Treatments For Migraine Headaches: Botox,Dietary Restriction December 3, 2007
Posted by Health Mama in : Alternative Therapy / Treatments , trackbackMigraine is a form of headache which is severe and usually one sided, frequently associated with nausea and vomiting. Migraine headaches typically last from 4-72 hours and vary in frequency from daily to fewer than 1 per year.Migraines are due to changes in the brain and surrounding blood vessels.
According to research, migraine is three times more common in women than in men. Migraine headaches often have a trigger, such as changes in the hormonal cycle (in women and girls), foods, odors, noises, lights, fatigue, stress, or physical exertion.
Migraines can be complicated by other symptoms, such numbness or paralysis on one side of the body, severe pain at the back of the head accompanied by weakness and loss of coordination, noticeable confusion and lethargy, and severe eye pain with eye muscle paralysis.
Although dietary restriction isn’?t considered a treatment for migraine, identifying any foods that have triggered symptoms and avoiding those foods may help some people prevent migraine attacks.
Some opt for a range of traditional and proven alternative therapies to achieve and maintain relief without the need for conventional medications.
Natural treatments are usually harmless, as opposed to drugs,which usually have side effects (though note that natural treatments are not always harmless). Some people may need to use several treatments at the same time.
