    I suffer from severe migraines quite often and I was wondering if anyone knew any natural ways of treating it. I cant take Tylenol, because it has a negative affect on me..of which I don't want to go into detail about lol Anyway, I usually drink a cup of tea, or Gatorade (the electrolytes is good for headaches) and I take a dosage of Valerian Root, sprinkle some ylang ylang oil on my pillow and try to sleep it off, but usually it takes at least 40min before I get any relief..Does any one else have any good suggestions..?? Thank you!

    lol, thats a good tip.. I just dont want em to try to get me to take any meds for it.. Migraines are very severe headaches. It feels like my head is going to split open. With my migraines, it also causes me to be very sensitive to light, if it's bright, that will hurt my head even more. Anyway thanks!

    if you got migraines is it anything in particular you're stressed about at the moment? maybe you need to relax more, i heard putting some lavendar oil on your pillow helps but not really tried it, i know its some kind of home remedy

    lol that would be kinda scary if doctors did eat people...-unsure Yes, it is very hard to think, hard to pay attention because all you're thinking about it the pain that you're experiencing.. aww? thats sad..dont hit yourself in the head though.. Yea, I imagine it would be pretty hard to take exams with a migraine..

    No, not really..sometimes yes, it is due to stress, but usually, I dont have a clue of why I get it.. I'll wake up in the morning with a migraine.. Such an awful way to get up in the morning...I'll try the lavender.. It supposedly should have a calming effect, yes?

    do you not drink enough water?

    my mom had migranes to the point she was puke

    then she discovered this horrible chinese cure
    FISH HEAD SOUP
    nasty stuff (at least the way she made it)
    and she would drink a bowl once a day
    magically she was cured
    she was more convinced it didn't work because during periods that she would get lazy and stop drinking the soup, the migranes came back

    . . .

    i always had headaches all my like

    later on when i was older
    and i tried being healthy and drinking more water
    magically my headaches went a way

    i had my mom try it
    stop drinking that fish head soup
    and just drink the same amount of clear water
    and now she doesn't have her migranes anymore



    dehydration is one of many causes of migrains

    Um, I usually take Advil but I od on them in the past so I try to avoid them.

    I would ask my doctor about alt. meds for headaches since they're your docs. they've to respect what you request. I know cause I've asked my a doc about alt. meds for another thing and he gave me a list of advice. Also before you try this ask your doctor first because everyone is different, buy one of those things that you strap around your eye. It works for me because it's like pressure is being applied to the eyes and no light for the migraine.

    lmao!!!! I've had fish head soup before lol My mother made it for me once. It's not that bad.. i thought it was pretty tasty.. lol my mum ate the brain though *ewwwwieee* anyway, You know, honestly I dont drink alot of water.. I do drink it, but most likely not enough..

    Yes, try to avoid those types of medication.. Definitely not good for the body.. O..Thank you! I'll look into buying one of those.. K, I'll try both the increased intake of water and the eye patch thingy..If that doesnt work, then I'll go to the Doctor.

    Errr...

    I think migraines can be related to the environment such as air, diet, lack of sleep, stress, health conditions, or lack of sex. hehe.

    Because it is the "pain" is the brain are I would have it looked at by doctors/pharmacist if it occurs very often. I think it could be a symptom of heart conditions/high chorestal (pressure). Aspirins might help since it is a form of blood thinner.

    There are also some baby aspirins that older people take every day.
