If you suffer from migraines if would be a good idea to keep a diary to  try to identify your own triggers. Some of the triggering factors include :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bright lights, loud noises, and certain odors or perfumes&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt; Allergic reactions&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt; Changes in sleep patterns&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt; Physical or emotional stress&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt; Skipping meals&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt; Smoking or exposure to smoke&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt; Menstrual cycle fluctuations, birth control pills, hormone fluctuations during the menopause transition&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt; Alcohol&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt; Foods containing tyramine (red wine, aged cheese, smoked fish, chicken livers, figs, and some beans), monosodium glutamate (MSG) or nitrates (like bacon, hot dogs, and salami)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt; Tension headaches&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt; aspartame&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt; Other foods such as nuts, peanut butter,chocolate,  avocado, banana, onions, citrus, dairy products, and pickled or fermented foods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Some studies however have found no correlation between some of the foods popularly supposed to induce migraines including chocolate, cheese, histamine, tyramine, nitrates, or nitrites. Some studies suggest that dehydration, alcohol and caffeine withdrawal and missing, meals were important triggers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Migraine Remedies&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;Migraine should be diagnosed by a doctor who will advise on the best course of treatment, there are however some things you can try to help with the pain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An ice pack on the side of the head that is affected can reduce the pain&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) has a long tradition of being used for the treatment of headaches. Results of clinical studies are mixed about its effectiveness. I have personally used feverfew and found it to be effective.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cut our aspertame from your diet. I can personally testify that after having suffered with migraines for over twenty years I stopped using any products containing aspertame (for a different reason). In over five years since I stopped using aspertame I have had NO migraines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other natural migraine remedies will be explored in future articles.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6938227241858055638-7268139399535924184?l=migraine-remedies-and-cures.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://migraine-remedies-and-cures.blogspot.com/feeds/7268139399535924184/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://migraine-remedies-and-cures.blogspot.com/2009/02/migraine-remedies-and-symptoms.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6938227241858055638/posts/default/7268139399535924184'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6938227241858055638/posts/default/7268139399535924184'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://migraine-remedies-and-cures.blogspot.com/2009/02/migraine-remedies-and-symptoms.html' title='Migraine Remedies and Symptoms'/><author><name>janetrb</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05000157410091204276</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6938227241858055638.post-4001016174643668232</id><published>2010-02-09T15:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-05-08T10:40:35.202-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='natural migraine relief'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='natural migraine cures'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='migraine remedies'/><title type='text'>Natural Migraine Remedies</title><content type='html'>There are some &lt;a href="http://migraine-remedies-and-cures.blogspot.com/"&gt;migraine remedies&lt;/a&gt; that you can try at home, however if you suffer from migraines you should always consult a medical practitioner for diagnosis and treatment. Many natural remedies have a long history of use in the relief of migraines. Some natural remedies for migraine are detailed below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4&gt;Feverfew - Tanacetum parthenium&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;Feverfew is a natural &lt;a href="http://www.manageyourlifenow.com/Articles/tabid/60/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/49/Migraine-Headaches-cause-and-cure.aspx" title="ManageYourLifeNow.com" target="_blank"&gt;migraine cure&lt;/a&gt; that has been used for many years for the relief of arthritis, fever and pain. It has increased in popularity since the 1980's as an alternative to drug treatment. Clinical studies have shown the effectiveness of &lt;a href="http://www.chinese-herbs.ca/chinese-herbal-nutritional-supplements/feverfew.php" title="Chinese Herbal Supplements | Feverfew Herb Treatments and Usages" target="_blank"&gt;feverfew&lt;/a&gt; in reducing the frequency and the pain associated with migraine. One study of 170 sufferers showed a significant decrease in the frequency of migraines from 1.9 migraines a month to 1.3. However other studies have not shown this effect and others have mixed results. If you suffer from migraines it is worth trying feverfew and seeing if it helps to reduce the frequency of your attacks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feverfew does have some side effects including abdominal problems such as gas, nausea, vomiting and pain. Also people who are allergic to ragweed, yarrow or chamomile should not take feverfew. If you have a bleeding disorder or take any blood thinning medicines such as warfarin or aspirin you should consult a medical practitioner before you take feverfew. The safety of using feverfew if you are pregnant or nursing has not been established.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0shPCLI-PMw/SZd9gYmbS4I/AAAAAAAAAEs/5mJOOwrfOJw/s1600-h/feverfew.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 129px; height: 135px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0shPCLI-PMw/SZd9gYmbS4I/AAAAAAAAAEs/5mJOOwrfOJw/s320/feverfew.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302845081564957570" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" href="http://r.popshops.com/pp/45806/now-foods-feverfew-100-caps"&gt;Now Foods Feverfew, 100 Caps&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;List Price:&lt;span class="title hand" onclick="PopShopsBrowser.insert_product('15040217');return false;" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;$8.93&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Description: NOW Feverfew naturally contains 0. 4 Parthenolide.

