Migraine

Migraine is a chronic neurological disorder manifesting in the form
of a throbbing head ache with nausea, vomiting, and/or sensitivity
to light. If you or your loved one suffer from migraine, I have
compiled some remedies which you can try safely. Know that quick
treatment of migraine is a wise thing to do.

# Identify your triggers and avoid them. Sometimes it can just be
the weather, a drug or any food like , caffeine or chocolates.

# Do not depend on pain killers and have them for more than thrice
a week.

# Avoid white flour products, sugar, tinned or preserved foods.
Drink more water and eat more fibre, vegetables, whole grains, and
get vegetable proteins like beans, nuts, seeds, broccoli, spinach,
peas etc.

# Sit and stand in proper postures.

# Do not skip meals.

# Exercise but do not overdo it.

# Sleep and wake up at proper timings.

# Keep a headache diary which will help you to find your triggers
and help the doctor to choose his treatment plan.

# When you get a bad headache, lie down in a dark, quiet room. Put
a cold or hot compress on your forehead with a few drops of
lavender oil (if you are not allergic to its scent) in it. Massage
your scalp and apply pressure on your temples.

# Have chamomile tea.

# Start meditation and yoga. Pranayama including Shitali works the
best for migraine. You may also visit a therapist or a counselor
for stress management. Also, ask your doctor about cognitive
behavioral therapy.

# Make a habit of massaging your temples, neck and head when you
get a headache.

# Use peppermint oil to rub on your temples and on the tight
muscles on your neck and shoulders.

# Have carrot juice with spinach.

# Ask your doctor about having Riboflavin, magnesium and Coenzyme
Q10 for prevention.

# Try Gingko Biloba extracts with the consent of your doctor. With
its antioxidants Gingko Biloba dilate blood vessels and improve
circulation throughout the body especially in the brain.
