How To Cure A Migraine And Not Max On Tablets
There are a number of ways to cure a migraine that do not include having to down half a dozen pain killers. Although many painkillers are actually plant-based, they can, if over-indulged in, cause a number of nasty side effects. Nobody in their right mind would want this to happen so what are the alternatives on offer?
* Get enough sleep. Yes, simple right? Getting enough sleep has been shown to help reduce migraines. Enough sleep would tend to mean something like 7 to 9 hours although this does vary. Recent scientific tests have shown that the older we get the less sleep we tend to need. So its no wonder that grandma used to spend most nights and early mornings watching television or reading her book.
* Meditation. Meditation is a way of paying attention to not only physical bodily needs but also mental. Its a great way to destress after a hard day, or to improve your mood. Using meditation thus can affect a migraine in a very positive way. Meditation can be a great way to relax the muscles in the body and in this way can help resolve a migraine.
* Aromatherapy. How lovely to be able to enjoy a nice relaxing massage! Aromatherapy is not quite like what we would call a traditional massage. Its more of a light tissue massage while using oils to help relax and soothe the body. Plant extracts used in aromatherapy have been proven to do just this – relax the mind and body and ease the tensions away from the hassles of daily life.
*Watch the diet. Are you guilty of over-indulging in any of the following: alcohol; junk foods; caffeine (eg coffee)? If so then this could be leading to you suffering regularly from migraines. I know myself recently I have been taking a different type of coffee and have been suffering from headaches. Makes a change because usually my headaches arise from the over-indulgence in alcohol.
* Eye compresses. Interestingly, the use of eye compresses can be good for reducing migraine symptoms. Eye compresses also reduce puffiness and dark shadows from below the eyes. Compression around the eyes will tend to stimulate those key areas that can have a relaxing affect on our bodies. Try it out!
