Stop Migraine Headaches

As sure as the sun will rise, so is aging an eventual reality.   People get old, period.  No ifs and buts.  Our bodies will give subtle signs that the clock is indeed ticking.  For migraine sufferers or migraineurs, adding on the years can actually be more advantageous.  Statistics show that only 2-10% of the older generation experience migraines, compared to the 28% for those under 65.  Right off the bat, aging seems to be a natural migraine remedy.

They say life begins at 40.  For migraineurs, migraines reach its height at about the same age.  Past 40, many migraineurs experience reduced episodes of the neurological disorder.  Even better news, for those beyond the age of 55, both the frequency and gravity of the attacks are lessened.

But the magic number seems to be 65.  Approximately two-thirds of migraine sufferers have totally ceased having the episodes by this age.  For the unfortunate few who still have attacks past the age of 65, migraines have considerably improved.  The occurrences have been significantly less acute, not as frequent and briefer in duration.  Moreover, the gastrointestinal problems faced by younger migraineurs are more likely to wane at this point for the elderly.

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.
