Nautral Migraine Prevention & Relief

Have you had the experience of trying to prevent or eliminate a migraine headache with something that worked once but not again? It is not uncommon. The prevention or relief of a migraine often depends upon when you start treatment.

A drug will sometimes eliminate the migraine at one time but can make things worse at another time. Why is this so? Migraines are extremely complex, manifesting many different symptoms through the whole cycle of the vicious migraine malady.

The reason for this inconsistency is because the process involves a blood vessel spasm in the head and then a reversal of that spasm; this then causes leakage through the blood vessels. This opening of the blood vessels allows irritants to "leak" out and cause inflammation. This kind of inflammatory pain needs a different treatment than that for the spasm pain of the blood vessels.

The whole process is compounded by the body's reaction to the foregoing. There is a disruption of not only the nerves but also the hormones of the body...which interact and effect each other. Many hormones are involved which disrupt each other. Drugs can also have other undesirable effects. (upset digestion, rebound effect, nausea, intolerance, etc.)

The key is prevention, or use of a natural remedy which prevents the headache in the first place.

Supplements which are kind and compatible to body provide the raw material to allow harmony in the body. The body finds what it needs for the disruption.

Natural migraine prevention and relief is superior than trying to force the body with drugs. ...Denis Van Loan D.D.S. My website @ http://www.migraineheadache-relief.com has more comprehensive information on this subject.

Menstruation Can Trigger Migraines

Many people, especially women, are mystified as to why hormone changes appear to trigger migraine headache attacks. Statistically women have 3 times as many migraine headaches as men. A frequent time of headache attack is during menstruation or immediately before. Most women figure out that it has something to do with hormone changes. They are correct.

A recent study in Australia found out, through genome research, that indeed people with certain genetic aberrations are more susceptible to migraine headaches. Research at Harvard University in the United States further confirmed that hormone receptor sites are the culprit.

According to the research done in Australia as many as 3 different genes make people susceptible to migraine headaches. Hormone therapy is tricky business, because when you change one hormone, you upset the balance of many other hormones in the body.

Menstrual and migraines go hand in hand for someone pre-disposed by genetics to migraines.

Just taking pain medications can produce a rebound effect whereby the headache condition is not helped but made worse. At some point in the cycle the pain can be relieved but it can also be exacerbated and made worse with the pain medication. Prevention is the key.

What then is the answer? The answer is to help the body deal with the aberrations by natural supplements. By furnishing the raw materials that the body needs it can handle the deficiencies and get relief from migraine headache pain and exaggerated sensitivity to sight, light, sounds and smells.
