Answer 1

Do you wish to take meds life long?

There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for RA, OA, Back ache and almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.

Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES,
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy, BODY CONSTITUTION etc are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.

Acupuncture is the best treatment.
I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.

Pain killers don't treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds.
The useless drugs have tremendous power of side effects like liver/kidney failures, ulcer, inflammation of intestines and lot more.
Avoid late sleeping if possible; worry, spicy foods, sour fruits, stale bakery foods, SMOKING and alcohole.
Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help if cough is not there.

But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it is very strong.

If it is acute pl search a painful point 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.

For forehead pain the points are in front of nails on the finger tips or 3-7 mm below.
It may disappear naturally too.

Answer 2

Do you have any warning signs before the migraine hits? I will suddenly realize that part of my vision is gone. When this happens, if I take Advil (3 200mg tabs) immediately, then I can usually avert the actual migraine. I don't have prescription meds anymore - I just use the Advil. Mine have gotten fewer and farther between in the last 10 years - so hopefully yours will too!

2 yrs ago,I got migraine once every month which comes on suddenly. I wouldnt want to open my eyes as its severe frontal headache. And after taking just 1 panadol, I was better within 1 hour.
However , I didnt like it to recur.
My hubby took up the meditation ( Qi Gong) course. So he taught me as well at home.Since then I am free from migraine. Not only am I free from migraine but other ailments
like pain here pain there which comes on as we grow older.

Unless you try, you will not appreciate the many benefits this meditation can do for you.

Midrin is an old medicine that worked pretty well for me. Main side effect is sleepiness.

Other than that, my favorite is simple Excedrin Migraine.
