How can I use Alternative medicine to help with Migraines?
By
Question: I have horrible migraines. I have taken every type of presription medicine possible- none have worked. Usually when I get a headache, we resort to using steroids (which I hate). Is there any way I can use alternative medicine to help prevent or ease the pain of a migraine?

I was told by my chiroprator that Fever Few is a good herbal supplement for Migraines. Also have you had a MRI? Is there are reason you are getting them? Do you have TMJ? There has been a lot of research done on the relationship between the two. I am going in for a MRI Wed. thats why I ask. Mine are very bad. I get one about once a week. Take care.

Source Naturals brand migraine blocker works pretty well for me. I also recommend going to an acupuncturist. Some insurance companies will cover the costs, too. Good luck, I get them too so I know how you feel…

If you want the best guidance see a liscensed naturopath,or holistic M.D who can sort out any underlying conditions,and help guide you in the best directions.Feverfew is great but its just a bandaid treatment until you address the underlying problem such as diet,stress,and nutritional defficiency.

Visit a doctor. Alternative medicine includes also acupuncture and other non medicinal treatments.
You are talking about steroids. If they are effective to you, then maybe there is an inflammation active.
Sometimes also a food supplement with vit.B complex ang magnesium can be helpful (but not enough for”horrible” migraines).
