A migraine is a headache that can result in severe pain, usually one one side of the head.
This pain can be so severe that it induces nausea, impacts vision, and causes extreme sensitivity to light and sound.
If your migraines are chronic and recurring, you know exactly how debilitating they can be.
Today, we’re sharing the facts about migraine headaches – what causes them, what you can do to avoid them, and what natural alternatives you can use to relieve the pain when it strikes.
A couple days before a migraine, you may notice subtle warning signs, including wide mood swings, food cravings, stiffness in the neck, fluid retention, frequent yawning, constipation, and increased urination.
A warning sign of a migraine is what’s called an “aura.” It can include disruption in vision, like flashes of light or blind/blurry spots. You may also feel a tingling on one side of the face or have difficulty gathering your thoughts.
This is when your symptoms are most severe. Migraines can last from 4 to 72 hours. You’ll feel pain on one or both sides of the head or both sides, sensitivity to light and sound, and even nausea and vomiting.
After a migraine attack, you may feel physically and mentally drained and fatigued for up to 24 hours and need to rest. If you move or stand up too quickly, it could briefly trigger a return of the migraine pain.
IT’S EASY TO GET STUCK IN OLD WAYS OF LIVING. IT’S TIME TO MAKE ROOM FOR THE NEW WAYS OF HEALING.

Migraines can often be triggered by loud sounds and bright lights. Some well-known triggers are driving at night, being in movie theaters, or walking in sunlight without sunglasses. You should also wear blue light glasses when you have to stare at a computer screen.
Certain foods and drinks may trigger these headaches, like processed meats, chocolate, artificial sweeteners, alcohol, and cheese. Learn what foods and additives trigger your migraines and limit your intake – or avoid these foods altogether.
One of the best ways to avoid future occurrences is to avoid them in the first place. When you start noticing signs and symptoms of a migraine, start taking notes of what you ate, what your environment looks like, and how much sleep you’ve been getting.
The most common recommendations for migraine relief are NSAID pain relievers, but these medications can have harmful side effects. Try using a natural alternative, like PEA, to relieve the pain without harsh chemicals.

Conventional medicine often overlooks holistic, long-term lifestyle changes in favor of prescribing heavy pharmaceuticals, recommending harsh and invasive treatments like surgeries, and more in an attempt to stop pain or disease as it occurs.
