Treating Migraine naturally: Migraine treatment without painkillers
Treating Migraine is difficult but not impossible. Majority of Migraine patients that we see at our headache clinic in Delhi NCR have been on pain killers for years. Pain killers aren’t a permanent solution to Migraine. Every migraine patient at Migraine Upkram clinic in Faridabad has the same story. In initial days of headache, one painkiller would work. It stopped working after some time. Now the headache patient is dependent on a stronger medicine. The dosage of the pain killers keeps increasing. The body is smart enough to learn to rebound the pain mechanism system.
Do natural solutions work for Migraine?
A migraine patient keeps exploring over internet some natural ways to treat headache. The migraine patient has been fed up of popping painkillers. He/she keeps looking for simple hacks to treat migraine. These days a simple hack is doing rounds over social media, to dip legs in warm and cold water. These hacks are just temporary. For a while they may make you feel relaxed but it doesn’t treat you internally.
Applying cold and warm compresses to your head can bring down the headache. Compresses can increase blood circulation, reduce inflammation, slow the pain signals travelling along the nerves. But doing this does not ensure that you will not get a second headache after this. You cannot treat complex headaches with simple remedies. You need ayurvedic medicines for migraine.
What makes Migraine Upkram clinic, the best clinic for headache treatment?
At Migraine Upkram, we treat all sorts of chronic headaches or migraine with ayurvedic treatment. These medicines are natural and completely safe to use. Even chronic migraine patients start responding to the treatment within first three months. The frequency and intensity of the headaches start reducing.
We also keep a track of migraine attacks with a migraine tracker. Migraine tracker is simple to use and patient in an interesting manner can keep a record of headaches. This also in a way helps to identify the triggers. For example, when at our headache clinic, we ask female patients does the headache increase before menstrual cycle, they find it difficult to recall. If they had marked the days of headache on the tracker, we can see if it coincides with menstrual cycle.
A detailed Prakriti analysis is done of the patient with migraine. One size does not fit all is our approach. For example, there are cases when patient has sinus headaches. Sinusitis and migraine go hand in hand. If the prakriti is Kapha in this case of the patient, we need to give Kapha balancing medicines like Sitopladi, Tribhuvan Kirti ras, laxmi vilas ras, pippali, marich, sonth etc. If the prakriti of patient is Pitta, and headaches are due to increased Pitta, a different treatment protocol is decided. Here we use Pitta reducing medicines like Brahmi, Shatavari, Praval pishti.
Should you be dependent on pain killers for migraine treatment?
The answer is a big No
