5. Herbal Tricks
Herbs really are a wonder of natural health, and you’d be surprised to find out that many over-the-counter medications originally have some type of base in a herb: Just one example of this is willow bark, from which we get paracetamol – yes, it’s a completely natural compound.
There are many herbal tricks that can do many things – but for migraines, you’re looking for a cocktail that’ll relax your muscles and kick the headache. Most people report that lavender works best – and they swear by adding a couple of drops to their bath or diluting some essential oil for a massage.
You can even sew lavender into a pouch and keep this under your pillow for if and when that headache hits.
On the other end of the spectrum, there are some herbs that might trigger your headache instead of helping it – and mint is among these if you happen to have a heart condition. Ironically, this can also go together with an extreme craving for peppermint – so note this to your doctor if it has been happening to you.
