Migraine Headache Treatment

According to research done by the American Migraine Prevalence and Prevention Study, approximately 30 million people suffer from debilitating migraines.

If this is a health issue that has brought you to this webpage, I think I can help. Notwithstanding that, the study found that a large majority reported their lives are still impacted significantly by the pain and normal disability that is associated with migraine headaches.

Continuing, there are less than half of those accurately diagnosed with the migraine headache condition.

According to researchers, migraine headaches occur mostly between the ages of 30 and 49. That is not set in stone, however. Some don't get migraines like my mother until they're in the 60s.

Many opt for drug therapy, which is totally understandable. From what I've seen, drugs can "kind of" help. What I mean by that is the relief they provide seems to be temporary at best. They don't seem to be cures. Drugs are also very expensive.

I'm not saying they can't be effective. For some they may do so. However, that said, I think it's fair to say that there are those who have a growing awareness of that point now.

Migraine relief is possible with medicinal herbs. I've been studying medicinal herbs for years and while I freely admit I'm not an herbalist or a naturopathic doctor or a doctor for that matter, I have learned a few things to take care of my own health.

I don't proclaim to understand the pathophysiology nuances nor the epidemiology of migraine headaches either. That said, I also don't understand completely how my car works, my computer or how my my nice, new big-screen TV either.

As mentioned, I've had a deep interest in herbs for a long time as I saw first hand, with my own eyes, some pretty miraculous things regarding their efficacy.

That interest has led me to learn of an unknown herbal migraine headache cure that was recommended by naturopathic doctor and eminent master herbalist Dr. John R. Christopher, the preeminent Thomsonian herbalist of the 20th century.

The following information should help you, if you have an open mind and it's inexpensive. A lot less expensive than drugs and without the nasty side effects of pharmaceutical drugs that are very common, unfortunately.

Migraine Headache Treatment Cure

If you do decide to try this herbal migraine cure formula, follow its directions exactly. It wouldn't hurt to talk to a local doctor.

Here's the formula for migraine relief:

Migraine Headache Cure Formula

• 1 teaspoonful of Wormwood herb (Artemisia Absinthium); Please adhere strictly to this amount. One teaspoonful is enough. More is not better in this case (see Potential Side Effects point #7 below
• 1 teaspoonful of Culver's root (Leptandra virginica)
• 1/4 teaspoonful Cayenne Pepper (Capsicum minimum or Capsicum fastigiatum or Capsicum annum)

Preparation Info:

• Steam the Wormwood and Culver's root herbs for 20 minutes in 1 pint of hot, boiling water; cover pan w/ a lid
• Strain it in a large glass or bottle and stir in the cayenne pepper
• Bottle it and put it in a cool place

Dosage Amount to Drink:

Drink approximately 1 small wineglass full and no more. One wineglassful is the maximum you should take.

Potential Side Effects

• Wormwood shouldn't be consumed by woman who are pregnant because it could cause a miscarriage
• Wormwood may also cause irritation of the gastrointestinal tract and stomach 
• Wormwood should be taken in moderation at a minimum if you have intestinal or stomach ulcers. If you have a severe ulcer or are prone to stomach ulcers, you shouldn't take it perhaps at all. See your doctor. Scale it back so you're just taking a little
• If you drink too much, it could incite a bowel movement. Regulate the amount you drink to suit your bowels.
• I should again warn you that this three-herb concoction is a very bitter tasting concoction
• Avoid preparations sold as Wormwood Oil. You want the foliage or leaves to prepare the tea. Nothing else
• Wormwood oil can be dangerous if taken in a quantity large enough to produce psychoactive effects. Wormwood oil should not be taken internally in quantities larger than that which is recommended -- an absolute maximum of 1 teaspoonful is what should be used for the preparation. Once it's prepared, mixed and strained, then drinking a small wineglass is okay. You probably won't want to take more than that anyway as the taste is very bitter. It is one of the most bitterest herbs in the plant kingdom along with rue
• Wormwood can increase your appetite

Tips

This is simple but when drinking it, hold your breath. Why? Because that will help as your tastebuds are deactivated when you hold your breath. Try it you'll see.

This drink does't look weird either. It's not chunky either. It looks like an herbal tea. Nothing more, nothing less. It's the taste that is literally distasteful.

Some take it with a teaspoon or tablespoon full of honey. I suggest taking it as is -- at least at first. Once this migraine headache cure starts eliminating your migraine, then you can experiment with adding bee's honey. Of course, if you are allergic to bee stings or bees, don't include honey.

A side effect that is very positive is that wormwood and Culver's root are vermicides -- substances used to kill parasitic intestinal worms and parasites in general.

In fact, this wormwood herb of itself is a very potent insecticide. Bugs hate wormwood and Culver's root but especially wormwood! Don't believe me? According to Dr. Oz, 90% of human beings carry around intestinal parasites!

Disclaimer

Before I give you this virtually unknown herbal combination that actually relieves migraine suffers from the pain of migraine headaches, I want to discuss something that's very important for you to know.

I have been studying medicinal herbs and alternative health material for many, many years. Still, I am not a doctor nor do I position myself as such nor am I doing so now. I am not dispensing medical advice in this website for to do so is against the law. I've never done that and I never will. I live by the law. This site is educational in nature. Period.

Its purpose is to educate you, to help you, to point out alternatives out there in your quest for a migraine relief. Medical science is a great gift but they don't have all the answers.

Many cures of diseases are found in herbs, plants and herbal spices. That said,...

you should definitely talk to your doctor about your migraines and the herbs recommended. I recommend that strongly. If, my friend, you have an open mind, the information here is an herbal cure that is a migraine headache cure you should know about.

Where to Find The Migraine Relief Herbs

• Wormwood -- www.everyherbal.com/wormwood.htm -- Buy the "seeds and foliage option". You want the actual herb. If this site is unsatisfactory to you, do a Google or Bing search on this term "Buy Artemisia Absinthium" and it should produce a goodly number of companies that sell it
• Culver's root or Black Root -- www.PennHerb.com -- Phone number is 215-637-HERB (4372); specifically, you can see it here: http://www.pennherb.com/cgi-bin/herbstore.cgi/go?;14165. The term "Black Root" is another term for Culver's root. Among the names of Culver's root are Black Root and Tall Speedwell. That can be confusing, which is why I included the Latin names
• Cayenne Pepper -- you can buy it locally, even at your local grocery store but I don't recommend that as it's not as fresh and is not the best cayenne. I recommend a local health food store. Look for cayenne a minimum in the 30,000 Scoville Heat Units range. 30,000 to 50,000 will be sufficient. Cayenne is great for you but it is hot. (For more info on Cayenne Pepper, please visit my site at CayennePepper.info.

I hope you found this info useful.
