    Hi,

    I wanted to check with all the helpful people in this forum if there are any good remedies for Migraine that work. I have severe migraine issues, that lasts for 12-14 hours and I become totally inefficient and unable to do any work at home. Even a slight movement aggravates it. I know the triggers, extreme heat, cold, when i wash hair and don't dry it properly, eating cold items and also taking lemon juice.
    I end up taking advil or ibuprofen as tylenol is not helping me these days. I want to avoid taking the medication but have to since i cannot do anything at home once I get headache. I try to do steaming, applying ginger powder on the forehead, and also tying my head with heat pack. These worked in the past, but not anymore.

    Also, I was thinking about trying homeopathy to treat and avoid migraine, any feedback on this?

    Thanks

    My daughter has severe migraine issues. She is only 14. From the age of 6 she is having this. Till she vomits the headache doesn't go. We noted down the triggers. Ladies finger doesn't suit her. If she doesn't sleep well she gets migraine. And foods which are hard to digest gives her migraine. But for her lemon helps to an extent. Also apple in empty stomach helps. But lemon and apple helps only when we give it early on like when the headache starts slightly. If we ignore it then nothing helps other than vomiting. And vomit doesn't come that easily. She cries in pain when she gets migraine. I also read somewhere that regular eating of soaked almonds will help to keep the migraine at bay. Yet to try. I am going to watch this thread too for remedies.

    Try ice/hot pack at the back of your neck while Soaking your feet in hot/warm water.
    Get a nice shoulder massage.
    Some food triggers migraine,watch your food intake.
    Lights...bright white light hurts,(like staring at the monitor,phone)
    Sip warm water
    Fresh air

    These works for me

    Thank you stayblessed. Oh, i feel so bad, at such young age it is very hard for your daughter. My 12 year old gets headache too, but when she doesn't sleep well or not hydrated. Does you dd drink enough water? Please take care of her, i know it hurts badly and when it comes to children is it very hard for parents to seem them suffer. Sometimes i also feel it is hormonal too, it comes around that time of the month. Thanks for the tips about almonds and apples, will try it.

    Also about homeopathy, it didn't help my daughter it actually increased her frequencies. But I have heard ppl saying homeopathy has helped them. I think you have to try it to know if it suits you. My husband is taking homeopathy treatment for a different issue and it helped him to an extent. So it differs from.individual to individual.

    Thank you for the feedback on homeopathy, yeah cant say until we try, works for some. Another thing i noticed is, if i lie down it aggravates more, if i sit straight and quiet in a dark area, it is okay.

    Steaming ,cold pack on forehead and immediately taking hot shower with hot water falling behind my neck for some time helps me...But you need to immediately take hot bath after applying cold pack on forehead . After bath I drink ginger tea...I am out of any pain killers after started following this method..
