Any natural cures for migraines?

Question

I went to the doctor and got all kinds of tests and everything... all normal. And I really dont want to take medication for migraines. I hate taking medications... especially since they usually cause something else to go wrong. So what are some natural things to help with migraines?

Answer 2

The herb feverfew has been used for headaches since at least the 17th century when Nicolas Culpeper wrote, 'It is very effectual for all pains in the head.' It had fallen into some disuse, except among professional herbalists, but has recently come back into favour - with at least two double blind clinical trials proving its effectiveness for migraines. Feverfew has been found to reduce both the frequency and the severity of migraines even when taken on its own, although most herbalists usually combine it with other herbs to improve overall effects. Sufferers should take the equivalent of 125mg of dried herb daily for at least three months.
Tonics for the liver and digestive tract are central to the herbal treatment of migraines. Bitter herbs such as centaury will stimulate the digestion so that less of the offending substances reach the bloodstream. Liver herbs like dandelion root or vervain will promote the work of the liver in removing toxins.

Stress is important in most cases of migraine. For these people, the calming herbs such as skullcap, wood betony, and perhaps kava kava will help to ease the tension that is promoting migraines. These should be taken throughout the week, like the feverfew, not just at the time of the headache.

Other herbs are useful taken during or at the start of a migraine to reduce the pain and return the bloodvessels to a normal size. Those people who are aware of an aura before the migraine may be able to stop it coming on by using a blend of cramp bark (to quickly release blood vessel constriction), valerian (a muscle relaxant and painkiller) and feverfew. These may be taken as tablets, tinctures or teas, always following the label's instructions on dosage. Lavender essential oil should be massaged into the temples at the first sign of an attack.

Once the full-blown migraine begins, valerian on its own may still be helpful, as may feverfew. Jamaican dogwood is a more powerful analgesic, specifically used for pains in the head, but as it can be toxic in large doses, it should only be used under the guidance of a professional herbalist. Peppermint essential oil or tiger balm massaged into the temples at this stage will ease the pain.

The different triggers of migraines seem to work together, so it is rare to come across someone with a single cause. Therefore you will need to take a holistic approach to treatment, and if you have severe symptoms seek a consultation with a professional herbalist.

Answer 3

I find getting cranial sacral work from time to time has mostly eliminated migraines for me.
Some people also say that migraines are triggered by foods so you may want to keep a food diary and see what you've been eating just prior to the migraine.
Feel better!

Answer 4

I've had bad experiences with migraine meds... They would make me feel zombie like for days after I took them.

I found the best way to treat the migraine was to prevent it from escalating. When I get pre-migraine symptoms, like flashing lights, sudden overwhelming fatigue, etc... I stop what I am doing and take a nap. One hour of rest can prevent a few days of pain.

I also watch out for my triggers. For me the big trigger seems to be getting cold. So, I dress warm when it is chilly and avoid spending time outdoors when it is downright cold.

Answer 5

a natural cure for migraines would be marijuana. im not joking. its legal in parts of california to help people who have bad migraines and such things like that. try it out. i bet it will help. or you can just sleep through them.

Answer 6

REST rest rest is the most important thing!! make sure that you are getting just the right amount of sleep every night...not too much, and not too little. Also, i know for me, being caught in stressful situations, whether it be with work or my daughter, always seems to make my migraine about ten times worse...
so relax!

Answer 7

Acupuncture, which involves inserting thin needles into various points on your body, may reduce peripheral neuropathy symptoms.

Answer 8

Believe it or not, I use that stuff called Head-On for migraines...its homeopathic and you "apply it directly to your head"....it really does work....and lying down in a dark, quiet room also helps.

Answer 9

Saline spray in your nose, an mild aspirin and lots of fresh air.
Also for me it sometimes helps to get involved in a deep conversation(voice) with someone, takes your mind off the ache.

Answer 10

Try magnesium- do some searches on magnesium deficiency- you will be amazed...
