Common Cold Remedies
This article will reveal three of the most effect remedies for natural migraine relief. It is estimated that over 27 million Americans have migraine attacks. These attacks can be described as moderate to severe pain on one or both sides of the head. The pain can be throbbing or pulsatile in nature. It is made worse by physical activity. There may be nausea but not necessarily vomiting. Increased sensitivity to sound or light is also common. About one fifth of people have what is called an aura. This is a sensory experience like flashing lights in the vision or tingling in the body.
With harsh side effects or poor results it is no wonder people are looking for natural migraine relief. Below we will detail three of the most popular non-drug options for natural migraine relief. These include the herb feverfew, and the supplements 5-HTP and magnesium.
Feverfew is a herb technically known as Tanacetum parthenium and has been used for over 100 years as a folk remedy in Europe for migraine, headache, arthritis, pain and fever. It gained popularity in England in the 1980s for providing natural migraine relief and an alternative to drugs.
Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of feverfew as a natural migraine relief product. A large study of 170 migraine sufferers who were given feverfew or a placebo, showed that after 2 months the feverfew group had a large decrease in frequency of their migraines. Feverfew can interact with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication and some blood thinning medication so it must be cautioned to always consult your medical advisor before using feverfew.
5-HTP is technically known as 5-Hydroxytryptophan and is a compound made from tryptophan which is an amino acid in the body. In the body it makes the neurotransmitter serotonin and hormone melatonin. It provide natural migraine relief in the form of supplements that come from the seeds of an African plant. Supplements of serotonin are commonly used for migraines.
Research has shown that 5-HTP can be of benefit in decreasing the frequency and intensity of migraines, although more research is certainly needed. One study showed 124 migraine sufferers studied by some taking 5-HTP and others a common migraine drug. During a six month period it was shown to be just as effective as the drug on the effect of intensity and length of migraines suffered.
Magnesium is a very important mineral in the body. It is important for regulating blood sugar levels, functioning of muscle and nerves, heart rhythm, bone health, immune system and blood pressure. It is said to be involved in over 300 biochemical processes in the body. It can be found naturally in green leafy vegetables, seeds, whole grains and nuts. For natural migraine relief it is usually taken as a supplement.
Studies on the use of magnesium as an effective natural migraine relief have shown promising results. One recent study looked at 80 people with migraines. Over a 2 month period some took magnesium while the others took a placebo. The magnesium group decreased their headaches by about 40 percent. Too much magnesium can lead to digestive irritation or diarrhea.
Natural migraine relief is a great option for combating your migraines. It is safe and effective. When you start using a natural alternative make sure all other variables are constant so you can effectively monitor any benefit or adverse reaction from the intervention. Also allow a good time period for change to take place, such as 3 months as this will provide a more reasonable assessment.
