Cure
Migraine Headache
Migraine is a specific type of headaches. It is most commonly described as
a strong pain on one side of the head with sensitivity to light and sounds
and may cause nausea. Today’s medicine does not have a final and
specific answer to what causes migraine and how to cure it. A doctor will
usually list a half of things you do as a cause and prescribe a medicine
that will knock you of your feet but will not affect your migraine.
The most common causes of migraine that everybody will agree on are
hormonal imbalance, food and stress. Considering that hormonal imbalance
is most of the time caused by food, it is safe to assume that migraines
are caused by foods we eat and thought we think. If this assumption is
correct, curing a migraine headache as a simple but difficult task.
If you are a person that worries a lot and if stress affects you, your
migraine may be caused by your thought. To cure it you will need to work
hard and long on self-improvement and discipline. These are only some
things that may help:
 |
Determine
what is important to you and what is marginal. Make sure the important
things are taken care of; the marginal things can wait.
|
 |
Nobody
is perfect, so stop trying.
|
 |
You
can't change other people, so accept them or avoid them.
|
 |
Wherever
you go, leave 10 minutes early.
|
 |
Accept
death as a normal part of life. We will all die one day, so we should
enjoy the time we have
|
There
is no one single food that causes everybody’s migraine. We are all
different and the things affect us differently. It is very important to
pay attention to the food we eat and to all the ways it affect us. Some
foods will cause your migraine every time you eat it. Some foods will
affect you only after you eat a certain quantity or in a certain
frequency.
To
avoid the headache caused by food pay attention to what you eat. Write
down everything you eat and the time you ate it at. On the same list write
down all dates and times you have a migraine and how long it lasted. In
time your list will show a pattern that will uncover the cause of your
headache. If the cause is not obvious, try adding up: it would be
something like this “I had a small piece of chocolate this week and did
not have a headache. I had 4 pieces of chocolate last week and I had a
headache. This means that I should not eat chocolate in large quantities.
It may be helpful for a migraine sufferer to go through a period of
detoxification by fasting or eating a raw food diet. This process can
reduce or even prevent migraine in some people.
Whatever the reason, migraine is bothersome and you just want it
gone.
For
quick fix help try these remedies:
 |
Hold
an ice bag on your neck and head. |
 |
Lay
down in a dark room without a pillow and with your
knees lifted. Close your eyes and cover them
with a cold wet cloth.
|
 |
Eat
Bananas,
eggs, tomato juice
|
There is another cause that is not widely recognized but very often causes
headache of any kind. It is dehydration. Before you pop up another pill
and before you let your headache develop into a full-blown migraine, try
drinking something. Although, water is the best drink and irreplaceable in
your diet, in this case you may want to try tea. Not because any specific
type of tea magically cures migraine, but because your body can absorb
warm liquid much better than cold. So, unless you are a fan of warm water,
tea would be your best bet to replenish liquid in your body.
