Does anyone have any natural remedies for migraines? I get vestibular ones which cause extreme dizziness with pain.

Home Remedies for Headache Treatment by Sarah Calabro
this does include migraines, btw.
"Not only does lavender smell great — it’s also a useful home remedy for headaches and migraine pain. Lavender oil can be either inhaled or applied topically. Two to four drops for every two to three cups of boiling water are recommended when inhaling lavender-oil vapors as a headache treatment. Unlike many medicinal oils, this home remedy can also be safely applied externally without the need to dilute it. Lavender oil should not be taken orally. "
Peppermint Oil - inhaled (I, personally have put it in an oil burner too)
5 / 9 Headache Home Remedy: Diet Fixes
One of the most useful home remedies for reducing headaches and migraine pain involves making changes to your diet. Certain foods have been shown to affect the frequency and severity of headaches and migraine pain, including dairy; chocolate; peanut butter; certain fruits, such as avocado, banana, and citrus; onions; meats with nitrates, such as bacon and hot dogs; foods containing monosodium glutamate (MSG); foods containing tyramine, an amino acid found in red wine; and foods that are fermented or pickled. Keep track of these trigger foods and your reaction to them with a food diary.
6 / 9 Headache Home Remedy: DIY Scalp Massage
Do-it-yourself scalp massages can be an effective way to alleviate migraine pain, and they feel great. Researchers in Brazil showed that massaging the greater occipital nerve — the area in the back of the head, at the base of the skull — reduces migraine pain. Massage in general has been identified as a useful home remedy for headaches, especially reflexology (massaging reflex points on the hands and feet).
7 / 9 Headache Home Remedy: Feverfew
Feverfew, as its name suggests, is used to treat fever, but it’s most commonly known as an herbal headache treatment. This home remedy became popular in the 1980s, when a landmark study in Great Britain showed that 70 percent of participants had less migraine pain after taking feverfew daily. Since then, more studies have demonstrated feverfew’s benefit in preventing and treating migraine pain. One study showed improvement in migraine pain among people who took daily feverfew in combination with white willow, another herbal home remedy, which contains properties similar to aspirin.
8 / 9 Headache Home Remedy: Flaxseed
Some headaches are caused by inflammation, which can be reduced by consuming omega-3 fatty acids. Flaxseed can help provide headache relief because it’s rich in omega-3s. Flaxseed can be used as a home remedy in several forms, including as an oil and ground or whole seeds.
9 / 9 Headache Home Remedy: Buckwheat
Buckwheat’s usefulness as a home remedy for headaches and migraine pain comes from a flavonoid known as rutin. Flavonoids are phytochemicals, which are found in plants, and have been shown to contain antioxidant properties, which counteract damage to cells. In addition, researchers in Taiwan have demonstrated the effects of flavonoids on inflammation, a common cause of headaches.

Thank you. I've tried some of these before but never heard of the peppermint or flaxseed. It will be on my list.

Thanks. I've tried tracking in the past. It's a hard thing to pinpoint. It's funny bc they tell you to avoid caffeine and yet migraine meds have caffeine in them. I pretty much get them daily to some degree so try to watch what I eat.

when using essential oils, make sure to check the quality. There are lot of knock off essential oils. A good natural food store can help with this and other options as well.

I wish I could smoke it but I have aneurysms. It works great for the fibro pain too
I just read today peppermint oil is good because it opens up sinuses which increases oxygen levels which alleviates the migraine pain .

It's very difficult to get it in nj legally. I know some states are a lot easier. It really is a great treatment and has many benefits.

I was just reading where lavender is good for migraines. I had a patient that was in a comatose state and his daughters used to rub his feet with it and put a handkerchief under his nose with that on it. He seemed comfortable but the smell was a little strong for me.

That was sweet of her. Lavender is supposed to be calming to the senses. I'm glad it seemed to help him. I agree it can be overpowering though.

I knew about tablet form but was unaware of vaporizer form.
