Tagged As: Home Treatment For Migraine

Question:
I work with a lady whose daughter-in-law suffers from migraines...She told me that her daughter-in-law treats them in this manner....At the onset of a HA she rubs Ben-Gay INTO her scalp !!!!! , of course afterwards she has to wash her hair but she says it really works for her !!! I dont think that I would personally try this but thought I would post it anyway.... Anyone else have some different home treatments ???

Answer:
This may sound a little odd, but most home remedies are. If your migraine is on your right side, fill a large bowl with ice and water. Plunge your right elbow into very cold ice water, as cold as you can stand it for as long as you can tolerate it. This only gives about 15 minutes of relief, but sometimes that's long enough for me to get some meds into myself. I sometimes do this every hour. For all those women out there with hormonal headaches, this method can be helpful with PMS migraines.
