Home remedies for Migraines??

Question

Please help!!
I'm in so much pain but my parents wont let me take the drug I was prescribed (zomig) because they thinks it's dangerous. Also, I have been diagonesed with migraines just to let you know. Any answers are welcome!

Answer 1

50% of migraine patients are controlled with relaxation alone, or relaxation with a mild analgesic such as Excedrin. Try lying in a darkend quiet room and applying a cold compress or ice pack to your forehead.

Or you can try an accupressure technique.

For acute pain find a painful point 1/16th to 1/4 inch or 3-7 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, the headache should disappear or decrease within 30 seconds. For forehead pain the points are in front of nails on the finger tips or 1/16th to 1/4 inch or 3-7 mm below.

Though, the truly dangerous issue, is when people take their children to qualified medical personnel for diagnosis and treatment, and then decide the medication is not safe though they have not had the education to make that decision. At least they should take you to another physician for another opinion, not just leave you to suffer.

Answer 2

Sleep offers so much relief. When I get a migraine I sleep for hours, but even a 30 minute nap will help. Put a moist cool cloth over your eyes, the back of your neck, and temples. Sip water and nibble on saltine crackers if you can to help with nausea.

I just read that you have a 50-50 chance of getting some pain relief within three minutes of applying a soft, cold ice pack wrapped in a towel to your head.

Try to get one of your parents or a sibling to rub your shoulders, neck, and the base of your skull. If you can't get someone to do it you can rotate your fingers over your scalp.
Take a warm bath or shower.
Apply gentle, steady rotating pressure to the painful area of your head with your index finger and/or thumb. Maintain pressure for 7-15 seconds, then release. Repeat as needed.

Answer 3

I've had migranes since I can remember. I've managed to do okay taking excedrine migrane or just extra strength and lay low. An icepack on the base of your skull can help if it's just starting. Try to avoid bright lights or loud sounds (these are my triggers), but certain foods may be a trigger as well. Try to see if your migranes come after eating a certain food or moving around a certain way.

Someone told me that pickle juice has been found to help some with migranes. I haven't tried this, but I guess it wouldn't hurt at this point.

Answer 4

Thanks to your parents.
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.

Alternate systems of medicine can only help you.

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, tension, 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 5

try this out
HEADACHE: Eat 10-12 almonds, the equivalent of two aspirins, for a migraine headache. Almonds are far less likely to upset the stomach.

Answer 6

i roll my hair (few strands at a time) with my index finger (where the pain is), pull it up and it will produce a click sound (it's a traditional method practice for generations in my race)
