I’ve always been prone to getting migraines here and there. Sometimes they come on quickly and disappear just as fast—usually, a nap does the trick. But other times, I get a bit of a heads-up with symptoms like light sensitivity or nausea. The last time it happened, I hadn’t had a migraine in months and was really hoping they had stopped for good. I had gotten used to feeling great every day, and that day seemed no different—at least, that’s what I thought.
The day began with beautiful weather, and I had a bunch of errands planned. I was determined to check everything off my list, come hell or high water—and migraines weren’t going to stop me. I wanted to finish everything by noon, before the day got too hot, so I was rushing from one task to the next.
But before I could take any preventative steps, I felt the first sign of a migraine coming on. While loading groceries into my car, the sunlight suddenly seemed way too bright. I scrambled to grab my spare sunglasses from the glovebox and chugged half a bottle of water, hoping that might stave it off long enough to finish my errands and get home. Once there, I could try some home remedies I knew helped with migraines.
There are plenty of home remedies to try for migraines. One of the easiest is to take a nap. Just darken the room, relax, and let yourself drift off to a peaceful sleep to de-stress your mind. Of course, when you’re busy, it’s not always easy to drop everything for a nap.
If a nap’s not an option, consider going the herbal route. A hot herbal tea made from ginger, peppermint, and cayenne can work wonders for headaches and the nausea they bring. If hot tea isn’t your thing, a cold lavender lemonade can be refreshing and helpful too. Chewing ginger root might also give you some relief.
When a migraine makes me feel a bit off, I turn to nuts. A bowl of almonds on my counter is my go-to snack. Not only is it a healthier choice compared to medication, but almonds contain Salicin and Magnesium. Salicin works like the anti-inflammatory found in aspirin, and Magnesium helps relax muscles and ease stress, both of which might trigger migraines.
For extra relief, a little caffeine can sometimes help. It might sound contradictory since too much caffeine can cause headaches, but a small amount during a migraine can be soothing. It can even boost the effectiveness of any pain relievers you take. Just be cautious—too much caffeine can backfire, especially if you’re a coffee lover like me.
Lastly, here’s another surprising remedy: eating turkey. You know that sleepy feeling after Thanksgiving dinner? Turkey contains Tryptophan, an amino acid that boosts dopamine in the brain, which helps uplift your mood. This process releases serotonin, easing anxiety and relaxing your mind. It even helps relax the muscles around your brain, soothing a migraine.
These home remedies provide satisfying alternatives to over-the-counter medications. I’ve found them quite effective, and I encourage anyone suffering from migraines to give them a shot. You might be pleasantly surprised by the results.
In conclusion, researching over-the-counter medications can help manage migraines, and exploring options like chiropractic care is worth considering. I’ve also discovered Braincore Treatment, another medication-free approach. Take some time to look into these options I’ve discussed.
