Migraine Relief
Info
Migraine relief is something devoutly wished for by
migraine headache sufferers.
I totally understand. Migraine headaches are debilitating and
affect everything you're doing in your life.
Western medicine is a great blessing and has done much to
alleviate suffering in the world.
That said, I do not believe they have all the answers.
Many drugs are prescribed for migraines. Here are the ones that
I know of:
-
Acular
- Anaprox
- Axert
- Fioricet
-
Frova
- Imitrex
- Maxalt
-
Midrin
-
Orudis
-
Relpax
- Topamax
- Toradol
- Zomig
I'm most familiar with Topamax. It's made by Ortho-McNeil
Pharmaceutical as that is the one my mother used. Migraines are
pernicious health problems but drugs seem to be limited in their
benefits and they're certainly not a cure.
What are migraines? Perhaps some quick migraine facts would be
helpful.
Migraine headaches are a chronic, debilitating
health issue or condition that is often wrongly underdiagnosed and
undertreated.
It may surprise you that around 30 million Americans suffer from
migraines (figures from the UK or Canada, I'm not sure about).
Continuuing, there are less than half of those accurately
diagnosed with the migraine headache condition. According to
researchers, migraine headaches occur mostly between the ages of 30
and 49. There are those who suffer from them earlier and later,
though.
According to a recent analysis in a review conducted by the
American Migraine Prevalence and Prevention Study, they discovered
that almost an astonishing 98 percent of people with frequent
migraines take prescribed medication drugs.
Notwithstanding that, the study found that a large majority
reported their lives are still impacted significantly by the pain
and normal disability that is associated with migraine
headaches.
That's not the only revealing point from this
study. The study also found that somewhere around 40 percent of
frequent migraine headache sufferers could substantially benefit
from basic preventive therapy. Of that group, only 13 percent are
on a migraine preventive medication.
From what I've seen, drugs can be hit and miss. Plus they are
expensive. I'm not saying they can't be effective. But many are
questioning their effectiveness now.
I know of an herbal migraine headache cure. Migraine relief is
possible with medicinal herbs. The following information should
help you.
Migraine Relief: Migraine Headaches Natural Cure
Okay, here it is. If you do decide to try this herbal migraine
cure formula, follow its directions exactly. It wouldn't hurt to
talk to a local herbalist and certainly it wouldn't hurt to talk to
your doctor, something that is recommended.
Enough preamble. Here's the formula for migraine relief:
Migraine Headache Cure Formula
- 1 teaspoonful of Wormwood herb (Artemisia Absinthium);
Please adhere strictly to this amount. One teaspoonful is enough.
More is not better in this case (see Potential Side Effects point
#7 below
- 1 teaspoonful of Culver's root (Leptandra
virginica)
- 1/4 teaspoonful Cayenne Pepper (Capsicum minimum or
Capsicum fastigiatum or Capsicum annum)
Preparation Info:
- Steam the Wormwood and Culver's root herbs for 20 minutes in 1
pint of hot, boiling water; cover pan w/ a lid
- Strain it in a large glass or bottle and stir in the cayenne
pepper
- Bottle it and put it in a cool place
Dosage Amount to Drink:
Drink approximately 1 wineglass full and no more.
One
wineglassful is the maximum you should take.
Potential Side Effects
- Wormwood shouldn't be consumed by woman who are pregnant
because it could cause a miscarriage
- Wormwood may also cause irritation of the gastrointestinal
tract and stomach
- Wormwood should be taken in moderation at a minimum if you have
intestinal or stomach ulcers. If you have a severe ulcer or are
prone to stomach ulcers, you shouldn't take it perhaps at all. See
your doctor. Scale it back so you're just taking a little
- If you drink too much, it could incite a bowel movement.
Regulate the amount you drink to suit your bowels.
- I should again warn you that this three-herb concoction is
a very bitter tasting
concoction
- Avoid preparations sold as Wormwood Oil. You want the
foliage or leaves to prepare the tea. Nothing else
- Wormwood
oil can be dangerous if taken in a quantity large enough to produce
psychoactive effects. Wormwood oil should not be
taken internally in quantities larger than that which is
recommended -- an absolute maximum of 1 teaspoonful is what
should be used for the preparation. Once it's prepared, mixed
and strained, then drinking a small wineglass
is okay. You probably won't want to take more than that
anyway as the taste is very bitter. It is one of the most bitterest
herbs in the plant kingdom along with rue
- Wormwood can increase your appetite
Tips
When drinking it, hold your breath, that will help as your
tastebuds are deactivated when you hold your breath. Try it and
see. It does't look weird either and it's not chunky. It just looks
like an herbal tea when it's ready to be imbibed. It's the taste
that is distasteful.
Some take it with a teaspoon or tablespoon full of honey. I
suggest taking it as is -- at least at first. Once this migraine
headache cure starts eliminating your migraine, then you can
experiment with adding bee's honey. Of course, if you are allergic
to bee stings or bees, don't include honey.
A side effect that is very positive is that wormwood and
Culver's root are vermicides -- substances used to
kill parasitic intestinal worms and parasites in general. In
fact, this wormwood herb of itself is a
very
potent insecticide. Bugs hate wormwood! Don't believe me?
According to Dr. Oz, 90% of human beings carry around
intestinal parasites!
Disclaimer
Before I give you this virtually unknown herbal combination that
actually relieves migraine suffers from the pain of migraine
headaches, I want to discuss something that's very important for
you to understand.
I have been studying medicinal herbs and alternative health
material for many, many years. Still, I am not a
doctor nor do I position myself as such nor am I doing so now.
I am not dispensing medical advice in
this website for to do so is against the law.
I've never done that and I never will. I live
by the law. This
site is educational in nature. Period. Its purpose is to
educate you, to help you, to point out alternatives out there in
your quest for a migraine relief. Medical science is a great gift
but they don't have all the answers.
Many cures of diseases are found in herbs, plants and herbal
spices. That said,...
you should definitely talk to your doctor about your migraines
and the herbs recommended. I recommend that strongly. If, my
friend, you have an open mind, the information here is an herbal
cure that is a migraine headache cure you should know about.
Where to Find The Migraine Relief Herbs
- Wormwood
-- www.everyherbal.com/wormwood.htm --
Buy the "seeds and foliage option". You want the actual herb.
If this site is unsatisfactory to you, do a Google or Bing
search on this term "Buy Artemisia Absinthium" and
it should produce a goodly number of companies that sell
it
- Culver's
root or Black Root -- www.PennHerb.com -- Phone
number is 215-637-HERB (4372); specifically, you can see it
here: http://www.pennherb.com/cgi-bin/herbstore.cgi/go?;14165.
The term "Black Root" is another term for Culver's root.
Among the names of Culver's root are Black Root and Tall
Speedwell. That can be confusing, which is why I included the
Latin names
- Cayenne
Pepper -- you can buy it locally, even at your local grocery
store but I don't recommend that as it's not as fresh and is
not the best cayenne. I recommend a local health food store.
Look for cayenne a minimum in the 30,000 Scoville Heat Units
range. 30,000 to 50,000 will be sufficient. Cayenne is great
for you but it is hot. (For more info on Cayenne Pepper,
please visit my site on cayenne
pepper.
I hope you found this info useful.
Yours in
health,
