migraine headache

Nobody needs to spend money over the counter in order to reduce or cure their migraines. You don't have to go and see a doctor to cure your bad headache. There are much more simple ways of easing your migraines, and without the use or chemicals and other known drugs. This is simply a home remedy for migraine headaches and not some complex chemical that is not guaranteed to work.

People should know that migraines are curable, or able to be reduced. This is simply by using traditional remedies, because migraines have been around long before there were drugs and chemical compounds to cure them. Our ancestors used things they put together to cure headaches and even the common cold. Why can't we?

There is an extremely cheap home remedy for migraine headaches if you think about it. One specific remedy is known as ice wraps. This item can be purchased from your local supermarket and is very cheap. The ice wrap is placed on patient's forehead or on the back of the neck.

Instead of using the ice wraps, one could also use a towel. All you have to do is drench the towel with water, squeeze some of the water out. Emphasis on the word "squeeze". Do not wring the towel, because it will be to dry. After you have done that, fold the towel and put it in the freezer. Leave it there for a while or until the towel stiffens. When the time comes, take the towel, unfold it and then fold it again and try to get the frozen section inside this time. Put it back in the freezer until frozen. When the towel is reasonably frozen, place it on the patient's head and eyes.

The other home remedy for migraine headaches is to consume salt. If you are lucky you will be able to stop the migraine while it is still in its starting stages. Feast on a packet of corn chips, fries with a great amount of salt or any food that has a high level of salt. This is proven to calm the attack of the migraine. This might calm the storm or it may not. However, during this period of calmness quickly prepare the towel while waiting in the eye of the storm.

The next method will require an extra pair of hands. This is a well-known home remedy for migraine headaches. Make sure the room is pitch-dark and quiet and you have someone massaging your scalp. Remind your "doctor" not to massage your temples. Ten minutes of this and it should be all over.
