Migraine Cures from a Chronic Headache Suffer

Migraines can put a damper on any day.  The sudden onset of a migraine headache always puts me in a bad mood.  Having suffered with this pain for years I have found several migraine cures that work.  I want to share them with you because I know how bad they can be and I want you to find the same relief I have found.

I am only going to discuss natural cures for migraines as I always try to stay away from pharmaceuticals as much as possible. I just don’t like putting things into my body that I don’t know what side effects they might have. My best tip cost me thousands of dollars, but I have found relief making every penny worth it. Several years ago I was traveling for work and got a horrible migraine during my flight. When I got to the hotel I was really short with the lady at the hotel front desk. After I had finished checking in, I felt bad so I explained about my throbbing head. She suggested that I take a soak in the hotel’s hot tub. Willing to try anything to get the pain to go away, I got into the hot tub and within a few minutes the throbbing had stopped. It wasn’t too long after I got home, my wife and I bought a Hot Springs Spa.  I have used it many times to cure a migraine, a backache or to melt away stress. Stress is a big migraine trigger, so the soaks have an effect of also lower the number of migraines I get.  Not everyone has access to a hot tub, so a good soak in a warm bath has many of the same benefits.

Niacin, also known as B3, has been touted as a migraine cure. The best way to get it is to eat the right kinds of foods. Some great sources of niacin are fish (tuna, salmon), chicken, milk, eggs, and worst of all liver. For the vegetarians tomatoes, broccoli, carrots, sweet potatoes, and worst of all asparagus are good sources of niacin. Given your tastes, try to eat some of these foods when you get a migraine, just don’t try to eat a tomato like an apple. It’s really messy.
