Stop Migraine Headaches

Is there a link between smoking a cigarette and migraines?

There is no clear answer to that question. Currently, there is no conclusive report that tells whether smoking causes migraines or not. There have been studies made on the connection of smoking with chronic headaches but their application migraines is limited.

One study on smoking and chronic cluster headaches produced some interesting results. Patients who have reduced their cigarette consumption by less than half a pack per day reduced their headache frequency by an astonishing 50%. It is important to note that the subjects of the study only reduced their smoking and did not totally eliminate it. What if the patients quit smoking entirely?

In a related study, more than half of the patients experienced total cessation of migraine after quitting smoking entirely and avoiding personally identified food triggers. On the contrary, only 13% of non-smoking subjects became migraine-free after eliminating food triggers.

Many chronic migraine sufferers are very sensitive to strong odors such as food odors, perfume, and yes, cigarette smoke.  There are people who are sensitive only to the scent of cigarette smoke. Then there are those who are allergic to cigar and even pipe smoke.

Migraine sufferers who are sensitive to cigarette smoke also find second hand smoke as migraine triggers. In some cases, smoke alone is the trigger, in others it is smoke plus other triggers. Both sufferers and doctors believe that there is a link between smoking and migraines it just has not been discovered yet. The commonly known effects of smoking are also detrimental to people who are prone to headaches and migraines. Inflammation and irritation of the sinus, high blood pressure and headaches are just some of the effects. There is one thing though about smoking that everyone seem to agree on and that is that it is contraindicated for everyone in every situation and that include migraine sufferers.

Could there be a possible link between puffing a cigarette and migraines?

The most accurate answer is neither a “yes” nor a “no”, but rather “maybe” to “probably”.  As of now, no scientific research has been conducted to establish their relationship.  However, there are studies available which tackle the connection between smoking and recurrent headaches.  But since chronic headaches are not necessarily migraines, these data have limited significance for migraines.

An experiment conducted on smokers with chronic cluster headaches generated some startling findings.  The study participants who cut their smoking by less than half a pack a day lessened the headache occurrence by an astounding 50%!  Just picture the more amazing results if the smokers totally eliminated smoking from their daily routine!  This simply underscores the curative powers of lifestyle change as a very viable natural remedy for headaches.

In a different study, 53% of migraine sufferers or migraineurs who stopped smoking and dodged their food triggers had a total elimination of their migraines.  On the other hand, only 13% of non-smoking migraineurs who avoided their food triggers experienced a complete eradication of the migraine. The numbers show that natural migraine relief is in your own hands.

Reports have it that migraineurs believe smoking or second hand smoke jumpstarts their migraine.  Some migraine sufferers tend to be acutely sensitive to light or sound while some are sensitive to strong scents.  These offending odours include those that come from food, perfume and tobacco smoke.  It could very well be just the smoke that activates the migraine or maybe a combination of various triggers.  It is because of this that medical professionals and migraineurs think that there’s certainly a connection between migraines and smoking.

Smoking has very detrimental side effects, such as, swelling of the nasal passages and sinus cavities, increased risk for stroke and high blood pressure.  These are especially harmful for individuals who are more inclined to get headaches.

A whole lifestyle change may be needed to finally get rid of your migraine.  It’s a totally free natural alternative to migraine cure that’s worth a shot.

More and more migraineurs (migraine sufferers) now prefer natural migraine remedies over their bottled counterparts.  It is not a surprise that prophylactic drugs designed to prevent migraines may result to a host of untoward side effects.  Moreover, some are not even effective at all!

One natural approach to migraine treatment is the practice of a healthy lifestyle.  Tweaking some bad habits may improve migraine by reducing the frequency and gravity of the attacks.   The suggestions below may just be that elusive cure for that throbbing pain.

Forty Winks

Migraineurs need to assess the amount of sleep their body needs.  They must ensure that they get ample shuteye for the work week, not too much and not too little either.  Sleeping in on weekends to make up for lost sleeping hours earlier in the week may set off a headache.

Sweat It Out

Working out in moderation is beneficial for everyone, even migraineurs.  Stress is a common migraine trigger.  Setting up a regular exercise regimen of 20-40 minutes for about three times weekly will significantly ease some of that tension.  Exercising will release the body’s natural painkillers called endorphins and will serve as an analgesic.