Magnesium is needed for many biochemical processes in the body including regulation of blood sugar levels and blood pressure, heart rhythm and for normal muscle and nerve function. Magnesium is a mineral found naturally in foods such as green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains and in nutritional supplements.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some studies have shown that magnesium supplements may help to reduce the frequency of migraines. In one study of sufferers taking 600mg a day the frequency was reduced by 41.6%. Some people in the study suffered some digestive irritation and diarrhoea. Not all studies have shown as high a decrease as this however so more studies are needed before it is proved conclusively that magnesium will decrease the frequency and severity of migraine attacks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some side effects of high dosage of magnesium include loss of appetite, nausea, low blood pressure and irregular heart beat. Some medications that can be affected by magnesium include some antibiotics, treatments for osteoporosis, diuretics, muscle relaxants and high blood pressure medications. Always consult a medical practitioner before taking a magnesium supplement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4&gt;Butterbur - Petasites hybridus&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;Butterbur is a herb found in Asia, Europe and North America and has been used as a migraine remedy for many years. The herb has also been used to allergies, asthma and stomach cramps for many years. Some studies have shown that butterbur is effective in treating migraines. In one study involving 245 migraine sufferers 50 or 75 mgs of butterbur extract were taken twice a day for four months.  Results show that taking 75mgs a day was effective in reducing the severity and frequency of migraines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Side effects of butterbur include indigestion, nausea, headache, constipation and diarrhoea. The safety of butterbur for the use of pregnant or nursing women and for children has not been determines. You should not take butterbur is you have liver or kidney disease. Butterbur is a member of the ragweed family so if you are allergic to ragweed, daisy, chrysanthemum or marigold you should not take butterbur. The raw herb contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids so should not be used as these are toxic and may cause cancer of the liver or kidneys. These should be extracted from the butterbur before use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0shPCLI-PMw/SZd9DRGKYBI/AAAAAAAAAEk/ujXkZfwpahg/s1600-h/butterbur.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 114px; height: 123px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0shPCLI-PMw/SZd9DRGKYBI/AAAAAAAAAEk/ujXkZfwpahg/s320/butterbur.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302844581334376466" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" href="http://r.popshops.com/pp/45804/now-foods-butterbur-with-feverfew-60-capsules"&gt; Now Foods Butterbur With Feverfew, 60 Capsules&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;List Price:&lt;span class="title hand" onclick="PopShopsBrowser.insert_product('15057082');return false;" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;$19.44&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Description: Butterbur (Petasites hybridus) is a native shrub of Europe, North America, and Asia that has been used by the herbalists for centuries.

