Usually migraine causes episodes of severe or moderate headache lasting from several hours to three days. It is often accompanied by nausea and vomiting and a heightened sensitivity to bright lights and noise. Some evidence suggests that migraine pain is one symptom of several due to a disorder of the serotonergic control system. Some are genetically caused, while others are based on hormonal imbalances. Three quarters of adult migraine patients are female, which reveals a strong connection to hormonal cycling and hormonal-related causes or triggers. Hormonal migraine is a result of a lack of protein, or protein synthesis in the body or a serotonin deficiency. It is our desire to help migraine sufferers find a solution to their ailment. We recommend a daily food dairy be kept to find food triggers as well as to note any deficiencies that may be otherwise overlooked. It is also advised that a regular Omega supplement be added to balance hormones and thus aid in alleviating hormonal causative factors.

Our Migraine Remedy includes the following herbs:

Feverfew—is the best known herb for the relief of migraine headaches because it inhibits platelet aggregating in the bloodstream, which prevents blockages of small capillaries. It also has a mild tranquilizing effect which helps it to significantly reduce pain and alleviate nausea and light/noise sensitivity which often accompanies migraines. Because it is an anti-inflammatory it works a lot like ibuprofen does; however, it does not have the side effects that accompany the NSAID drugs and therefore much safer to take on a regular basis. There is also some proof that the herb may inhibit chemicals that cause the blood vessels in your head to spasm.

Bay Leaves--have many properties which make it useful for treating migraine headaches. They contain compounds called parthenolides (inhibiting serotonin release from platelets), which have proven useful in the treatment of migraines. Bay Leaf also contains eugenol, which has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties.

Chamomile--Chamomile stops spasms in the smooth muscles and contains chemicals that are anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and antiparasitic.

Peppermint—is an analgesic and pain reliever. Its smell is known to soothe and cool the system to aid in migraine relief.

Rosemary--Antioxidant, antiseptic, and antispasmodic- Rosemary is a key herb in European herbal medicine used to treat arthritis, baldness, headaches, stomach upset, pains, strains, cuts, scrapes, and bruises. It is a known reliever in combination with peppermint as the two stimulate blood circulation aiding in the healing of migraines.

Skullcap—has been shown to have mild sedative and antispasmodic actions. Because of its sedative properties, Skullcap is most commonly used for anxiety, insomnia, pain relief, and tension headaches.
