When you feel that a migraine is about to strike you down you will most commonly try to get hold of some sort of drug from your pharmacy that will help to get rid of the problem. However, there are some migraine headache home remedies to consider in order to allow you to lessen the problem or get rid of it altogether.
The first thing to try is an ice pack. You are able to buy these but its equally easy to make one yourself at home. Simply get your hands on a towel and wet it lightly with cold water. Then fold it suitable and place it into the freezer until it stiffens up. After this remove it and refold it so that you can place it back into the freezer with any remaining wet patches exposed. When it has fully frozen and stiffened up you pick it up and place it onto the head and eyes.
Another good idea is to get more salt into your diet. If you feel that a migraine is coming on then make sure that you eat certain snacks that are high in salt.
Sometimes this will prevent the migraine from coming but sometimes it won't. In any case it will allow you to make any other preparations such as the frozen towel.
Another treatment you might consider will involve the help of someone else. You should simply sit in a darkened silent room and have someone massage your scalp and the head but avoiding the temples. You might also think about this massage over a wet towel placed on the head. After ten minutes of this you should begin to feel better. If not, move onto something else.