Among the natural migraine cures that have been tried herbal supplements, nutritional therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic adjustment biofeedback. People may vary in their response to these cures as everyone is different and the factors contribution to &lt;a href="http://www.manageyourlifenow.com/Articles/tabid/60/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/84/Migraine-headaches-remedies.aspx" title="Migraine headaches remedies" target="_blank"&gt; migraine headaches&lt;/a&gt; vary from person to person. some of the most successful natural migraine cures are detailed below. You should always consult your doctor before undertaking any of these cures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Chiropractic adjustment&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;Chiropractic adjustment can align neck bones that may be pressing on nerves causing irritation that can lead to migraine attacks. They can also help to relieve muscle tension in this area. Studies have shown that as many as 80% of sufferers gained relief with this method.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Neck exercises&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;Next exercises can be used to relieve the tension in the muscles of the neck which can lead to reduced blood flow to the brain. This oxygen deprivation can then trigger a migraine attack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Controlling Blood Sugar with Diet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;Migraines can be related to low blood sugar. This can be caused by eating too many foods containing refined sugar which, although initially raising blood sugar, causes a subsequent drop when insulin is released to deal with a high concentration of sugar in the blood. The very low level of blood sugar thing causes many natural chemicals to be released into the blood which can trigger a migraine attack. It is preferable to keep the blood sugar level without these highs and lows. To do this follow the guidelines below:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Avoid refined foods that contain sugar including honey and other syrups&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt; Avoid alcohol&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt; Eat plenty of fresh fruit and avoid dried fruits&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt; Eat regularly. Small meals eaten regularly a much better than one or two very large meals daily&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt; Always eat protein when you eat complex carbohydrates (starches)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Avoid Foods That Trigger Your Migraine&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;there are many different foods that have been shown to trigger migraines, but you will need to find out for yourself your own migraine triggers. One way to do this is to keep a diary of your food intake so you can correlate it with attacks. There are blood tests available and can be used to find foods that you are reacting to. Some foods contain amines have been shown to cause migraines, as amines constrict blood vessels leading to the attack. Amines are found in foods such as chocolate, potatoes, pineapples, tomatoes, cheese, wine, beer, yeast extracts and many more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Vitamin and Mineral Deficiencies&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;some migraine sufferers have low levels of magnesium in their cells. Supplements of magnesium in the form of magnesium citrate have been used with success.&lt;br /&gt;Chromium has also been shown below and people with poor blood sugar control. Low blood sugar can lead to migraine attack.

A common cause of migraines is sensitivity to certain foods. Many different foods have been reported to be migraine triggers including cheese, alcohol, chocolate, yeast, mono sodium glutamate, nuts, citrus fruits, dairy products, caffeine and more. Avoiding the trigger can be a big help in preventing your migraine attacks but sorting out which of the many foods that cause migraines is your own particular trigger is not easy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Keeping a Food Diary&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;What is the best way to determine your migraine trigger? The best way is to keep a diary of everything you eat and when you ate it. In a notebook write down the food you eat, the time you ate it and any symptoms you may experience. You might want to use a page each day with three columns for the food, time and symptoms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It may take some time to be able to correlate foods with the onset of a migraine. Be careful not to blame a food from one attack. Only if you experience an attack after eating a food three times can you start to suspect that food is the culprit. It can also be complicated by having more than one trigger. Once you have identified a possible trigger eliminate that food from your diet and see if the frequency of your migraines decreases. If you still experience migraines it may not be the trigger or there may be more than one trigger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can see finding a possible migraine trigger and eliminating it is not easy or fast. You may already suspect some foods so that may make it easier. However if you can find your trigger foods and eliminate them you will be able to decrease or even stop migraine attacks completely.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6938227241858055638-711258808300139941?l=migraine-remedies-and-cures.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://migraine-remedies-and-cures.blogspot.com/feeds/711258808300139941/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://migraine-remedies-and-cures.blogspot.com/2009/02/migraine-remedies-finding-your-trigger.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6938227241858055638/posts/default/711258808300139941'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6938227241858055638/posts/default/711258808300139941'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://migraine-remedies-and-cures.blogspot.com/2009/02/migraine-remedies-finding-your-trigger.html' title='Migraine Remedies - Finding Your Trigger'/><author><name>janetrb</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05000157410091204276</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6938227241858055638.post-2670125968065258579</id><published>2009-02-13T16:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-24T14:39:22.722-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='migraine trigger'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='natural migraine relief'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='migraine remedies'/><title type='text'>Migraine Remedies - Preventing Migraine by Knowing Your Trigger</title><content type='html'>One of the best &lt;a href="http://migraine-remedies-and-cures.blogspot.com/"&gt;migraine remedies&lt;/a&gt; is to prevent the migraine before it starts.

