Natural Headache Relief

Tweet

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. ~Kythe http://lemurianphoenix.blogspot.com
