For several years I have been suffering from severe headaches. I used to think it was sinus pain, but a consultation with an Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist determined that it might actually be a type of migraine that I've be experiencing all these years. The ENT wanted me to try the migraine medicine Imitrex to see if it would help. Unfortunately I cant take this medication because it would cause a bad reaction with another medication I'm on.

I started to do some research on natural migraine relief. It seems like the most popular remedy for migraines is an herb called feverfew. Now if you have allergies to ragweed you should not take feverfew. Since ragweed does happen to be one of my allergies, I had to dig a bit deeper. I finally found out that ginger is also a great natural remedy for migraines. So today I went to a holistic pharmacy near my home and purchased some ginger extract. On the drive home, I started getting one of my bad headaches so I tried the ginger extract as soon as I got home. I only took half of the dose recommended on the bottle and noticed a big improvement after about 45 minutes. My headache didn't go away completely, but at least I know this stuff works. I'll experiment with slightly higher doses until I find the amount that will relieve my headache completely.

My husband suffers from very bad headaches and he has tried everything he is on imatrex injections but sometimes it dosnt stop all the pain, the dr put him on oxygen at 15 litters on a rebreather mask and the headache is gone in a matter of min.Some insurance plans will pay for it some wont. also he has tried a drug that you can get at the vitamin store called Melatonan it works well in fact since he started takeing it he has not had a headache at all, he tried to stop and the headaches returned. just a few things that have helped him.

That's very interesting because I believe Melatonan is also a natural sleep remedy. It never helped me with sleep though.

Thanks Kythe42 for the information. I knew about feverfew because my son used to take it when he was younger for his migraines. He does not get them very often anymore but I will be sure to pass along this information about ginger extract.

Ginger is also great for nausea as well as pain so hopefully it would help with the vomiting too.

Isn't is great when you are able to find natural remedies? I have a few friends that swear by ginger for getting rid of headaches. I must confess that I thought they were a bit off their rockers but one of them made me try it when I had a pounding headache and it worked wonderfully. I did find that tit does not work when I get a migraine though, but that might be because of the fact that when I do have migraines they are due to my epilepsy.

Glad that it helps you for some of your headaches.

Something really funny happened the day after I bought the ginger extract. My mother was flipping through the channels and stumbled onto an infomercial about a book for natural cures. Someone in the audience asked about a cure for lower back pain. The host said that ginger extract was great for that and that ginger is one of nature's best anti-inflammatory remedies and that it often works better than ibprofen. This must be true, ibprofen hasn't helped headaches in a long time. Just an odd coincidence that my mother saw this the day after I started trying the ginger.

I have the same problem, I take way more then I am suppose to. I think I take around 5 depending on how bad the head is hurting me.
