Natural Relief from Migraines

December 10, 2010

It’s like your usual headache, only worse. You first start feeling that pounding pain in one part of your head, like your eye socket, until it spreads around your entire head and becomes unbearable. You might even feel dizzy and have the urge to vomit. It is the attack of the migraine, and almost anything else is a welcome relief.

Fortunately, there are many natural and easy ways to give you relief from that migraine. Read on below and find out:

  • Rosemamigrainery oil. Yes, this relaxing oil is not only for aromatherapy but also effective for migraine relief. If you are away from home and you feel that intense pain, simply inhale the rosemary straight from the bottle or drop a little onto a tissue then keep inhaling it. if you are at home and have more time in your hands, mix ten drops of rosemary essential oil with olive oil or almond oil then massage it onto your face and neck.
  • Celery juice. This may not sit well with you if you are not a fan of veggies, but know that celery is quite a powerful relief against that migraine. Celery is packed full of coumarins, which effectively soothes the vascular system and is excellent for people prone to having migraines. Just make sure that your celery juice is fresh from your juicer. If you cannot drink it alone, you can mix it with cucumber and/or carrot. Drink at least eight ounces twice a day.
  • Diet. Some foods can just be the culprit for your migraine. Foods containing tyramine are to watch out for. Food and drinks with tyramine are all alcoholic drinks, especially red wine, sausage, salami, canned meat, salted dried fish, pickled herring and commercial gravies. Ditch these foods and observe if your migraines disappear. No need for quick relief if this is the case.

Moreover, there are foods that are commonly to trigger migraine. See if you are eating anything in this list and observe your condition once you stop eating it: chocolate, coffee, tea, pork, beef, cow’s milk, goat’s milk, wheat, the food coloring tartrazine (which makes food appear yellowish), rice, fish, oats, yeast, cane sugar, nuts and corn. See if stopping consumption of these food items gives you any relief.

Above are some natural remedies for your migraine. The most important tip may just be the special diet tip, as you might just be able to get rid of recurring migraines forever once you identify the cause.