Some non drug migraine remedies you can try are detailed below. Prevention is probably the best remedy so it is important that you identify the triggers. Certain foods, additives especially aspartame, stress and bright lights can all set off a migraine. You could keep a diary of foods to try to pinpoint any foods that set off your migraines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Ice Packs or wraps&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;A specially prepared ice wrap can be purchased and should be placed on the forehead or neck. A home made version can easily be made. Wet a towel, squeeze it gently then fold and place in the freezer. Leave for about ten minutes only until it becomes stiff. Take out the towel and refold it so that the frozen part is in the middle and the still wet parts on the outside. Replace in the freezer until almost completely frozen. place around the eyes and head at the onset of a migraine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Massage treatment&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;Lay down in a darkened room and have a partner massage your scalp. Ten or fifteen minutes should help to ward off the migraine or at least reduce the pain.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6938227241858055638-6521179105577125438?l=migraine-remedies-and-cures.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://migraine-remedies-and-cures.blogspot.com/feeds/6521179105577125438/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://migraine-remedies-and-cures.blogspot.com/2009/02/natural-non-drug-migraine-remedies.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6938227241858055638/posts/default/6521179105577125438'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6938227241858055638/posts/default/6521179105577125438'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://migraine-remedies-and-cures.blogspot.com/2009/02/natural-non-drug-migraine-remedies.html' title='Natural Non Drug Migraine Remedies'/><author><name>janetrb</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05000157410091204276</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6938227241858055638.post-1736602931482366885</id><published>2009-01-15T17:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-24T14:40:01.027-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='natural migraine relief'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='natural migraine cures'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='migraine remedies'/><title type='text'>Heal Your Migraine With Natural Remedies</title><content type='html'>&lt;div id="body"&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you are uneasy about taking pain medications, you may be interested in &lt;a href="http://migraine-remedies-and-cures.blogspot.com/"&gt;alternative treatments for migraine&lt;/a&gt;, or vascular, headaches. Alternative methods are natural ways to cure the pain and suffering of migraines. Alternative treatments are becoming more and more popular with doctors, especially when they are combined with prescription medications.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are several factors that lead to the increasing popularity of natural migraine remedies. If you have a tendency to react adversely to prescription or over the counter medications, you may find that you can't take any of the available migraine medications. Of course, you may just prefer not to use prescription medications because you are concerned about adversely affecting your body after extended use. The side effects of migraine drugs also make them a problem for many people. The last reason many people are turning to natural migraine remedies is the cost of prescription drugs. Without good insurance, these drugs can just be too pricey for most people.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the easiest, and most effective, natural migraine remedies is to turn out the lights. Darkness can help you recover more quickly from a painful attack. While laying down in a dark area should help somewhat, you can make this remedy more effective by following a few simple tips.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Keep it quiet. Turn off televisions, radios and other noisemakers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Make sure you are warm and cozy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Lay down and relax as much as possible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Don't close your eyes. Instead, cover them with a cloth, such as a scarf or a handkerchief. Closing your eyes actually uses additional muscles and can worsen your pain.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Relaxed breathing is another natural remedy for migraines. The reason this method is so effective is that knowing how badly your head is going to hurt when the migraine reaches full strength can cause you to have an anxiety attack. This makes your heart rate go up, which makes your blood move through your system more quickly, which increases your blood pressure. The increase in blood pressure puts more pressure on the areas being affected by your migraine attack, worsening the symptoms. It is essential for you to relax your breathing and slow your heart rate. To relax your breathing, you should:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Breathe in slowly and deeply. Then exhale just as slowly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Take a second slow, deep breath. Take the time to feel the air going into your lungs and filling your body. Once you've inhaled as deeply as you can without growing uncomfortable, exhale slowly. Think about the way the air feels as it leaves your body. Be sure to breath out completely before you inhale again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Repeat the entire process four to five more times, focusing on staying relaxed and slow.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. You should feel far more relaxed and your breathing should be calmer. Your heart should be beating at a normal rate. Ideally, you should be so relaxed that you feel sleepy. Don't fight the feeling. Go ahead and fall asleep.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lavender oil is the final natural remedy for migraine sufferers. This essential oil is known for its many uses, including its ability to soothe migraine headaches. Lavender oil is inexpensive and readily available. You will want to avoid fragrances or scented oils, as they are not effective. Essential oils are much more powerful. When you begin to feel migraine symptoms, you will need to place a drop of lavender oil on your temples or behind your ears. You may want to place two to three additional drops of oil on your pillow. This treatment is especially effective when combined with the first two natural migraine remedies. The scent of lavender is so relaxing that many people feel their migraine lessening almost right away.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ideally, when you treat your migraine with these natural remedies, you will fall into a healing sleep and awaken feeling rested and ready to face the day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="sig" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do you suffer from &lt;a id="link_56" target="_new" href="http://www.migrainehelper.com/migraineremedies.shtml"&gt;migraines and want natural relief&lt;/a&gt; from the pain?

