dbgyog	Pl do simple acupressure given below. If pain persists you will have to go for Acupuncture. Alternate systems of medicine can only help you. There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for RA, OA, Back ache and almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic. Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES, Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy, BODY CONSTITUTION etc are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it. Acupuncture is the best treatment. I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see. Pain killers don't treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds. The useless drugs have tremendous power of side effects like liver/kidney failures, ulcer, inflammation of intestines and lot more. Avoid late sleeping if possible; worry, tension, spicy foods, sour fruits, stale bakery foods, SMOKING and alcohole. Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help if cough is not there. But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it is very strong. If it is acute pl search a painful point 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds. For forehead pain the points are in front of nails on the finger tips or 3-7 mm below. It may disappear naturally too.

420 Veggies	I have chronic migraines so trust me I have tried everything.There are prescription medicines to have like Topamax. The only over-the-counter medicine that works for me is "Excedrin Migraines" or the generic."Migraine with Caffeine" Caffeine is an amazing cure for headaches and migraines. It expands your blood vessels and provides the brain with more oxygen and blood flow. The major cause of headaches boils down to not having enough oxygen in the brain. Water is also an important thing to have to prevent headaches. Dehydration can cause swelling that the body "saves" in the brain. It is definitely not noticeable on the outside so many people do not know about this. I've been to doctors (I have two neurologists) and I do know what works and what doesn't. Of course there are triggers that people have that will cause a migraine but in the end there is a bottom reason for it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
