Remedies for Migraines
Stop Your Migraines!
We’re already a few days into the new year; I hope you had a migraine-free holiday and send my good wishes to you for the year ahead.
A new year is often time to recap and evaluate where we are in areas of our life that we want to improve. If you are now determined to make changes, you may find here a new approach for migraines treatment.
This is a quick summary of the main areas where complementary therapy, and especially a nutritional approach to migraine can help. I shall be covering each in blog posts over the next few months, but if you don’t want to wait, you can download my natural migraine relief ebook right away.
- Food intolerance is a major cause of migraine but you would be wrong to just think that chocolate, cheese and red wine cause the problems. For some people, migraines are triggered by foods commonly believed to be healthy.
- Maintaining a steady blood sugar level is vital is you want to stop migraines.
- A deficiency or imbalance of vitamins and minerals is important.
- So is avoiding toxic minerals.
- Hair Mineral Analysis is a simple and cost-effective way to get eliminate guess-work from choosing your supplements. It reports on nutrient as well as toxic minerals.
- Because your brain mainly consists of fatty material, check that you eat plenty of good fats, and avoid eating bad fats.
- Something as common as constipation can cause a problem if circulating toxins aren’t being eliminated quickly enough. Be sure to keep the correct balance of ‘good’ to ‘bad’ bacteria in your intestine. Check out this special offer for a free sample of a natural constipation remedy on my healthy eating blog. The offer has been extended. (It’s NOT a laxative!)
- Acid / alkaline imbalance should be watched. People often imagine that over-acidity is the problem and are surprised when their supplement recommendation includes hydrochloric acid! Learn why.
- Following on from under or over-acidity we must consider correct digestion and absorption of food, without which you will never obtain maximum benefit from your food, however well you eat.
- If stress is a migraine trigger for you but you can’t do anything to calm a stressful life-style, are you making the simple dietary adjustments that can lessen the impact of stress?
- Hormonal health is something else to consider, especially for women. Your liver works hard to remove old hormones, so must be kept in peak condition.
- Because there are non-dietary migraine triggers, remember that many other complementary therapies offer solutions.
- Are you taking too many over-the-counter painkillers? This could actually increase the number of headaches you experience. Check with your GP or pharmacist.
This quick summary shows some of the many different topics you can consider in your search for a drug-free approach to beating your migraines. Tackle them one by one and you should find relief.

Can detox cure migraines?
Migraine and detox
I recently met up with Sandy Halliday, a graduate from the same nutrition college as me. We obviously soon started discussing the different routes we’d taken since our course finished.
While I have specialized in migraine, Sandy’s research and practice has focused on detox diets.
But as we compared notes it became obvious that there was much common ground, as a detoxification diet can be a great tool in the fight against migraine. Here are a few reasons why:
- Many complementary therapists have related migraine to sluggish liver function, and the liver is the body’s main detoxification organ, so it needs to be functioning well.
- If your liver and other organs of elimination can’t cope with the toxins in our diet and environment, you will suffer!
- Years of unhealthy eating can lead to indigestion and a toxic colon.
- A toxic colon can, in turn, lead to poor absorption of nutrients such as magnesium, so often deficient in migraine sufferers.
- A good detox diet will exclude most of the common dietary migraine triggers, but will include nutrient rich foods, many of which are rich in magnesium, and which support the liver’s detoxification processes.
- The liver eliminates spent hormones, but if it cannot do this efficiently old hormones may build up, resulting in a hormone imbalance. Many migraines are “hormonal”.
While we may all be aware of the benefits of a detox diet, with our modern life-style and the practicalities of following a sensible detox plan, good intentions often fall by the wayside, and no migraine sufferer needs anything that will cause them extra stress.
So Sandy has designed a plan that combines being safe and nutritionally sound, with being enjoyable and one you’ll easily stick to – even with family meals to plan. Learn more by visiting Sandy’s detox site.
