Migraine’s 5 Herbal Treatments

Herbal Treatments of Migraine: Many people with headaches use chemotherapy drugs while they also have natural remedies that treat migraine without side effects.

All-natural headache relief remedies can work well alongside headache medications to reduce pain symptoms quickly and prevent them from coming back.

This article introduces five natural treatments of migraine

1- Magnesium-Rich Foods

  • Eating a nutrient-rich diet is one of the best ways to prevent and alleviate headaches.
  • Individuals who have frequent headaches often have low magnesium levels
  • Doctors recommend taking 200-600 milligrams of magnesium per day to prevent headaches.
  • It can be taken in capsule form with supplements or through healthy foods like:
  • Whole grains,
  • Beans,
  • Broccoli,
  • Nuts,
  • Seeds.

2- Vitamin B-12 Foods and Supplements

  • Another nutrient that aids in natural headache relief is vitamin B-12.
  • Many people do not get enough of this vitamin in their diets.
  • So it may be necessary to supplement with vitamin B-12 capsules.
  •  Healthy foods that contain this vitamin include :
  • Fish,
  • Almonds,
  • Sesame seeds.

3- Lavender, Basil, and Peppermint Oils

  • Essential oils are used in many natural remedies, and lavender oil is a great one for natural headache relief.
  • This oil can be applied topically to the temples, or add a couple drops into boiling water and inhale the vapors without actually ingesting any of the oil.
  • Another idea is to draw a footbath and add lavender oil to the hot water to ease pressure on the blood vessels.
  • Other useful oils for headache relief are basil oil and peppermint oil.

4- Chiropractic Care and Adjustments

  • Chiropractic adjustments are also sometimes recommended for headache sufferers as part of a headache treatment strategy.
  • This type of natural care can reduce oxidative stress, which prevents free radical damage in the body.
  • Clinical trials have shown that basic spinal manipulation techniques
  • Can treat headaches and reduce their recurrence because they help reduce overall stress in the body.

5- Feverfew and Butterbur Herbs

  • A third suggestion about how to relieve a headache naturally is to try using herbs like feverfew and butterbur.
  • In research studies, participants have reported less migraine pain after taking feverfew, for example.
  • Feverfew may also help reduce other migraine symptoms, such as nausea and sensitivity to noise and light.
  • Another herb called butterbur is known to headache sufferers for its anti-inflammatory effect because inflammation often triggers headaches.
