Wellness-Based Treatments For Migraine Sufferers

Wellness Based Treatment

With or without medicine, alternative migraine treatments can help you lessen symptoms. People with severe migraine migraines are frequently treated with prescription drugs. However, there are other choices accessible. Natural cures may also provide you with comfort. Numerous complementary therapies can lessen headache symptoms or stop migraine attacks.

How Wellness-Based Treatments Help Migraine Sufferers at Alternative Health Center of the Woodlands

Do you frequently or infrequently get migraine headaches? And are you trying to handle them holistically? Here are a few treatments to stop or cure your next migraine attack. Consider consulting a doctor before attempting these natural migraine treatments. They’ll assist you in identifying possible risks and figuring out which ones might be the most useful to you. These holistic treatments include:

  • Acupuncture: In acupuncture, which dates back thousands of years, particular body parts are injected with tiny needles. Furthermore, there is proof that it can lessen migraine symptoms.
  • Essential oils: About ten essential oils can be used regularly to reduce inflammation and stress and raise happy hormones, thereby preventing migraine attacks. Physicians have noted that when used during an episode, some medications can also lessen the severity and duration of migraines. Essential oils should only be used topically or in the bath; they shouldn’t be ingested. You can combine them with carrier oil before putting them on your skin.
  • Magnesium: An over-the-counter magnesium supplement can help restore low levels to alleviate migraine tension and prevent future migraines. Medical professionals believe magnesium malate, glyconate, or threonate are the best migraine treatment choices.
  • Butterbur: Butterbur is a herb derived from a shrub’s leaves. Butterbur has anti-inflammatory and vessel-dilating qualities, according to Beck. Blood movement is improved, oxygenation is increased, and muscles are relaxed, all known to reduce pain. Use with caution, as butterbur can cause hepatotoxicity (liver damage). Diarrhea, stomach upset, and an allergic response are possible additional side effects.
  • Cannabis: As time goes on, more study points to cannabis as having several possible health advantages, including the relief of migraines. A 2016 research found that using medical cannabis to treat migraines reduces the frequency.
  • Melatonin: As the body can’t correctly “rest and refresh” without enough sleep, migraines can interfere with sleep, and inadequate sleep can cause migraines. The well-known natural sleep aid melatonin can promote peaceful and high-quality sleep, which can help with migraines.
  • Diamine oxidase: A 2019 study with 100 participants found that supplementing with diamine oxidase (DAO) may significantly lessen migraine attacks. When a person has a high amount of histamine in their body, a condition known as histamine intolerance, which can cause migraine attacks, DAO alleviates symptoms.

Drugs can treat or lessen migraine symptoms but are not the only treatment choice. Herbal medications and natural treatments can be used for holistic migraine avoidance and alternative migraine relief.
