Most Americans suffering from migraine headache attacks have been praying for a cure for years. Sometimes it begins to take hold as an inexplicable drowsiness, fever and slight temple tension. Before the afflicted realizes, they're in bed with nausea and numbness, unable to do anything other than pop a few pain relievers and wait for the incapacitating pain to subside.

Recent research suggests that most people who get migraines more than once a week, for weeks at a time and are taking over the counter medicines actually increase the risk of the headache's imminent return. Instead, cold washcloths, exercise, herbal supplements and more natural remedies may be the cure.

Traditional Chinese medicine has been around for nearly 5,000 years, offering natural remedies for migraine sufferers. Things like Chinese acupuncture, Chinese massage and herbal supplements can be much more enjoyable than popping an Excedrin or simply waiting it out. It's often hard to pinpoint exactly what causes a migraine because it varies from individual to individual.

The basic idea, many Chinese doctors say, is that your body's telling you something is blocking your natural homeostasis. Ideally, rectifying this requires a combination of procedures, environmental shifts and a little bit of philosophical meandering.

Chinese Massage is one of the natural remedies used to treat a migraine headache. It's not such a bad idea to book an appointment on your lunch hour to run out and have a calming, rejuvenating massage that will help ease your headache and get you through the rest of the day. Rather than a clinic, look for a well-respected spa environment that offers Chinese massages for the best results.

Upon entering the spa, you'll realize that it's more of a spiritual experience than a medical procedure. Calming instrumental music plays, incense and essential oils fill your nostrils and you're invited to put on a robe and sandals, and enjoy a cup of tea before you begin. Lying on the table, you will feel all of your cares and head tension melt away and you'll leave floating on a cloud, glad you made the trip, rather than popping one or more pain relievers.

The aisles are littered with over the counter medicines and pain relievers offering superficial migraine headache relief. However, you shouldn't be a slave to these high-priced chemicals.

Doctors from the school of Chinese medicine indicate that your head pain comes from an imbalance between your body and your external environment. If you've struggled with many different treatments over the years, alternative therapies like Chinese acupuncture or herbal supplements are recommended. You just might be surprised!
