Migraines

I can honestly say that I do not know if I have had a migraine. I have had some bad headaches, but I do not have any experience with the sort of headache that my poor migraine suffering friends talk about! Either way, as I do have many friends who suffer from migraines, I research them a lot! The main thing that my friend Sunshine, a frequent migraine sufferer, has stated worked for her were the green drinks. Now many of my friends have many different ailments and are of all different age groups, but most who have tried the green smoothies for migraines and managed to restrict triggers from their diets (gluten, for example) say that this is a good way to go!

Since I do not suffer from this specific ailment other then regular headaches, usually sinus induced due to my allergies, here is a link with a testimonial:

This link includes a recipe and a testimonial from a migraine sufferer:

This link says it could be linked to body acidity - guess what it alkaline? APPLE CIDER VINEGAR!

This recipe looks amazing:

Now, in addition to the possible miracle of more magnesium into your diet, you can add magnesium oil to your routine to help improve mood. Magnesium oil is not cheap from what I have found online, but I did also find some threads that indicate that if you purchase toxin free nigiri and dissolve it in water it becomes magnesium oil, so may as well save some bucks if you can! Once the oil is made, pop it into a spray bottle and spray your arms and legs and middle and see if that doesn't help any!

Now, I can imagine that migraines make you dizzy and perhaps the smoothies will not take the pain away... my sinus headaches are not very fun and can combine similar elements. Of course, there are a myriad of over the counter remedies that may work like Excedrin Migraine or some such, but if you are looking for a healthier alternative for the pain part other than juices, see the following links:

http://frugallysustainable.com/2012/05/how-to-treat-migraines-with-an-herbal-tincture-at-home-a-recipe/ (kind of gave up on making tinctures after the last one was so alcohol, but I may try again some day with glycerin of some sort)
http://www.learningherbs.com/news_issue_92.html I do make a medical salve that would probably also work for migraines, but it does contain maryjane, so if you have a medical card and need assistance making your own, feel free to message me :)

Other then a super awesome pillow, darkness, some soothing music and aromatherapy, this is all I have so far on migraines. If I find anymore, I will let you all know!

Love and light <3 Psynn
