Migraine: Natural Treatment
I've collected a few suggestions that are reported to be helpful for migraines:
Cayenne Pepper:
Taking cayenne inside the nose helps to open up the blood vessels. This enables the blood to get nutrients to all parts of the brain. Warning - this can burn a bit, so keep the grains of cayenne down to as few as possible.
To stop a migraine follow these simple steps:
- Open the capsule and dip the flat end of a dry toothpick into the cayenne to pick up 3-4 grains.
- Block one nostril and gently put cayenne up the other nostril.
- Sniff deeply 3-4 times until you feel the flecks of pepper in your throat. (If you don't feel this, do it again).
- Once you feel the warmth in your throat, you headache should be gone in minutes
Other suggestions:
Taking 500 mg of magnesium per day and increasing your water intake to 8-10 glasses per day can be helpful. One person reported that her migraines were still coming at the time they usually did (during her cycle), but were much less intense and went away faster.
Another person resolved her migraine problem by eliminating ALL animal fat the week before menstruation (skim milk, non-fat yogurt ok), and adding evening primrose oil to her diet.
If you feel that you need migraine meds, keep in mind that a number of migraine meds are considered compatible with breastfeeding, including Sumatriptan (Imitrex).
