You must’ve been really annoyed by this worst disease of migraine. I understand this because I have it too. And the worst part is, there’s no cure for migraines. Weird, huh? It’s quite bad news but here’s good news too: you can still analyze your migraines like whenever it hits you, you just try to see how it was triggered. Notice all of your migraine triggers and one day, it will be in your hand to control its hits. But that’s just one way to prevent this from happening. There are many other ways that can improve your migraine up to a significant level. And trust me, if you don’t practice those ways, you can worsen your migraine conditions in the future and your life will surely become a huge burden on you. This condition doesn’t sound bad because it’s just a headache, right? No, it isn’t just a headache. It is a lot more than that and no one wants those bad symptoms to occur every time. This is why I’m here to tell you about some really effective remedies and activities that can help you with this condition. So let’s take a look at them.

1. Use Essential Oils

Essential oils, as the name implies, are “essential” for you. And in the case of severe headaches, you’re going to need them really badly. There are many essential oils – let me name a few of them: Lavender oil, peppermint oil, rosemary oil, chamomile oil, etc. These oils have special scents and other abilities that can easily cure such problems. And the best thing about Lavender oil is that only inhaling their scent cures migraine. Isn’t it amazing? You can use these oils for application and massage but make sure that you dilute them with a carrier oil like coconut oil or olive oil.

2. Manage Your Stress

You might already know that stress causes you headaches. And it’s a really simple thing to predict because you know, stress happens when your mind starts processing on only one part like a fight that you had with your loved one recently. Thinking about the same thing and stressing that on your mind will cause you stress and this will ultimately cause you a headache. Stress can be a very good trigger for your migraine. All you have to do is practice managing your stress levels. For this, you have different activities to do that will take your mind away from one point to another point which is positive and will give you relief. Activities like listening to light and ambient music, singing songs, dancing a little, or simply reading a book filled with positive energy. Choose how you’d want to manage your stress.

3. Having Ginger In Your Diet

Ginger has been considered a migraine drug for more than 6 years now. The best thing about consuming them is that they don’t have any side effects like you won’t gain weight or you won’t get obese at all. In fact, there are many other health and sexual benefits that you can get with ginger. That’s how magical this vegetable is!

4. Acupressure

Acupressure is actually a procedure that includes applying pressure to different locations on your body using hands and fingers usually. These different points on our body have the ability to release muscle tension and pains if you apply some pressure on them. Of course, the right practitioner of acupressure will know everything about every single point of a body and they also know how much pressure is sufficient or optimal. So make sure that you hire a professional for this one. They’ll apply the pressure for about 5 minutes and this will instantly cure your migraine, temporarily of course, since there’s no permanent cure for this.

5. Bring Some Changes To Your Diet

There are many people in this world who claim that they have different food as triggers. This means that if they eat those foods, they trigger their migraine, and voila – here comes severe headache! Do you know any food that triggers yours? If not, then you should spend some time analyzing this. After that, just try not to eat them and your migraine will be fine. Some common migraine triggers are as follows:

• Dark chocolates
• Caffeine like Coke, Coffee, etc.
• Wine
• Alcohol

But of course, there could be more foods according to your body that cause YOU migraine.

6. Get A Shoulder Or Neck Massage

Let me tell you that this is an amazing way to release muscle tension and get rid of migraine pains and issues almost immediately. The body parts that you must focus on only are the neck and the shoulders because from there, you can release the pains and get super relaxed. Also, if you have stress issues, a neck and shoulder massage will amazingly reduce the discomfort due to it. Although not everyone can afford to get a massage almost every day by a professional masseuse. In such a case, you can make use of a rubber ball like a tennis ball and use that to massage all by yourself.

7. Never Forget To Stay Hydrated

This is one of the most common factors of bodily problems around the world. People do not realize that they are destroying their healthy by not drinking enough water daily. They are so busy with their lives that they simply forget to drink water. Many of them miss drinking it on purpose, like, why? You do know that your body consists of water and the composition is around 70%. You cannot logically and practically expect your body to work fine if you don’t provide enough water to it. It’s like daily fuel! And yes, you must also know that if your body suffers even a little bit of dehydration, it will trigger a headache. Since you’re a migraine person, dehydration or drinking less water daily is a really important trigger for you. Make sure that you avoid it completely!

8. Get Lots Of Vitamin-B

You do know that there are neurotransmitters in the brain, right? There’s this chemical in our brain called serotonin that is responsible for communication between the nerve cells. Due to the fluctuations in the levels of this chemical, the neurotransmitters are affected which triggers the migraine. Vitamin-B is something you definitely need because it will reduce the severity of the migraine and also prevent it from occurring frequently. It actually regulates the neurotransmitters. So make sure that you add vitamin B to your diet from now on. You can buy vitamin-B pills to consume them directly and also consider eating red meat, milk, cheese, eggs, beans, lentils, brown rice, etc.

9. Use Cold Compresses

Cold compresses work like a charm. For those who have no idea what I’m talking about – cold compresses are like ice bags or cold bags that you use on an affected area of your body. Usually, people in sports use these bags to cure their pain and swelling and they do it by pressing it against the injured area. This releases the tension from there and you feel instantly relaxed. So if you have a migraine issue, then cold compresses can be a good friend of yours. Just buy one or make one and use them on your head. This will reduce the migraine effect significantly. To make a cold compress, just get a plastic bag and fill it with ice cubes. Use that on your head as a home-made cold compress.

10. Coffee Is Good

If caffeine doesn’t trigger your migraine, then caffeine is a really amazing migraine drug and you can have it in coffee. Basically, if you have coffee, the caffeine in it will relax and soothe your mind and improve the blood flow through your blood vessels. All this will have a very positive effect on your migraine symptoms. You can also take a Panadol Extra since it contains caffeine and it works like a charm as well. Get the Panadol that is in a custom retail box – make sure of it. This indicates that the panadol is a high-grade brand that buys their custom retail box in wholesale from Dawn Printing which is a greatly known packaging firm. But try not to take too much of this medicine and don’t make a habit out of it.

11. Do Yoga

Stress can take your life down easily but this is where your will has to stand up. If you’re having stress issues, this will ultimately trigger your migraine. Basically, yoga helps in reducing stress, giving you pain relief, and improve life quality. You just start to feel like you’re living a happy and healthy life full of soothing moments and that’s all. You can start yoga today by simply going to YouTube or any other website from where you can get the instructions of yoga and its poses.

12. Pay Attention To Your Sleep

Sleeping is one of the most important parts of the day. People these days spend most of their time in front of screens. And it’s a really addicting thing for us. We lie down on the bed at 11 pm and don’t sleep until it’s 3. Why? Because we have our cell phones in our hands and we’re addicted to social media and watching random videos a lot. It’s doing nothing but ruining our sleep and a bad sleeping routine is a huge factor in triggering a migraine. Improve your sleeping routine and make sure that you sleep about 7-9 hours every day.
