Default Health Science Institute Suggestions

A friend sent this to me recently regarding natural suggestions for migraine prevention...many I have personally heard to be helpful:


Headache helpers
------------------------------------------------------------------

CoQ10 is a superior antioxidant, essential for the production of energy in every cell of the body. But it's just one of the effective non-drug treatments that migraine patients have at their disposal.
Many migraine patients have been shown to have magnesium deficiencies, so a boost in magnesium levels often proves helpful. And some patients have found migraine relief with acupuncture treatments. In several e-Alerts I've discussed other alternatives for treating or minimizing migraine headaches without the use of drugs or conventional painkillers…
In "The Best Offense…" (9/29/04) I told you about a study that shows how riboflavin (also known as vitamin B-2) may provide substantial help in reducing the frequency of migraines.
In "Downhill From Here" (3/10/05) an HSI member was quoted from a posting on the HSI Healthier Talk community forums: "I have discovered a cure that starts within 30 minutes for migraine headaches. I juice up a bunch of celery and take 2 oz. of juice whenever I feel a migraine coming on. Then I lay down and within 30 minutes my migraine starts going away most of the time."
In "Like Buttah" (1/19/05) I told you about a study in which a group of migraine patients took 75 mg of butterbur root extract daily and cut migraine frequency by nearly half. *
In "How do You Spell Respect?" (11/5/02) I told you about the herbal anti- inflammatory called feverfew that helps some patients reduce migraine pain.

Talk to your doctor before using any of these treatments to address migraines.

*There is some controversy regarding the safety of Butterbur, so if you go to a health food store and ask for it, you might ask if they have pharmaceutical grade quality or if they can order this.
