it has been almost a year since I have had any headache or suffer with arthritis. Any problem that I have, I go lay on the Chi Machine for about 10-20 minutes and the pain is gone. This machine is very expensive ($480.00 plus tax) but has paid for itself many times over. Any one interested in this alternative to medicine, please contact me at: [e-mail]. I promise you it helps. It also helps so many other problems. Thank you. Debi Evans

Sinus Headache? My grandmother that was full blooded Cheerokee Indian use to get mustard seeds, put them on a cloth (long enough to reach around her head) and beat the seeds to a pulp, roll up the cloth and place the mustard seed pulp on her forehead and bring the cloth arround her head and tie the cloth in back. The hot heat she said would ease her head and not knowing what was happening (it opened up her sinuses allowing them to drain) said it would cause her "nose to run". The headache would ease and stop. My mother said she had seen her do this many times. when I was a boy of about ten years old I seen a rag tied around my grandmother's head but did not knonw why. I thought sense she was an indian she "just" liked it. Victor

For headaches; with you thumb and forefinger press the fleshy part between the thumb and forefinger of the other hand. Do this as long as possible alternating hands. If it hurts to press....that's good. Dora Schwemley

I have discovered that 'nasal snuff' especially 'Wilson's medicated no. 99' is great for warding off the type of headaches that can develop after a day's fishing and driving. It seems to create an outlet for the build up of tension and fluids caused by getting too much sun reflection as well. Try it - it works for me! 'Royal George' snuff is good for neck tention too.

When one happens to out in the Forrest and develops a headache (assuming you didn't bring aspirins) Just chew on a willow twig. Aspirin is made with a base of willow oil. This also gives relief from a tooth ache. Gwen


Next time you have a headache just apply a little amount of bengay on the forehead and keep it above your eyebrow's. It works real fast in taking away the pain out of a headache or a migraine.

Answer 6

Niacin. It's a B vitamin and works on opening the blood capillaries. The only side effect is a flush, similar to a sunburn but that goes away in about 20 minutes and once you're used to taking it you may not even get that. Just take 50 or 100 mg either in the morning or at night.

I take it to stop pressure and sinus headaches ... and I haven't had one in over a year and a half.

Answer 7

majority of migraines are due to colon digestion o rpoor digestion, accompanying migraines there can be eye strain or poor/decreased vision.

If its headaches it could be due to heavy metals or synthetic chemicals, hormone imbalances, circulatatory problems, stress, sugar imbalance, structural misalignments.

Its figuring out what is causing it before finding a "remedy"

Answer 9

Migraines come due to too much stress or not enough sleep.
So just try to relax yr stress or stop thinking too much and get more sleep. Herb currently dun think so but pain killer might help.

Answer 10

Yes- feverfew you can get it at all natural stores. My daughter has migranes if she eats MSG and many fast foods use it, not just Chinese. She has experiences with Water Burger, chic fil a, most pizzas, mc donalds. The only fast food we found safe is Sonic. Anything with flavoring usually has it - all flavored chips etc...try avoiding MSG, my daughter has been head ache free for almost a year now and we went 3 years not knowing what was causing it.