Stress Management

Life is peppered with stress here and there.  However, some moments are more intense than others.  Since stress is inescapable, learn how to deal with it.  During periods of high stress, inject some time for relaxation exercises, a good massage, moderate exercise, ample sleep and munching on a balanced diet.

Eating

Having a good breakfast is the best way to start the day, so eat up!  Migraineurs must have their meals regularly and at about the same time.  Do not miss a meal time.

Remember, consistency is key for the lifestyle changes to become an effective natural migraine cure.  These modifications need to be carried out every day of the week, regardless of holidays and other festivities.  Discipline and focus are needed to achieve consistency.  Don’t look at the long road ahead. Take it one day at a time.  You’ll eventually get there.

Yoga is a form of exercise involving physical and psychological discipline which has its roots in India.  Hatha Yoga is most popularly practiced in the West.   This type focuses on asanas (postures), meditation and pranayama (breathing).  Stress and fatigue are usual factors that set off migraines.

Yoga is an exceptional way to rid your system of this migraine trigger.  Not only is this a wonderful way of improving your overall health, it’s also a good method to lessen the occurrence and gravity of those headaches.  Yoga is the ray of hope for migraine sufferers who want fewer headaches through natural migraine treatments, plus, a toned body on the side.

Before taking on any workout regimen, always consult your doctor.  Watching videos and reading books are excellent ways to familiarise yourself with yoga.  It is highly recommended to discuss your concerns with an expert yoga instructor.  They will be in a better position to advise on what poses are suitable migraine remedies for you.  Better yet, grab a copy of their book – if they have one – and go over it with them.

The internet opens a wealth of resources.  If you just don’t have the extra buck to burn on yoga classes and other paraphernalia, go online for free yoga materials, instructions, exercises and other supplemental natural cures for migraines.  Look for websites or articles with illustrations of the poses to better guide you through the workouts.  For video instructions, watch the whole routine first to gain familiarity on the exercises.

This is a good opportunity for self-assessment, to see firsthand the degree of difficulty of the regimen and if you think you can actually hack it.  Remember, don’t push yourself too hard, especially if it’s your first attempt at working out.  Give your body time to adjust.  It’s definitely worth the wait.

Sickness, diseases, ailments, illnesses – whatever you want to call it – has been with humans since the beginning of time.  From simple headaches to sore muscles to a tummy ache, man has managed to cure what ails them.  Before the age of modern medicine, people relied on the natural remedies that surround them.  Until now, we still reap the benefits of these natural wonders.  Migraine is one such condition that can gain from the curative effects of these natural migraine treatments.

BUTTERBUR (Petasites hybridus) is an herb indigenous to Asia and Europe.  A recent study has reported that it has been effective in cutting migraine occurrence by more than two-thirds.

CAYENNE is likewise an effective natural medicine in foiling migraine attacks.

LAVENDER OIL is efficacious for recurrent headaches.  Put the recommended amount in a diffuser and place it in the room where the migraine sufferer will sleep in.  The scent will hopefully ease the bothersome and throbbing pain.

GINGKO is another anti-clotting herb that can ease migraine pains.

Natural migraine treatments are certainly worth a try.  It has worked for centuries; it hopefully will work its magic now.  Migraine cures are very relative; one cure is different for another. But there’s no harm in trying, right?

Exercise does the body good.  Generally, working out releases endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers.  Not only is exercising a possible natural migraine remedy, it’s also free (that is, if you’re not enrolled in the gym!). But best of all, it will also improve your overall health.  For migraineurs or migraine sufferers, it may just do the trick.  On second thought, it may not.  Migraine varies immensely from person to person that what might remedy some may be a trigger for others.

A new study has shown that a particular exercise program has demonstrated promising results in reducing the headache frequency and enhancing the quality of life.  The study followed the progress of migraineur subjects before, during and after the aerobic exercise.  The regimen involved indoor cycling which was geared towards the improvement of maximal oxygen uptake without exacerbating the migraine.

After the workouts, the patients’ maximum oxygen uptake rose dramatically.  Moreover, the migraine pains of the participants have not deteriorated during the observation period.  But more importantly, there was a remarkable decline in the number of migraine episodes, the number of days with migraines per month, headache severity and the quantity of headache medications used.  Migraineurs are commonly and understandably less active than those with the good fortune of not being one.  As a result, their bodies have less aerobic stamina and flexibility.

