Natural cures for HEADACHES and Migraines.

To start you should know that I once suffered from migraines so badly that I was hospitalized with them more than once. I would get excruciating pain, dizziness, partial paralysis, and my speech would be affected. At first I thought I was having a stroke! If you suffer from migraines or headaches of any sort, then try the answers below. I tell you the God's honest truth when I say that since I started doing what I will show you below, I have not returned to the E.R. and have not had my life interrupted by migraines!

I shared my past with migraines so that you know that I know something about them. Unfortunately, many people who give advise (including many who post on the forum here) know little about this debilitating problem. I have heard people tell some one who suffers to : eat a peanut butter sandwich, have a banana and a glass of water, just shut of the t.v. and lights, and take an aspirin! Come on! This is a serious condition and one that requires attention, not a piece of fruit! Besides, what if the person has a serious ailment in their brain? I believe in home remedies but, only the ones that address the problem and actually work!

Here is what I do-

For a minor headache or a migraine in the early stages-

First, get to a dark place, and then drink some Mountain Dew as quickly as you can. Then, get into the practice of keeping some Excedrin Migraine with you. Have you done all of that and still suffered? Good! Because now you will learn the real trick of killing a serious migraine!

For a nasty headache or full blown migraine-

In Tia Chi class ( one that I was the fill in instructor for) I learned an ancient but effective treatment called acupressure. Here is how it works- Hold your left hand up and put all five fingers together. Then move your thumb off to the right, like you are making a capitol L. Then, taking your right hand, use your pointer finger and your thumb to find a tender muscle between the thumb and pointer on you left hand. See the second diagram. Once you find that sensitive muscle in the crotch of your left hand, start pinching it gently. Hold the pinch and move it in circles. Then switch hands and do the same thing with the other hand. Switch hands every 30 seconds or so. Breathe deep and close your eyes as you are doing this. If it does not work right away, keep at it, and try to meditate on a place in nature or the wilderness that you enjoy going to. Picture yourself being there and enjoying the sights, smells, and sunshine.Get into a zone and keep doing the acupressure! Simple, but effective!

Prevention- Now that you know how to cope with a headache once it hits you, here are some tips to prevent them.

1.Once a week, take a cold glass of water, pour an once of raw, undistilled vinegar into it, and drink it fast. Chase it with more water to keep the vinegar from sitting on the inside of your throat. 2. Slowly decrease but do not eliminate your sugar and caffeine intake. 3. If they keep reoccurring, hypnosis is a good option. I tried it and had great results. 4.Take an herb named fever few as directed. 5. Start drinking more cold, filtered water EVERY day! Try to drink no less than 6 glasses a day. This last tip is a big one!

NOTE-

*See a neurologist to be sure that your headaches are not caused by a life threatening illness, and I wish you the best of luck! Please tell me below how it worked.
