Natural cure for Migraine
Here are 5 most effective cure for Migraine.
Massage
*. Gently massage your head with yourfirst two fingers in a circular motion.
While massaging, keep in mind that there are pressure points at locations like the base of the skull, middle of the forehead (between the eyebrows) and corners of the eyes that when pressed correctly help relieve pain.
*. Alternatively, heat two tablespoons of sesame oil.
Mix in one-half teaspoon each of cinnamon and cardamom powder.
Apply this mixture on your forehead and massage.
Leave it on for a few hours before washing it off.
Apples
Eating an apple as soon as you experience the warning signs of a migraine attack can help reduce the problem.
Moreover, research suggests that the smell of a green apple can also help reduce the severity of migraine and shorten migraine episodes, especially for those who find the smell pleasing.
Ice cubes
*. Wrap a few ice cubes in a clean towel and place it on your temples, forehead and/or the back of your neck for 10 to 15 minutes.
Repeat as needed.
*. You can also try alternating hot and cold compresses for about 15 minutes, as needed.
For better results, add lavender and/or peppermint essential oils to the water for the compress.
Peppermint
*. Simply drink peppermint tea sweetened with honey.
Repeat as needed.
*. You can also massage each of your temples with one drop of peppermint essential oil or a combination of peppermint and lavender oils.
Leave it on for at least 20 to 30 minutes.
Do this a few times a day until you get relief.
Ginger
*. Drink ginger tea a few times throughout the day until you get relief.
Make sure to drink it at the onset of your headache.
*. Simply chewing on a piece of raw ginger root will also help treat the problem and relieve symptoms like nausea and digestive distress.
