Migraines

[Guest guest]

I have suffered from skull-crushing migraines for 15 1/2 years (or ever

since my last one was born). In my case, it is a hormonal thing.

Once I started taking herbs for menopause, I noticed the severity of the

symptoms lessen a great deal. (I don't get the wavy lights/lines, I have

such pressure in my head I have to sleep for three days). I am still

fiddling around with what helps me deal with menopause and the hormonal

imbalance, but I will tell you what helps me thus far.

Every morning I take:

Primrose oil (1500 mg)

Red Raspberry

Alfalfa

Red Clover

Wild Yam

Black Cohosh

Royal Jelly (1,000 mg. Don't start that high; I've been taking

it for over twenty years.)

Cayenne/Garlic

I will add Sarsaparilla to this combination as a primary application

of this is for hormone imbalance.

At the VERY ONSET of a migraine, I take Feverfew, Valerian, and White

Willow. Then I brew some very strong tea of catnip, red raspberry,

and peppermint. If it goes to the next stage, I rub peppermint oil

on the base of my neck. All of these things have served to lessen

the severity of my migraines. And I mean to tell you, I get them

so bad I've thought shooting my head off would be less painful!
