hi iam 28/married women/ any remedies for migirine? Rita replied. Try Sweety' s suggestions first. If you still get migrains, perhaps you are not getting enough of certain nutrients: water, fats, antioxidants, vitamin Bs complex, whatever.

Check if you are getting enough of health-friendly fats, those of omega 3, 6 and 9: the best sources being cold-pressed oils. See if they reduce your migraines. After all, brain is the FAT-richest organ in the body. It demands large quantity of fats and cholestrols (needed to make hormones).

An interesting example: most fishermen rarely get headaches, as they consume large amounts of fish in daily life. This is so with Eskimos and Japanese, the people who live on high-fat diets of fish (high in omega 3). Japanese and Eskimos have far less migraines or arthritis than those who live on dangerously low-fat diets. Everyday, they have fish for breakfasts, dinners, suppers, and even snacks.


By the way, drink lots of water.
sweety replied. First and foremost let me ask you what type of migraine do you get. There are many triggers that cause migraines, let me name a few:
allergic reaction
bright lights, loud noises, and even strong scents
stress- both physical and emotional
lack of sleep or changes in patterns of sleep
Smoking, alcohol, caffeine
skipping meals, dehydration
tension headaches, menstrual cycle fluctuation and birth control pills
food
weather- temp change, humidity, b.pressure
Hair wash headaches- actually keeping head in one position for long periods of time.

So you have to figure out the cause of your headache first...which in turn helps you avoid those specific activities or at least makes you aware of them

So for the treatment:
trigger avoidance, symptom avoidance, conventional prescription drugs, physical therapy and even some herbal remedy.
The only problem is this is not a cure.

Well I provided you with possible problems you may be facing but for any of us to guide you further, would need specific problem.

Hope you feel better. verne replied. consult a neurologist or a general physician to know how to manage migraine.
