"Migraine Remedies Are Inexpensive, Alternative Treatments That Can Relieve Pain"
The Migraine remedies on this page are some of the most popular remedies from Google books, RSS feeds, mailing lists, message boards, blogs, and Web pages on the Internet.
1) Our first remedy comes from Claire Houlding, author of the book: Managing Migraines: Dealing with Migraines from All Perspectives. She states there are 12 inorganic tissues salts that the body’s various cells need for proper functioning.
If there is an imbalance of these salts, the organs that depend on them will exhibit certain symptoms.
With Migraines, four of these salts are thought to be imbalanced. These four salts are:
Mag Phos - This salt consists of the minerals Magnesium and Phosphorus and is needed for normal functioning of the nervous system. If it becomes imbalanced, it can cause cramping and shooting pains.
Ferrum Phos - This salt consists of iron and phosphorus. A deficiency of this particular salt can contribute to a number of inflammatory conditions, and also headaches.
Kali Phos - The components of this salt are calcium and phosphorus. It is thought to be the most powerful remedy for most nervous system ailments.
Nat Sulph - This salt consists of sulfur and sodium. It is thought to be a useful treatment for headaches that radiate from the top of the head
Tissues salts are typically found at pharmacies and at most health food stores. However, it would be wise to consult with your physician before trying these.
Here are a few other Migraine remedies we found on the ‘net:
2) A mixture of vegetable juices that is good for Migraines is 300 milliliters of carrot juice mixed with 100 milliliters each of beet and cucumber juice.
3) Fresh grape juice is thought to be beneficial for Migraines. Simply grind fresh grapes without any water and drink the juice.
4) Placing your feet in some hot water while simultaneously placing an ice pack on your forehead may help provide relief from Migraines.
5) Eating a handful of almonds may help your Migraines.
6) Drinking a cup of coffee may help, as the caffeine in it tends to act as a vasoconstrictor.
7) Dissolving three to six pellets of the herb Bryonia under your tongue may help relieve your Migraine pain.
8) Many individuals report that drinking apple cider vinegar helps their pain. Mix one tablespoon into one glass of water.
9) At the start of a headache, rubbing a few drops of eucalyptus oil into your sinus areas may help prevent your headache from developing further.
10) For the last of our Migraine remedies, add one handful of the herb Rosemary into one liter of water and bring it to a boil.
Pour this mixture into a large bowl and cover your head with a towel. Keeping the facial area exposed, lean over the bowl and inhale the steam. Continue this for five to ten minutes.
