How do we control or stop a migraine without taking the traditional pain killer? Its common knowledge now that there are other methods to reduce the onslaught of migraines – some of those methods are long-gone tried and trusted ways that would have been used a long while back when no paracetemol was available on the shelves in the chemist. In fact, there are all forms of concoctions using herbs that are commonly grown in the backyard that will help to reduce migraine symptoms. That information would fill up my day to provide for you, so instead here are a few simple ways to help you combat the migraine.
* Get enough sleep. Yes, simple right? Getting enough sleep has been shown to help reduce migraines. Enough sleep would tend to mean something like 7 to 9 hours although this does vary. Recent scientific tests have shown that the older we get the less sleep we tend to need. So its no wonder that grandma used to spend most nights and early mornings watching television or reading her book.
* Meditate. A great way to destress after work is to find a quiet place – even for a short while – and meditate. No, this does not mean humming to yourself or floating in the air. It does mean focusing upon something or somethings that relax you and make you feel good with yourself. Positive thinking does, after all, do wonders!
* Aromatherapy. This is a form of massage therapy but in general terms is much lighter – more of a gentle stroking to the body. However, the use of oils to ease bodily tensions is certainly of benefit. Aromatherapy oils are taken from plant extracts and so can help ease pain and tension in a similar way to that of medication.
* Diets and food and drink intake. I think you know without me saying here about what you should and should not be putting down your throat. Too much caffeine – migraine! Too much alcohol – migraine! Too much junky food – sore stomach and potentially a migraine! Try to avoid over-indulging in any of these \”pleasures\”.
* Eye compress. There are a number of eye compresses that can be used to ease a migraine and it is claimed reduce puffiness around the eyes. A towel dipped in cold water and draped over the eyes while you rest can be helpful.
