Posted by Sam Billings on Jul 14, 2013 in Migraines | 1 comment
Anybody that suffers from chronic migraines will know just how much of an impact they have on your life. When a migraine starts, there’s nothing else to do but phone in sick, turn off the lights and stay in bed. It’s an affliction that strikes many, and while there are plenty of pain relief cures on the market, a lot of people are finding salvation in alternative cures.

Symptoms range from nausea and vomiting to throbbing headache pain – and when it strikes you may as well write off your day. Migraines are not just ordinary headaches so they need to be dealt with in a special type of way. Many people are finding coping mechanisms that keep them out of the doctor’s surgery and off strong pain relief medication. Here are some great natural ways to alleviate the symptoms of migraine:
Avoid the Triggers

Certain things are known to be triggers in bringing on a migraine. These include coffee, tea, alcohol, smoking and fluorescent lights. If you can avoid these things throughout your day you’re not putting yourself at greater risk than you need to.
Sometimes, oral contraceptives can bring on migraines too, so if you are struggling it may be worth trying out a different type.
Often migraines are linked to allergies and food intolerances, so if you suspect that this could be the underlying cause, it’s well worth experimenting with cutting different food groups out of your diet. See this article on allergy remedies.
Herbs are very effective in preventing migraines. Feverfew and butterbur extract are great preventers, although they won’t cure a migraine once it has come on.
Hydrotherapy
Water is a great healer, and if you stand in a hot shower for a few minutes (as hot as you can take it) and then switch it to cold, this will improve your circulation no end. Swap between the two extremes for a long as possible and this will remove toxins. Alternatively, swap between a hot face cloth and a cold one on your forehead or the back of your neck.
Drinking water will also help you feel better. Avoid any other drink other than plain old water and drink loads of it – this is perhaps the fastest way to flush all those nasty toxins out of your body. Eat plenty of fruit and fresh vegetables too. Avoid sugary food and drinks – these won’t help.
Pressure Points

Find pressure points on your body that help when you press them. This is great for relieving tension, and the best place to try pressing is the soft bit between your thumb and first finger. Also, press around different points on your head and neck and see if you can find places that relieve tension when they are pressed. Remember to breathe deeply at all times – the more oxygen that gets to your body, the better.
Migraines are a blight on your life, but there are things you can do to help yourself both prevent them and cure them if they arrive. The more research you do, the more natural remedies you will find, so make it your mission to blitz them once and for all, naturally and healthily!
