Migraines Can Disappear With Alternative Medicine


Migraine headaches have an increasing role in modern America. They occur more frequently as stress increases and people have less free time. Migraine headaches can resolve themselves, but most do not. Many migraines occur in generation after generation of a family. These migraines may be rooted in genetic defects which surface in hormone or neurotransmitter issues that may require long-term treatment. Diagnostic testing is needed to identify the main issue. Migraines can result from allergic reactions. There are some people with 30 or more food allergies and additional environmental allergies. Managing allergies may be key to solving your migraines. Some people find that keeping a food diary helps to identify their allergen triggers connected to migraines.

Mold, mildew, dust mites, mold in old carpets and draperies, tree flowers, tree pollen, air particulates, heavy metal toxins in food or water, contaminates in body washes and shampoos, high levels of chlorine, water contaminates, fluorescent lights, and mold in foods are all major triggers for migraines. Cleaning up your environment can require shower filters to remove chlorine, kitchen water filters, ionic air filter systems for the entire house or a single room, removing old carpet and drapes, hauling away extra debris that has mold or mildew in the garage, power washing the outside of the house, washing the mold from the patio or driveway, or moving.

The allergy component of migraines can be treated with NAET allergy treatments and diets designed to reduce allergies like the Rotation Diet or the Elimination Diet. Support groups may be helpful to some people suffering from migraines. These may be found online for free and can help inspire many successful recovery stories. Psychotherapy can help patients that suffer from high levels of stress. Yoga is a great stress reliever. Mild regular exercise is wonderful for reducing your headaches. Hydration is an extremely important part of avoiding migraines. Dehydration can cause a migraine. If you are a person that fails to drink enough water, try to stash extra bottles of water in your pantry or office. Never leave these bottles of water in the car when the weather is hot because the plastics can leach into the water. This can lead to cancer.

The alternative therapies that help prevent and treat migraines include Enermed which is a low frequency pulsed electromagnetic medical device. It requires several treatments and may be purchased for home use from a doctor's office. Another medical device which helps in many cases is the Alpha Stim-100. It is distributed by medical professionals and can be purchased for home use. It may be covered by insurance. This therapy must be done one or twice a week for good results and treatments may take twenty minutes or more. The device has a battery pack and allowing you to move around the house or office. Acupuncture, osteopathy, and chiropractic are good solutions for migraines caused by musculoskeletal problems.
