Yes, there are naturopathic based therapies/treatments for migraines. Ideally, for long term relief, the underlying imbalances and conditions such hormone imbalance, chronic stealth infections, toxicities, etc need to be identified and addressed for optimum outcome and long term relief from migraines. Please seek advice of a licensed naturopathic physician.
Yes, there are some natural remedies that you can try. One, make sure you are hydrated and drink lots of water. You can use essential oils like lavender topically to help relieve the headaches. You can try Magnesium, certain herbs also will help. It could also be related to food, watch what you are eating and see if a certain food brings it on.

Yes, there are several. It is important to treat the root cause and match the treatment for it. I highly recommend working with a licensed naturopathic doctor for this.

Hello! Ouch, migraines are no fun. Yes, there are several natural medicines out there for treatment. Often times, they include herbs like feverfew and extracts from cayenne, rosemary and more. Some even include key vitamins and minerals that can relieve pain or, if they’re low in your body may actual trigger migraines. Also, there are homeopathics that can be useful and treatments like acupuncture and Chinese herbs can also be very effective.
Yes migraine headaches can really affect your daily life. I find that acupuncture and homeopathic medicines can be both effective tools to help migraine headaches. Migraines headaches may be a symptom of estrogen dominance which could benefit from nutritional and botanical liver support if accompanied with menstrual symptoms such as PMS or irregular menstrual cycles. There are many options to discuss with your doctor.
Some people use the herb feverfew for migraines. My experience is delayed food allergies are usually the underlying cause of migraines. I identify the food and have patients totally avoid it, usually the migraines are gone. I also check for neck misalignment and see if there is jaw tension adding to these headaches.
