Migraine and alternative cure

The migraines are not just a headache, that can pass coming out in the fresh air, and perhaps taking a mild painkiller. O of migraine pain is unbearable and disturbs the whole body. Located on one side of the head-hence the term "migraine" - but can be dispersed throughout the head or alternating from one side of the head to another. 


On the lines below, you can learn about alternative methods of treating migraines. Remember, though, two things: first that an effective treatment is important to take a good history of the therapist who will ask, and secondly that alternative treatments are not magic! We need to help you avoid the situation as far as possible, everything that you know your triggers crises.

The "identity" of a migraine attackBefore the crisis, 25% of the cases presented, the aura, characterized by changes in the perception of light (eg, "floaters," "ASTRAKA"), muscle weakness and extreme changes of mood (eg depressed ).Pain of the head is throbbing (impulsive). Often accompanied by nausea, vomiting and worse from light, noise and odor.The factors that trigger a crisis is psychological, and physical stress (exposure to cold, the weather changes, fatigue and lack of sleep) and the empty stomach (due to hypoglycaemia). 


Moreover, a crisis triggers are certain foods (eg cheese, chocolate, alcohol), food intolerances, and some nutritional deficiencies (riboflavin, magnesium).The frequency of seizures varies-may occur once a month or a week, but in severe cases can occur even daily. A crisis usually lasts a few hours, but may be passed even after three days! Those who suffer from frequent seizures, usually present before another type headache, tension headache (described as tightness in the head with severe pain in the neck), which triggers the mechanism of migraine.