Even so, with today's frenzied way of life, avoiding stress is an unattainable dream, in spite of medical authorities' warnings to patients.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stress triggered migraine headaches can be steered clear of with various natural remedies. Aromatherapy, for instance, is known to straightforwardly affect our perception of stressors; it is becoming a valuable tool for avoiding these headache attacks. Aromatherapy demands little expense and many of the best stress reducing substances are readily available items.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Imagine yourself relaxing in a warm bath of lavender bath salts, burning eucalyptus oil candles, or enjoying a sandalwood scented handkerchief draped over your eyes. Keep in mind, this kind of remedy can help beat stress, but won't eliminate physiological responses to inherently stressful situations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Consuming caffeinated drinks is another home remedies to know about. Caffeine has been shown to help dilate blood vessels, countering the migraine getting worse. Fruits rich in vitamin C support production of endorphins, these function as natural stress suppressors in the body. Massage can also greatly decrease stress induced muscle tension.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not every migraine sufferer can depend on having a licensed masseuse on call, but the availability of consumer massage chairs or ergonomic pads placed a regular chair anybody can benefit from the power of a massage. Although a massage offered by a person is better than any gadget's, they're better than nothing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Don't forget traditional relaxation techniques. Remember, when kids have trouble falling asleep, mothers tell them to try relaxing their body one muscle at a time and it usually works. Adult migraine patients can do the same, relaxing different muscle groups by focusing on relaxing the entire body, one muscle area at a time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;&lt;div id="sig" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Learn more about &lt;a id="link_56" target="_new" href="http://www.medopedia.com/migraine-avoid"&gt;avoiding migraines&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a id="link_57" target="_new" href="http://www.medopedia.com/migraine-feverfew"&gt;feverfew for migraines&lt;/a&gt; at Medopedia.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Article Source: &lt;a id="link_58" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Antoinette_Boulay"&gt;http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Antoinette_Boulay&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6938227241858055638-1015817700733435586?l=migraine-remedies-and-cures.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://migraine-remedies-and-cures.blogspot.com/feeds/1015817700733435586/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://migraine-remedies-and-cures.blogspot.com/2009/01/stress-triggered-migraine-remedies.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6938227241858055638/posts/default/1015817700733435586'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6938227241858055638/posts/default/1015817700733435586'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://migraine-remedies-and-cures.blogspot.com/2009/01/stress-triggered-migraine-remedies.html' title='Stress Triggered Migraine Remedies'/><author><name>janetrb</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05000157410091204276</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6938227241858055638.post-5330817255964555491</id><published>2008-02-15T11:03:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-15T11:05:54.213-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Site Map</title><content type='html'>&lt;ul class="rss-items"&gt;&lt;li class="rss-item"&gt;&lt;a class="rss-item" href="http://migraine-remedies-and-cures.blogspot.com/2009/02/migraine-remedies-and-symptoms.html" title="..." target="_self"&gt;Migraine Remedies and Symptoms&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="rss-item"&gt;&lt;a class="rss-item" href="http://migraine-remedies-and-cures.blogspot.com/2009/02/natural-migraine-remedies.html" title="..." target="_self"&gt;Natural Migraine Remedies&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="rss-item"&gt;&lt;a class="rss-item" href="http://migraine-remedies-and-cures.blogspot.com/2009/02/migraine-remedies-finding-your-trigger.html" title="..." target="_self"&gt;Migraine Remedies -

LINKS TO OTHER SITES &lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Migraine Remedies and Cures has relationships with other companies that we allow to place ads and links on our Web pages. As a result of your visit to Migraine Remedies and Cures, ad server companies may collect information such as your domain type, your IP address, and clickstream information.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Please note that when you click on one of these links, you are moving from Migraine Remedies and Cures to another Web site. We encourage you to read the site terms and privacy statements of these linked sites as their site terms and privacy policies may differ from ours.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;II. ORDERS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you purchase a product from one of the companies Migraine Remedies and Cures represents, they will request certain personally identifiable information from you on their order form. You must provide contact information (such as name, email, and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date). Migraine Remedies and Cures is not responsible for the site terms or privacy policies of such other sites so review their site terms and privacy policy before completing your order.