This is just the start; there is a long way to go.  More studies have to be conducted in order to establish the optimal amount of exercise needed by migraineurs.  The research conducted above may be further evaluated against pharmacological and non-pharmacological remedies to assess if working out can thwart off migraines.  While doctors and other professionals are continually researching for the ultimate migraine cure, whether through natural remedies or otherwise, continue to discover what will give you that much desired respite from pain.  This is a personal journey that will definitely be worth your every effort.

Hypnotherapy As a Migraine Solution is the process of bringing yourself in a trance-like state – one that resembles sleep – through suggestions to the mind.  Much to the surprise of some, this technique has been used by some migraine sufferers to eliminate the pain.

How could self-hypnosis do the trick?

Self-hypnosis enables the individual to tap into their subconscious mind, know the root of the negative emotions and later release the pain linked to the emotion.  This emotion is what may be giving you stress that sets off the migraine.

How do I do it?

1. Find a comfortable position, either sitting or lying down.
2. Close your eyes.
3. Take several deep breaths.
4. Focus on each inhale and exhale.
5. The concentrated breathing exercise will bring a much lighter and calmer state.
6. Envision a ray of white light go into your body from the top of your head.
7. Allow the light to run throughout your body.
8. Imagine the light cleansing your entire body of all the amassed anxiety and pain.
9. Visualize that light departing from your body from the soles of your feet, bringing with it all the stocked up negative energy and emotions.
10. You should be experiencing an exceptionally relaxed state of mind.
11. Direct your attention on the body part that is hurting.
12. Imagine that this ache is a huge red ball.
13. Resume your deep breathing.
14. Picture that the red ball is slowly getting smaller as you breathe out.
15. Feel the ache dissipate with the ball’s size.
16. Keep on performing this exercise until the ball vanishes.
17. Together with the ball, so will your pain also disappear or be more tolerable.

You may want to record these instructions on tape as the pain may interfere with your concentration.  Allow 2-3 minutes interval for each step.  Practice makes perfect.  Keep on trying until you get it.  Just because this is a natural migraine remedy means it will be easy.

Many people are averse to taking pharmacological formulations and prefer natural migraine treatments.   Reflexology is one alternative.  It involves massage techniques to alleviate aches and pains supported by the principle that every body part is connected to specific points on the hands and feet.

Rule out current medical ailments

There are primary and secondary causes for headaches. Primary causes are those that have no underlying illnesses that cause it.  Migraine headaches, tension headaches and cluster headaches fall under this category.  Secondary causes are those that result from medical ailments, such as traumas and brain illnesses.  The secondary causes have to be ruled out by a doctor through blood tests, CT scan, MRI and the like.

Know how the feet and hand points relate to the body

Your hands and feet are like maps that have corresponding connections to every part of your body.  Reflexologists apply different levels of pressure to specific points in order to ease pain and allay stress.   Pressure techniques employed are aimed at reflexes that lead to muscles in the neck, eyes, head and back.

Press the foot and toes to target the head, neck, back and brain

Apply firm pressure on the entire foot by squeezing it with both hands for 1-2 minutes.  Then, press the entire surface of each toe for a few seconds.  Repeat the process for all the toes.

Press the fingers to target the eyes, head and neck

The fingertips, likewise, map to certain points in the sinus, head and brain.  Squeeze each fingertip, thumb and the sides of the fingers firmly for several seconds.  Gently massage the entire length of the thumb and fingertips from top to bottom.

Drink water at the end of the reflexology treatment

Reflexology exercises discharge toxins in the body.  As such, drinking water after the session and all throughout the day will flush these out of your system.  Furthermore, the water will ease the body’s soreness brought about by the pressure applied to the hands and feet.

May this simple natural remedy help kick that migraine away!

Some migraineurs (migraine sufferers) have an understandable aversion in popping the pill for migraines.  Apart from denting the budget, one worries about its possible side effects.  Here are some natural migraine treatment suggestions for you.

Get Some Shut Eye

Sleep.  Lying down in a dark, quiet room can do wonders for migraine.  Relax your muscles and do some breathing exercises to calm your nerves.

Hot and Cold Treatment

The use of hot or cold depends on which one will ease the pain. Cooler temperatures works for some, while warmer conditions work best with others.  Try any of the following: (1) Put a cold compress or towel on your forehead or behind the neck; (2) Alternately apply warm and cold compresses; and (3) Soak your feet in warm water and place a cool towel on your forehead or head.

Massage

Have another person massage your neck, shoulders, face and back to relax your muscles.  You may also rub your temples in a slow, circular movement.

