Part-V: Natural Remedies for Migraine headaches

15. Natural Remedies to Prevent
or Ease Migraine Headaches

There are many medicines designed to alleviate your migraine pain. These

medicines try to eradicate the pain but the pain-causing elements remain in your
constitution. So, you might experience the same type of migraine again.

Natural remedies may prove to be the long-term solution for your migraine pain

or ease your migraine pain. A migraine is often due to certain food triggers
consumed during the twenty-four hours before the migraine. Maintaining a diary

to record your migraine pain, time of their occurrences along with details of your
food intake can help you focus on possible suspects.

Many people develop adverse reactions to dairy products. Therefore, reducing or

doing away with milk or butter may bring in positive results. Foods containing
sulfites and nitrites, like meat, chocolate, caffeine and red wine can also trigger a

migraine attack. These dilate your blood capillaries and increase blood flow to
brain. This leads to migraine headaches.

Drink ginger tea to reduce the effects of nausea during a migraine attack.

Intake of two to four grams of ginger daily is good for your health.

Acupuncture promotes stimulation across the channels of energy throughout
your body.

Acupuncture specialists can administer proper treatment by massaging with

forefinger and thumbs. This may offer good relief from your migraine headaches.

Inhaling essential oils like Rosemary, Lavender, and Jasmine can lessen migraine
headaches.

Magnetic necklaces seem also to offer relief for some people.
