Read About Depression Medications and also read about Menstrual Migraine and Migraine and pregnancy
Menstrual migraines are a part of many women's monthly menstruation cycle that causes pain and suffering. Menstruation is a natural phenomenon of changing hormones and emotions that occur cyclically for women who reach menarche in their youth and ends when women enter their later years with menopause. New studies are proving the correlation of hormone release and the increase of migraine headaches. These hormone changes are highlighted in the journal, "Headache", as the beginning of a research series into the complicated theories behind menstruation, ovarian hormones, and migraines. The article states that migraine attacks can occur before and during menstruation.
Avoiding Menstrual Migraines
I have been getting migraines in the 10 days or so leading up to menstruation for years and never really made the connection until I became peri-menopausal. Now a study has found a definite link between oestrogen and migraine (Dr Jan Lewis Brandes). Typically migraine headache symptoms include two of the following - headache on one side of the head, pain that's moderate to severe, and feels throbbing or pulsing, or it is made worse by ordinary activity.
Drink soy milk or yoghurt rather than dairy. Soy contains natural phyto-oestrogens which helps to increase the oestrogenal level that will help to even out the oestrogen fluctuations that triggers the migraine attacks. Make sure you get at leats 7 hours sleep per night, but not more than 9 hours. Over sleeping or conversely, sleep deprivation can trigger migraine attacks
Herb to Stop Migraine Headaches
The Feverfew herb is a member of the daisy family. Feverfew has instilled new hope for fewer and milder migraine headaches. In ancient Greece the herb Feverfew was used to reduce swelling and for women's menstrual distress. The herbs name is a Latin derivative meaning to chase away fevers. You may even say it was the aspirin of the eighteenth century.
The plant grows to about two feet high and it is a perennial. The leaves are doubly divided and have a tooth like edge. The flower will look very much like a daisy with white petals and a yellow center. Feverfew requires lots of sun and good drainage; it is very easy to grow and is considered a weed.
Menstrual Migraine Relief
So many of us suffer needlessly from headaches or migraines on a regular basis. The usual course of action has us reaching for quick relief in some form of pain killer such as Aspirin, Tylenol or Prescription Medication. The real solution lies in finding the cause of the headache in the first place. By finding and treating the underlying cause, we eliminate the reason for the pain. In most cases, headache pain is the way our body tells us there may be something wrong.
