Those who get migraine attacks know that it is not the typical headache. Nausea and sensitivity to light are common symptoms. Instead of popping pills, ROSHANI DEVI shares tips that can reduce the severity and duration
Headaches are often underestimated but are one of the most common disorders of the nervous system. Some of the common symptoms are pulsating pain on one side of the head, nausea, light sensitivity and blurred vision. But before you try any of these home remedies, a visit to a doctor is a must to rule out any other problem.
What you eat plays an important part in migraine prevention. Avoid eating chocolates, bacon, processed foods and dairy products like buttermilk and dahi.
For some people, drinking a little coffee helps. But too much can cause a migraine.
Keep lavender oil handy. Inhaling the oil can help bring relief faster. One can apply diluted oil to the temples as well.
Reach out for ginger; it helps ease nausea. Ginger powder decreases severity and duration. One can drink ginger tea as well.
Stress is a common trigger for migraines. Find an outlet for it; do meditation or yoga to prevent future attacks.
Use nutmeg. Make a paste with crushed nutmeg powder and water and massage this on the forehead. This helps relieve headache as it promotes sleep.
