What is a migrane, what causes it, and what is the quickest way to get rid of one?!?

Q: I woke up with the worst migrane this morning and I still feel it 12 hours later. I took 2 IBprofen and 2 Excedrin Migranes. The 2nd usually helps, but like I said, it’s still there. I also have wisdom teeth coming in and have read that they can cause the Migranes.

A: Many things can be the cause of a migraine. It has been proven that 25% of the people who get migraines if they take the herb “Feverfew” it will help them. I use to have migraines and I used the Feverfew along with Ibuprofen. The good thing is you can take it on an empty stomach and it won’t hurt you. You can buy it a Walmart but be sure you get the 380mg. and take at least two at a time. They say if you get them ofen take one Feverfew daily and it will keep the migranes away. Good luck and God Bless.

How do you get rid of a migrane headache?

Q: I have this major migrane headache, and no matter what I do, I just can’t get rid of it. Does any one know a way to get rid of it without using pills? Or not, any other way?

A: I have never tried this but feverfew is an herb that is supposed to work well. If you don’t take medications very often herbs can work very well. (someone who has a certain level of resistance to meds because they use them alot usually can’t feel the gently properties of herbs) I usually take ibuprofen because most of mine come from tight muscles in my neck. So ibuprofen help in reducing swelling. Mine can also be triggered by my sinuses. So I try to avoid dairy and other mucus builders, and I sometime take acidopholis (I think I spelt it right.) That is a good bacteria that the body needs and it helps to fight off things like candida which is a good bacteria that can run amuck if it is allowed to flourish in the body. My best thing is to start finding out why you are getting them and go from there. I always take a nap too and I found that that is one of the best things I can do. The rest helps me to calm down and redirect all my energy to fixing the problem. Other than that the only thing I can tell yo to do that requires ingesting nothing is to get a massage. That can help with almost any trigger except barometric pressure. Good Luck