Acupressure

Here are some simple exercises you could try: (1) Apply a firm pressure on the area between the thumb and forefinger; (2) Press two fingers two inches apart on your neck at the base of the skull for two minutes and (3) Press firmly the area between the big toe and second toe for about one minute, then, do the same to the other foot.

Aromatherapy

Some scents found to ease migraine are Rosemary, Lavender, Jasmine and Peppermint.  These may be mixed with your bath or used with a massage.

Calcium

Try taking Calcium between 1,000mg to 2,000mg to thwart a migraine attack.

Magnesium

Eat foods rich in this mineral, such as nuts, halibut, oatmeal, pumpkin seeds and spinach.

Ginger

Combine one-half teaspoon of fresh ginger with warm water.

Feverfew

Consume about 250mg of this herb everyday.

Complex Carbohydrates

Try eating unpeeled potatoes, wheat crackers and the like to prevent migraines.  However, these may be a trigger for some.

Caffeine

Again, this might be a trigger for some. But if not, try a cup or two of strong coffee when a migraine is impending.

Feverfew is a garden herb belonging to the family of sunflowers and daisies.  The herb emits a strong, fragrant smell allowing it to ward off insects and be used as an air purifier at the same time.  But did you know it can offer some refuge during the throes of an excruciating migraine attack?

What can it do for me?

Historically, Feverfew was employed to alleviate fever, stomach illnesses, menstrual irregularities and headaches.   It can further reduce the severity, duration and regularity of the attacks.    If taken at the start of a headache, Feverfew can actually quash the pain from developing to a migraine.  On a different note, the herb may be used to ease aches associated with arthritis as it contains particular chemicals which are believed to prevent platelets from secreting the inflammatory substances.  Furthermore, the herb slows down the production of prostaglandins.  Prostaglandins are like hormones which may produce swelling and pain.  Having excess prostaglandins set off menstrual cramps.  This characteristic makes the herb a popular remedy among the women to allay cramp pain.

What are the contraindications I should know?

Always, always consult a physician prior to taking any herbal medications.  Just because it’s a natural remedy doesn’t preclude it from reacting to the drugs you’re using.  Chewing fresh leaves of the plant may produce mouth sores.  If a rash appears on the skin during contact with the herb, it is best not to take the plant internally as this may produce acute allergic reactions.  More importantly, do not use the plant when taking blood thinning medications (i.e. Warfarin) as the former will counteract with the latter.

How is it taken?

A 250ml daily dosage is needed to prevent migraines.   Feverfew must be taken everyday for a long period of time to obtain the desired effect and ward off the onset of migraines.  It comes in tablet, capsule and liquid form.

There are numerous natural migraine remedies out there.  All you need to do is discover which one will kick that migraine away.

Electromagnetic energy flows throughout the human body and its circulation impacts the state of your health.  The body has seven primary distribution points for this energy called chakras.  Chakra is “wheel” in Sanskrit.  The chakras run from the base of the spine to the crown of the head.  Each chakra guides the energy to the muscles, nerves and organs in specific body parts.

Unhealthy lifestyles, however, may obstruct the chakras.  Such an occurrence will oftentimes bring on a migraine.  Hence, it is believed by some that unblocking the chakras will result in the dissipation of migraines.

It was previously stated that every chakra is the central energy point for particular organs.  Therefore, emotional and physical energy will definitely be affected by the condition of the chakras.  For migraines, the primary focus is on the head chakras.

Ajna is the sixth of the seven primary chakras, which means “command” in Sanskrit.  It is popularly referred to as the brow chakra or the third eye.  This is situated on the forehead between the eyes.  This chakra is associated with psychic ability and its link to other glands, such as the pineal and pituitary glands.  An obstructed Anja is one trigger for a migraine.  Once balanced, this chakra will emanate a deep indigo colour.

The seventh chakra is Sahasrara or thousand-petal lotuses, also known as the crown chakra sits at the top of the head.  The crown chakras coordinate with you roots to balance the body’s energy.  Manifestations of imbalance in this chakra are sleeping problems, fatigue, stress and migraines.  Sahasrara will radiate a violet aura once unblocked.

Several techniques can clean up obstructed .  Generally, recommended methods are through colour therapy, visualization and meditation.  Objects such as crystals and semi-precious stones are often employed as well to balance chakras.

Learn to listen to your body.  It will tell you what is wrong.
