By admin | November 9, 2009
If you’re a migraine sufferer then you’ll undoubtedly have been to your G.P for medication. There are several medications available now and no doubt they do help to alleviate the symptoms of a migraine.
Unfortunately medication can also add to the sickness you may be experiencing and can make you unable to function at all. Added to that, if you’re allergic to aspirin say, there’s a limit as to what tablets are available,
Therefore it’s down to you to find a method of making the migraine more bearable so that you can carry on with your daily tasks.
At the onset of a migraine your natural instinct is to curl up in a ball and crawl into a hole. This is not necessarily a bad idea! However, this is often not possible and so in order to soldier on it’s a good idea to try to learn some techniques in relaxation.
The blood supply to the brain becomes restricted during a migraine attack and relaxing the muscles in the neck and shoulders will help to combat some of the restrictions and give a small amount of relief.
Anxiety, stress and anger all play a part in migraine attacks, and although it’s often difficult to control these emotions, in the long run it will be in your best interest to do so.
If you’re aware of what’s causing your migraine headache then it’s much easier to learn to control it.
Unbeknown to you, you may be allergic to certain foods or medication. Try to determine what they are by making a note each time you have a migraine attack by going over your diet for the last few days. It can sometimes be something you’ve consumed days before, so don’t only think of what you have just eaten.
Try to keep a diary of your foot intake, your activities, where you have been, what you have done, as this will give you some idea of what may have led up to the attack.
Once the migraine headache is under way aromatherapy can often help to alleviate the symptoms, so look into the possibility of having aromatherapy massage. Some people find lying in a darkened room with aromatherapy candles helps o alleviate the pain.
If your sinuses are blocked this could be the cause of your migraine so it’s a good idea to inhale hot water with a few drops of eucalyptus oil.
As you can see, there are various home remedies for migraine relief so relax and consider each one carefully.
