THE BEST TREATMENT FOR MIGRAINE
“Migraine” is a fancy name for a condition in which small triggers can precipitate severe headaches.
Medications can provide relief, but there is no medication which can cure migraine permanently. That is why the best strategy is to avoid things that cause migraine. These are called “Migraine Precipitants” or “Migraine Triggers”.
The list below includes common triggers. I encourage you to keep a DIARY.
ou can use the table on the reverse side. Each time you get a headache, write in detail what you did in the previous 24 hours – what you ate, how much you slept, whether you argued, what perfume you used, everything in great detail.
It is possible you may find a UNIQUE precipitant for your headaches – e.g. one doctor I know gets headaches after eating “besan” dal.
Avoiding these triggers is the best treatment for migraine.
Most important triggers, which affect all patients:
- Too much / Too little sleep (Sleep for 8 hours/day)
- Hunger (Eat properly, 4 /day. Don’t skip breakfast)
Very important triggers, which affect many patients:
- Stress (Do not shout. Control anxiety. Try Yoga.)
- Strong tastes (too spicy, too sour. Cheese|Chocolate|Chinese|Alcohol)
- Strong smells (too harsh e.g. Tar, Garbage or too sweet e.g. Perfume)
- Excessive sunlight, Excessive dust/pollution
- Long, winding roads
Infrequent triggers:
- Bathing with very hot or very cold water
- Tying hair too tightly
- Menses
Fermented foods e.g. pickles
