When you have a migraine headache, you certainly know it. That blinding, pounding pain in your head, your eyes, or your entire head and all the symptoms that go with it. As a migraine sufferer myself, I know exactly what it feels like. Migraines don't just go away with over the counter medication, you need special migraine medication and a dark room with ice on your head to get rid of these headaches. But, aren't you tired of wasting the whole day trying to get rid of your migraine headaches?
People who have not experienced a migraine headache often discount the pain experienced with one of these types of headaches. They may think the sufferer is being overly dramatic or is faking the pain. These headaches are real and they can be quite severe and sometimes do not go away with medication. Why not try a natural remedy?
Natural or home remedies are those that are made at home from natural ingredients. They have many positive attributes. They are simple, have no side effects, no chemicals, they are inexpensive, and they give you the ability to let you heal yourself.
Fresh Grape Juice
One natural remedy for migraine headaches is the juice of fresh grapes, which can ease migraine pain. What you do is you grind the juice out of the grapes and don't add any water, and you just drink the juice. I know it sounds strange, but try it - it works!
Niacin
Niacin has been proven to help relieve migraine pain. It can be found in the following foods: yeast, whole wheat, green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, nuts, sunflower seeds, liver, and fish. I also take a vitamin supplement of 100 mg a day for migraine treatment.
Aromatherapy
The scents that are known to help with migraines are lavender, peppermint, sandalwood, eucalyptus, and rosemary. You can rub any of these onto your temples or blend any of them together and rub them on your temples. You can also put a couple of drops into a bath. The scents will relax you almost immediately. Breathe deeply and you may choose to do some breathing exercises along with this to help you to relax.
Lemon Crust
Lemon crust has been known to cure migraine headaches. Grind the lemon crust and make it into a paste. Apply the paste onto the forehead. This is very effective to relieve migraine headaches in a significant amount of people.
Vegetable Juices
Carrot juice combined with spinach, beet, and cucumber juices work well for migraine headaches. Try the following two recipes for migraine relief:
1. Mix 200 ml. of spinach juice with 300 ml. of carrot juice.
2. Mix 100 ml. each of beet and cucumber juices with 300 ml. of carrot juice.
Peppermint Tea
This is something that helps my migraines. I make a cup of peppermint tea with a little honey in it and it does help ease my migraines a little bit. I hope that it helps you also.
Migraine headaches affect different people in different ways and natural remedies will also affect people differently. They may or may not work for you, but give them a try. I certainly hope that at least one of the natural remedies for migraine headaches that I suggested here will help you with your migraines.
