I am a migraine sufferer and I get them horribly! They are usually of the debillitating kind, where I cannot drive, watch tv or have the light on. I tried Imitrex a few times but it tingled my whole head and made me feel worse...Anyone know of any natural ways to get rid of one?
Magnesium will sometimes help, and also sodium naproxen(Aleve).
I'm sorry I don't know what else but I know things light sunlight and stress may trigger them.
A few home remedies for migraine headaches include aroma therapy, which can be augmented through the use of essential oils, such as frankincense ...
I am 13 wks pregnant and suffering from very intense migraines and back pain. My doctor prescribed Vicodin. I refuse to take it since it is classified as a Class C drug by the FDA. Is there anything at all - herbal, natural, etc. that anyone thinks might work - bearing in mind of course, that I am pregnant. The doctor says the migraines are due to high levels of progesterone. I know that certain juices work on people suffering from migraines due to testosterone - anything similar for progesterone?
Herbal isn't always better during pregnant--it's best to talk WITH your doctor and discuss options. Herbal remedies aren't protected by the FDA, and the effects of some herbs on a fetus are still being researched.
My advice is to lie on your left side and discuss this with your doctor. Don't just refuse a drug--DISCUSS it with your doctor. They went through the training, and now it's time for you to listen. Get a second opinion if you want.
There are some points on the back of your head, where your skull meets your neck right along the occipital ridge. have someone hold your head in their palms, and gently rub the back of your occipital ridge. I find this to be a powerful place for releasing sinus blockage and other headaches. An entire head massage would really do you good :) as well as rubbing the tips of your toes for the reflexology sinus points :)
good luck :)

For treating symptoms:
Feverfew will help the pain, ginkgo biloba aids circulation and can reduce sensitivity to light and sound, peppermint will help with the nausea.
At the onset:
Take lecithin (between 3 and 6 1,200 mg capsules ) at the first sign of a migraine- it lessens both length and severity of the headache.
Inhale essential oil of lavender at the beginning of a migraine- this also can lessen pain and duration.
To prevent occurrences:
Avoid avocados, aged meats, chocolate, MSG, nitrites, canned fish, alcohol and dairy products.
I've had migraines since I has a teen, I've used a lot of pills and in very bad cases Demerol (strong narcotic). I really want to explore natural remedies, in fact if anyone knows a good site with natural medice info. I woud apreciate it.
Just what everyone has said, is very good info. But what you need to also watch for is your sodium intake. That will and could be the start off of many migraines and headaches. I have cut back on so much sodium that my headaches ceased to exist anymore.
