If you, or someone close to you suffers from migraines then I'm sure you know and appreciate how debilitating it can be. It literally leaves people with no other choice but to lock themselves away in a dark, quiet room until the migraine passes. It is miserable!Too many sufferers are told that the only option they have is to take frequent doses of heavy medication whenever they feel their symptoms coming on. But this isn't the only option. In fact there are many natural options that have been proven to work for people over the years, so here are 5 of the most effective ones:
1. Drink enough water. Drink half your body weight in fluid ounces at least, more if you are working outside in the heat and sweating a lot. Dehydration is one of the most common causes that leads to or exacerbates headaches and migraines.
2. Clean up your diet. Food triggers are probably the most common cause of migraines. So start with a detox diet where you remove all of the common triggers such as sugar, dairy, and gluten and then if that helps, add them back in one at a time so you can document what causes flare-ups so you know which foods to avoid.
3. Cut back on alcohol and caffeine. Both are known triggers of migraines. You can still indulge, but find your limits and make it more of an occasional thing.
4. Find a supportive pillow. When you're lying down for 6-8 hours a night on a pillow that doesn't provide the right support, then you develop irritation and inflammation in the sensitive neck joints and muscles which then leads to headaches and migraines.
5. Get assessed by a Chiropractor. Chiropractic alone won't always clear your migraines if there are other issues such as food triggers, but in almost every case a Chiropractic adjustment will at least calm down the migraine symptoms and lessen your need for medication.
