Q: I heard over-the-counter pain relievers can be harmful. What natural remedies are there for migraines?
JVW: To stop migraine headaches in their tracks a relatively rapid intravenous injection of magnesium and vitamin B6 may be all you need. For more information on obtaining this treatment, contact ACAM: (800)532-3688 or www.acam.org.
But there are ways to help prevent a migraine from occurring at all or at least lessen their frequency. It all begins with avoiding allergy triggers (if you don’t know what yours are, then get tested), preventing dips in your blood sugar by eating small, more frequent meals, and supplementing with 200 mg of magnesium citrate daily, 200 mg of vitamin B6 daily, 200 milligrams of vitamin B2 two to three times daily (backed up with a B-complex 50 twice daily), three feverfew capsules twice daily, and a hypoallergenic multiple vitamin-mineral.
You’ll find prevention is the key in migraine therapy.
