Are you one of those people who suffers from frequent or occasional migraine headaches?
If you are I feel for you…I myself belong to a long line of migraine sufferers.
Statistics show that at least 25% of women will get a migraine headache at some point in their lives.

Half of those women will get the the migraine before they turn 20 years old
According to Stats Canada only 8% of people suffering from migraines have been diagnosed with migraine by their doctor. The rest goes undiagnosed thinking that they suffer from allergies, sinus problems or other illnesses with similar symptoms.
To live with a migraine headache is not very pleasant.
Some women suffering from migraines are very sensitive to light, sensitive to noises around them. Many women also suffer from nausea as a result of migraine headaches.
Fortunately there is a little light at the end of the painful tunnel….there are ways that can help to relieve migraine pain and maybe even eliminate migraine headache all together.
Just following simple migraine solutions will help you prevent most migraine attacks or help with their severity.
10 Simple Tips How To Prevent or Ease Migraines:
- Make sure you get 8 hours of sleep at night.
- Do not watch TV in your bed.
- Stop eating 4 hours before bedtime.
- Try not to drink anything 2 hours before bedtime.
- At the first sign of migraine use cold packs for your forehead.
- Make sure you are getting enough Magnesium (known as muscle relaxant).
- Relax and take time out to daydream.
- Cut down the fat intake in your diet to less then 20g per day.
- Try Lavender or Eucalyptus aromatherapy (make a warm compress using few drops of the essential oils, burn scented candles or try soap and/or body wash). Combine this with daydreaming for double migraine solution.
- Don’t eat foods that contain amino acid. Amino acids are know to trigger migraine headaches in some people.

My son has migraines. It’s heredity. We have a lavender scented neck “pillow” that you toss in the microwave. I don’t know if it makes any difference but it comforts him.

I have a cream with lavendar in it and I use it when I have migraine headache and it works! I think it’s something to do with the smell…

That’s what I have as well. I also have a lavender pillow mist.
I don’t think I’ve ever had one, still. But my fiance occasionally gets them. He has meds for them, but they don’t always work, and/or he doesn’t always have them with him. I’ll definitely keep these tips in mind.

I have had migraines all my life! It’s ‘hell on earth’!
It is worse as you get older and suffer with the menopause! I find that I have to be very careful of what I eat or drink … for me, cheese and chocolate are very bad! (and… of course, I LOVE cheese) x
I noticed that chocolate and cheese are not friends of migraine…..and that is when I crave it. Luckily, I get migraines only occasionally.
I have ahd migranes since I was 17 years old— not fun!!! I will actually give myself magnesium shots at the first sign of a migraine and it can be extremely helpful!

So sorry to hear that, Alexis. Migraines are awful to deal with. I get migraines on rare occasion, but it’s not pleasant experience.
