Unless someone has suffered a migraine attack, it is impossible to understand how painful and debilitating the pain can be. There have been many OTC medications commonly prescribed with varying degrees of effectiveness. Sadly, these medications also come with their fair share of side effects. Ihealthnet.org, a website that advocates healthy living discusses a wide range of alternative migraine treatments and their effectiveness.
The site explains in detail about the role of acupuncture in controlling migraines and also discusses the effectiveness of herbal supplements like butterbur and feverfew. It also discusses the role of vitamins and minerals such as riboflavin, magnesium, nicotinic, coenzyme Q10, etc. in controlling migraine headaches.
Every treatment option is explained clearly, explaining the benefits and the possible side effects. It also clearly explains about the right time to start treatment. For instance, there are many who know that the leaves of Feverfew plants are an effective cure. But not many understand that it is not recommended as an initial option for those seeking relief for the first time.
The site also aims to help people understand this problem by offering as much information as possible; including sharing information on the triggers that causes an attack, and also suggest ways to avoid them as much as possible.
"Common medications for migraines can make people feel stoned and sleepy. Life can become a living hell for those who're forced to carry on with their routine tasks; it's almost akin to forcing yourself to stay awake after gulping down a whole bottle of wine," says Dr. Adam Scott, a fulltime medical writer for IHealthnet.org. "Rather than depending on western medicines, it doesn't hurt to give alternative medicines a chance to help you," he adds. Dr. Scott regularly provides health tips to help people overcome their medical problems.
An estimated 29.5 million people in the United States suffer from migraine headaches. An equal number of people are suffering silently because their migraines are often misdiagnosed as sinus headaches. Researchers even claim that more than 90 % of self diagnosed sinus headaches are in fact migraines.
