I'm a migraine sufferer and unfortunately nothing works consistently.

 

The herb feverfew is said to help with migraines, if you take it on a

regular basis. (In other words, it doesn't work as a painkiller or

for when the attack is in progress.) I've never had any luck with it,

but the Wikipedia article on feverfew claims that there's some

positive research in favor of using the herb. Try it and see if it

works for you:

or if you have a Consumer Labs subscription, they have an even better

article:

Strangely enough, salt (about 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon at the onset of a

migraine) also helps a lot of people, including me. Caffeine taken at

the right time also helps.

 

Lately I've had good luck with caffeine + salt + 1200mg ibuprofen.

When that fails, I recommend the fetal position and a dark room, both

of which are vegan. :)
