If you suffer from migraine headaches, then you know as well as anyone that as soon as you start feeling it, you want to get rid of it right then and there. You don’t want to have to go call a friend to take you to a general practitioner to prescribe you an effective migraine headache remedies, right? Preferably, you don’t want to develop a reliance on medicinal cures in the first place, lest you wind up becoming nearly immune to them and needing more and more to cure your migraine.
So, what you want is a natural, quick, fast acting treatment that you have access to at home. Here are a few remedies you can try and combine in order to try and get rid of a migraine fast.
Light Exercise
Ease into it very carefully. Don’t start with a mile run at full speed around the block. Rather, begin with some crunches or stretches, yoga perhaps. The essence is to simply get the blood flowing, get some energy going through your body so that you can refresh yourself and sort of flush the migraine out. If it works, keep going to it each time you feel a headache coming on.
Massage
If you have a partner, someone who lives with you and can perform you a massage when you need it, you may want to see about making a nice, deep massage a part of your daily routine, or at least a way to stave off headaches whenever they get started.
Temperature
Start with mild hots and colds. Just as with exercise, extremes can just make things worse. So when you feel a migraine coming on, then grab a towel, soak it in cool water and lay it across the back of your neck. Alternately, you an use a warm towel, fresh from the dryer or soaked with warm water. Sometimes this soothing feeling can stop a migraine dead in its tracks. Use your own instincts and figure out which temperature works for you, and to what degree.
