Under: Migraine & Headache, MigreLief-NOW

Home treatments for migraine include:

Home treatments include:

• Lie down in a quiet, dark room and relax. (Turn off the lights and close the shades.)  Light of any kind, especially bright light can aggravate a migraine.

• Use a cold or wet compress, (cool wet cloth or ice pack.)  (For DIY ice-packs, click here)

• Drink plenty of fluids as soon as possible, preferably water.

• Use over the counter safe, pain relief such as Advil or ibuprofen or take a nutritional supplement containing magnesium, feverfew, boswellia serrata and ginger, ingredients shown to beneficially support migraine sufferers.

• Sometimes massaging the scalp or back of the neck and shoulders can help relieve the pain.

• Avoid scents if you are sensitive to smells. However, aromatherapy may help for some migraine sufferers. Peppermint, spearmint, lavender, and rosemary essential oil roll-on applied to temples back of the neck or inside of the wrist may soothe and relax.

• Call your physician if you have any concerns
