Does anyone have any good home remedies for migraines?

I get migraine headaches. The Dr's have given me different kinds of things to try but I can't take them. They intensify my headaches instead of getting rid of them. Anyone know of something ...

Libra Lady	I take a Orange Gatorade ( cold ) a Small one, Its been known to to get rid of headhes real fast

smilingeyezzzz	Take 4 Motrin over the counter kind. Cup of hot tea & relax for a half hour .........

special k :)	thats a very tricky one because people get them for many different reasons - prevention is preffiable if you do have one you'll just have to ride it out and lay low the only things that i can suggest and hope that they help is to cut out all caffee from your diet and drink distilled water (not filtered or purified) maybe also try seeing a natropath to see what they can do for you, take your blood test results and stuff like that.. good luck, know how painfull they can be

HxCSRH	a bottle of perkaset,a joint,a shroom or 12 and a 40oz always helped me and acid help keep it away =]

Hannah	I get migraines from caffiene. I gave up anything caffienated and it helped a lot.

~Candy~	i get migraine headaches too and sometimes i found out that they are triggered by some preservatives in certain foods, i think that it is the nitrates that causes some headaches, such as if you have really greasy bacon... that can cause migraines. you can find out which foods might trigger it. or if you dont want to take all of that time.... ice packs and cold showers with a washcloth over your eyes can help. it also helps to be relaxed by taking a bath or listening to quiet music. Hope i could help.

ilovepink	i know how you feel. try taking an 800mg of ibprofen and a swig of nyquil. sounds crazy but it works wonders for me! hope you start feeling better

Jessica G	I have been getting migraines from when i was 10. and there is no sure fix. What i have found eases the pain often is putting ice in my neck... other than that just a dark, quiet room and lots of sleep.

sarah jane	When I have a bad one, I have to have my head underwater- I'm not sure why, but this is the only thing that helps me. I draw a hot bath, as hot as I can stand, and I lay down flat in it and breathe out through my nose. I don't know why, but it works for me.

Megs	I have heard that pressing on your toes (where ever the pressure point is) relieves migrane pain.

Tee Dub	sour candy

JusMe	Preventive meds like Inderal (generic Propranolol) helps some. Also, there is Topamax.

victoria b	The only thing that ever got rid of them for me was a cold flannel, dark room and silence

Bottom Contributor	U can get temporary relief by sniffing JUST A FEW GRAINS of ground cayenne pepper. This actually works. Your nose will sting just a bit, but the migraine will weaken. Hope this helps.

tinkerbells_13	the place between your pointer finger and thumb is the nerve spot for your head. it you pinch between there it's suposed to stop the headache. it might work, it might not, or it might not.

Halema	I use Cranial Sacral Therapy for migraine headaches on my clients. Some clients have reported back to me that they no longer have to take their medicines, prescription and OTC. Others report only having migraines once every three or four months, and then they return to see me for another treatment. To find a therapist in your area, go to http://www.iahp.com/pages/search/index.php I get migraine headaches, but since I am the CST, there is no one to work on me. I use Lavender essential oil, just one drop on each temple, rubbing in a circular motion. Sometimes, I carry the bottle with me and sniff it when I feel the migraine coming on to help stop it. Of course, sometimes, they still come on, so Lavender and sleep really works fine, too.

hava	Home remedy for migraine is pranayam (breathing exercise).If you do not try you will never know.To convince yourself try for 8 days and then decide.Your migraine will disappear in 4 months if you do pranayam at the maximum timing.You will start to notice the benefits after 1 week. Build up your timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume later. Drink some warm water before each session. Kapalbhati -(Do it before eating) Push air forcefully out through the nose about once per second. Stomach will itself go in(contract in). The breathing in(through the nose) will happen automatically. Establish a rhythm and do for upto 15 minutes twice a day.(Max 60 min/day) Not for pregnant women. Seriously ill people do it gently. Anulom Vilom - Deep Breath-in through left nostril keeping right nostril closed then - Breath-out through right nostril keeping left nostril closed then -Deep Breath-in through right nostril keeping left nostril closed then - Breath-out through left nostril keeping right nostril closed and repeat this cycle for 20 to 30 minutes twice a day(maximum 60 min/day). Bhramri Pranayam -Close eyes. Close ears with thumb, index finger on forehead, and rest three fingers on base of nose touching eyes. Breathe in through nose. And now breathe out through nose while humming like a bee. Duration : 5 to 15 times

Don't Give it to Me	REST!

pyroguy90x	Advil + tequila = no headache....until the next morning

Sparkle21	Boil Peppermint sticks. My mom and I both suffer from them- you get Peppermint sticks and boil them- Start sniffing! Coffee also helps. Sorry! I know how you feel!

Heather	Try some sleep or some food. It could be from the lack of either. Good luck!!

da.wezal	I have heard that you can eat bananas because sometimes migraines are caused by lack of Potassium and bananas are high in it..

vAFLIP	take a warm bubble bath.

randy m	the only thing that helps is closing ur eyes in a dark room.

Kelly A	Ok this might sound silly but my friend used to sit in a hot bath and sip whiskey. She said it worked. Hope you find relief!

Obamaverick	Drinking lots of water can sometimes help

Kailbean	I have had migrains since i was 3, i recently went to china town in the city and found this tea that seriously cures your migrain in like 5 min. its called headache tea, sold only in china town tho, im sure you could find it on the internet to. its the best stuff i have ever purchased.

slickmickeygal	the only thing that has ever worked for me is excedrine migraine. its OTC. you can only take 2 in 24 hours. i usually take one, then if it hasnt gone away in an hour i take the other, but it will knock me out. other than that, just water, no light, no noise and sleep help me. some people say a little cola will help, others say cheese. sorry hun, i know they suck and to the person who suggested weed, i'm an avid pot smoker. it doesnt help. it MIGHT help lessen it if you smoke before its hit migraine status, but if its already that bad, it will not help. i've tried. a few times. and just ended up puking my brains out, or curled up in the fetal position cryng (which doesnt help)

kevin g	Try some CANIBUS it will make them disapear !!!

N S	The caffeine in coffee is said to greatly reduce the pain of migraines. Good luck, sorry you're not feeling well.

Dr. A	Head On. Apply directly to the forehead.
