    yanno the way ginger is good for an upset stomach, or water is usually good for a headache etc, does anyone have any little natural remedies for migraine?

    thanks x

    Feverfew is a herbal remedy for Migraine.

    I've used it, pick a few leaves crush them in your hands and breathe in the vapour.

    Peppermint oil might help - add a few drops to a carrier oil such as almond oil and massage a small amount into your forehead.

    Wont stop you getting one, but might help with the pain

    Camomile (feverfew) tea is good, but it won't completely clear a migrain on its own - for me anyway.

    Best solution is to find the trigger. For me it is chocolate, even quite a small amount. Now I do not eat chocolate at all, not even white chocolate. Also red wine and red grapes. With these completely removed from my diet I have not had a migraine in several years - apart from the one before I realised about the red grapes and ate quite a lot of them! Avoiding chocolate can be quite difficult, not because I want it, but because there is just so much of it around.
