Migraines are severe and often debilitating headaches that men and women today are beginning to experience more and more due to elements of their lifestyle or health. These extreme headaches can be accompanied by nausea, blurred vision and other symptoms that can leave you unable to function until these symptoms are relieved. The statistics show that the increase of migraines has gone up by 50% in the last 20 years. Research in the past has led us to believe that a migraine is the result of a vascular dilation or contraction, but more recent research is finding more and more evidence leading towards a malfunctioning nervous system.

Researchers believe that stimulation of the trigeminal nerve causes the trigger of gene-related substances to be released and induce inflammation. This process also sends messages to the pain receptors in the meninges. This is how we begin to feel the extreme pain and pressure a migraine can create. For many people, migraines may not be something they are worried about, but for just as many other people, migraines have become a part of their life. Some men and women experience a migraine up to several times a week and if this is the case, it is time to do something about it...naturally of course.

Women are found to experience far more migraines then men and the reason behind this may be the fluctuations of hormones that women are constantly experiencing. Migraines appear most commonly within men and women between the ages of 20-35 years old and luckily they begin to decrease with age. Although, with this being stated it is not uncommon for elderly and children to experience the occasional migraine as well because there are many different features that can trigger migraines. Some of these triggers include allergies, stress, constipation, liver malfunction, too little or too much sleep, emotional or hormonal changes, lack of exercise and even flashing lights. Let’s go through the different natural treatments that are available to you.
