Home Remedies to Treat Migraine


Migraine is a neurological disorder, which is at times accompanied by nausea, vomiting and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. 



To solve your migraine problem, here are some easy home remedies:

# Ice packs

If it's difficult to bear your headache, then treat it with some cold therapy. Placing ice on your head can help to reduce your pain, because ice has anti-inflammatory properties.

# Load up in vitamin B2

Consuming at least 400 mg of Vitamin B2 helps in reducing the symptoms of migraine significantly.

The best sources of vitamin B2 are chicken, fish, eggs, legumes (like peas and lentils), milk and milk products such as yogurt and cheese, nuts, green leafy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, asparagus, and fortified cereals also supply significant amounts of riboflavin to the diet.

# Relaxation Techniques

When you get a severe headache, try relaxation techniques like massaging your head, yoga or mediation. All these relaxation techniques help to ease neck and shoulder spasms, increases body awareness, which helps to detect and treat oncoming headache and increases your focus.

# Treat with Herbs

A warm cup of herbal tea made with peppermint or lemon balm will relieve a headache, especially one that involves nausea. Tea made from the leaves of fresh oregano or ginger also helps to relieve nervous headache.

# Acupuncture

Acupuncture is more effective than drugs in relieving the misery of migraine. However, the benefits are slow, but they are assured and last for a long time.
