A Few Migraine Headache Home Remedies

By Porter Smith

When you get a migraine it is not always necessary for you to get some over the counter drug in order to get rid of it. It is possible to cure or at least lessen migraines by using certain home remedies. Here are a few options for migraine headache home remedies.

One good option for you to try is a homemade ice wrap. You should wet a towel under cool water and then wring it out lightly to make sure that it isn't dripping. You should then fold it so that it is able to be placed in the freezer. You should leave it for about five minutes until the towel is starting to stiffen, then remove it and refold it keeping the wettest parts on the outside. When the towel is reasonably frozen you can place it on the forehead and eyes.

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.

A final remedy to consider would involve the use of an aid. Simply sit in a darkened and very quiet room and have your aid massage your head for at least ten minutes, making sure to avoid the temples. This can also be done over a wet towel for added relief and should sort the problem out.

These are just a few tips on home remedies for migraines.