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;III. REGISTRATION FOR NEWSLETTER&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If Migraine Remedies and Cures offers a newsletter then registration is required with Migraine Remedies and Cures, such as name and email address. We use this information to contact you about the services on our site in which you have expressed interest. We will never share this information unless required to do so by law enforcement agencies, as stated below in our privacy policy.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h1 class="western"&gt;Privacy Policy&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONSUMER PRIVACY&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;I. INFORMATION WE COLLECT: INDIVIDUAL INTERNET CONSUMERS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;A. Personally Identifiable Information (PII).&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under no circumstances does Migraine Remedies and Cures request or collect sensitive PII such as an Internet user's medical/health conditions; racial or ethnic origin; political, religious or philosophical beliefs or affiliations; trade union membership or sex life.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;B. Non-Personally Identifiable Information (Non-PII). &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When a consumer responds to or views an Internet advertisement served by Migraine Remedies and Cures (such as through third-party Web sites or email solicitation) or visits an advertiser's web site, we send a cookie and/or gif file ("Cookies") to assign an anonymous, unique identifier to the end user's Internet browser. Cookies are small data files commonly used on the Internet to help optimize and personalize the Internet end user experience and identify repeat visitors to Web sites.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Migraine Remedies and Cures uses Cookies to obtain information about the preferences of consumers and the services they select; and also to optimize and personalize the Internet user's experience. If the Internet user re-visits the advertiser's site directly, Migraine Remedies and Cures is able to continue to track the user's activities.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Like most standard Web site servers, we use log files to collect Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, and date/time stamp. We use the information to analyze site usage, administer the site, understand usage and navigation trends in aggregate, and determine the relevance of content. This information, however, is not linked to any personally identifiable information.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We also may use Internet browsing and online purchase data associated with an anonymous identifier to develop a predictive statistical user profile of the end user's needs and interests. Migraine Remedies and Cures does not use Cookies or log files to collect end users' names, physical addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, credit card numbers, social security numbers, or any other information which can be used to identify a specific person. We may match the IP address and user profile with email address data obtained separately in order to better target campaigns to meet user's interests, but will not share this information with third parties.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Migraine Remedies and Cures has relationships with other companies that we allow to place ads and links on our Web pages. Please note that when you click on one of these links, you are moving to another web site. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of these linked sites as their privacy policies may differ from ours.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Some of these other companies may use marketing technology that allows advertisers to add non-personally-identifying demographic information, such as age, gender, area code, or ZIP code, to the non-identifiable profile data. Thus, there is no direct connection between an end user's online choices and his or her personal identity.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In some cases, Migraine Remedies and Cures receives and records partial email addresses of Internet users, only in circumstances where the user voluntarily provided its identity and contact information through the Advertiser's site or third-party marketer's site. This partial email address does not enable Migraine Remedies and Cures to personally identify an Internet User nor is it shared, sold, rented, or given away.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;II. INFORMATION SHARING &lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Migraine Remedies and Cures may release account and any other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to respond to a subpoena or otherwise comply with the law; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Migraine Remedies and Cures or others. This may include exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;III. CONSUMER CHOICE AND ACCESS &lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;A. Opting Out. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some Cookies have an "opt-out" option. This process does not remove Migraine Remedies and Cures's Cookie from your system; it simply replaces it with an opt-out Cookie that does not contain any unique identifiers. If Migraine Remedies and Cures provides such a process it is detailed below.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Some of Migraine Remedies and Cures's Cookies do not have an "opt-out" option, yet you still have the option of blocking the use of Cookies by changing a setting in your Internet browser. Please see your browser supplier's Web site for details on how to do this.