When you feel that a migraine is about to strike you down you will most commonly try to get hold of some sort of drug from your pharmacy that will help to get rid of the problem. However, there are some migraine headache home remedies to consider in order to allow you to lessen the problem or get rid of it altogether.
The first and possibly best thing for you to try it to get yourself an ice pack. This can be made at home by following some simple instructions. First get yourself a towel and then wet it slightly so that its not dripping. Then fold it into the right shape and place it in the freezer. When its starting to freeze, take it out and refold it so that any wet areas are exposed. Once its fully stiff then you can take it out and place it over the head and eyes to lessen the effects of the headache.
Another good idea is to get more salt into your diet. If you feel that a migraine is coming on then make sure that you eat certain snacks that are high in salt.
Sometimes this will prevent the migraine from coming but sometimes it won’t. In any case it will allow you to make any other preparations such as the frozen towel.
Another treatment you might consider will involve the help of someone else. You should simply sit in a darkened silent room and have someone massage your scalp and the head but avoiding the temples. You might also think about this massage over a wet towel placed on the head. After ten minutes of this you should begin to feel better. If not, move onto something else.
These are a few possible ideas for migraine home remedies.
