What is an effective and practical cure for migraines?

Cannot include any prescription medications.

In over 50% of migraine sufferers the best treatment is to lie down in a darkened room, turn off all sound or play soothing music softly, place an ice pack on the forhead and try to relax.

In most cases relaxation is the key to relieving migraines.

One of the responers recommended caffeine. There have been many headache preparations over the years which have used caffeine, and some migraine sufferers have relief of occasional migraines with caffeine. However, it is much more common for alterations in caffeine levels or exposure to caffeine are found to be the trigger which causes migraines. Many new studies have found the caffeine causes irritation and inflammation which creates rather than relieves headaches.

Another person recommended ibuprofen. Again, ibuprofen can be effective for relief of occasional migraines in some patients, but in patients with recurrent or frequent migranes, ibuprofen is much more often part of a condition called analgesic rebound headaches, where the medication causes the headaches to recur.

The herbalife guy, is enterprising, and may be trying to be helpful. However, most naturopathic physicians prefer to work with pure substances and recommend you not order combination tonics which do not advertise the contents of the concentrates or tonics. Usually studies of these have found that they provide an inadequate amount of the substance to be of any true benefit, and the results they profess are mostly anecdotal. Also it is advised that you be wary of 100% guarantees on by mail items, as we in the US rarely, it has been found, take the time and effort to send the remaining amounts back to the company to get the refund of the purchase price, but not the shipping and handling. Most people realize that once they have spent $14 to ship and handle the stuff to your home and you try it for a few weeks, they ask you to return the unused portion, which will cost you another $14 to get it to them on time for the offer, in order to get the $28 purchase price back.

Magnesium and vitamin A can be helpful.

A good resource is the following website:
http://www.headaches.org

They have many patient resources, including a migraine diet and other advice which can be helpful.

I recommend that you visit my website http://www.herbalcoach.com/store/les and order from there our fabulous products named Herbal Aloe Concentrate, Tang Kuei and Herbalifeline. By consuming these according to the directions you will find that the migraines will go away and most likely not recur. All our products come to you with a 30 day 100% Money Back Guarantee.

Believe it or not, caffeine works for me (and many other migraine sufferers I know). Caffeine is basically what's in Excedrin for Migraines.. So, I either have coffee, take Excedrin, or have both if it's really bad.

It's also good to put a cold, damp towel across your eyes and lay in a quiet and dark room.

Hope this helps!