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Migraine Remedies and Cures does not maintain a process for an individual consumer to opt-out of Migraine Remedies and Cures's Cookies.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;B. Accessing Consumer Information.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because they are not directed towards individual Internet users, most sites do not maintain a process for an individual consumer to review and/or request changes to any PII collected.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Except as provided below, Migraine Remedies and Cures does not maintain a process for an individual consumer to access his/her PII.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;IV. SECURITY &lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Migraine Remedies and Cures employs industry standard security measures to ensure the security of all data. Any data that is stored on Migraine Remedies and Cures's servers is treated as proprietary and confidential and is not available to the public. Migraine Remedies and Cures allows access to this data only to those employees or third parties who have a need to know such information for the purpose of effectively delivering Migraine Remedies and Cures's products and services by means of user login and password requirements.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;No transmission of data over the Internet is guaranteed to be completely secure. It may be possible for third parties not under the control of Migraine Remedies and Cures to intercept or access transmissions or private communications unlawfully. While we strive to protect your PII, Migraine Remedies and Cures cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. You acknowledge and assume this risk when communicating with Migraine Remedies and Cures.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;V. CONSENT AND CHANGES &lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Migraine Remedies and Cures may find it necessary or be legally obligated to update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post those changes on this page and update the effective date so that you are always aware of the information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it. Except as otherwise required by law, modifications to this Privacy Policy will not affect the privacy of data collected by Migraine Remedies and Cures prior to the effective date of the policy change.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;VI. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY AND SPAM &lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Migraine Remedies and Cures is very sensitive to the issue of children's privacy and makes every effort to protect the privacy of children using the Internet. It is possible that Migraine Remedies and Cures's Web site, products, and services may may not be appropriate for or directed at children. Children (persons under the age of 18) are not eligible to do business with us and we do not collect personal information from any person we actually know is under the age of 13.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Migraine Remedies and Cures is committed to proper Internet practices and full compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (15 U.S.C. § 7701). It is our policy to prohibit the sending of unsolicited or "Spam" e-mail by Migraine Remedies and Cures or any of our marketing partners.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Please note that under the CAN-SPAM Act, an advertiser is required to provide an opt-out mechanism for consumers to unsubscribe from future emails about the advertiser. Although not required to by law, many email marketers also include an opt-out mechanism to enable consumers to be removed from their mailing list. This has caused some confusion for consumers in opting out. The table below clarifies which opt-out mechanism you should use for commercial emails.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table width="616" border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"&gt;  &lt;col width="379"&gt;  &lt;col width="215"&gt;  &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;   &lt;td width="379"&gt;    &lt;p&gt;To receive no further emails . . .&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/td&gt;   &lt;td width="215"&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Opt-Out Mechanism to Use&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;tr&gt;   &lt;td width="379"&gt;    &lt;p&gt;about the advertiser&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/td&gt;   &lt;td width="215"&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Advertiser's&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;tr&gt;   &lt;td width="379"&gt;    &lt;p&gt;from the email marketing company&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/td&gt;   &lt;td width="215"&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Opt-Out Mechanism&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;tr&gt;   &lt;td width="379"&gt;    &lt;p&gt;from the advertiser or email marketing company&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/td&gt;   &lt;td width="215"&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Both&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;VII. DATA PROCESSING/SAFE HARBOR&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The European Union ("EU") maintains strict privacy laws. These rules differ significantly from US laws. To reconcile these differences, the US and the EU have created a Safe Harbor that defines mutually acceptable privacy operations. Migraine Remedies and Cures adheres to the Safe Harbor principals. For more information see &lt;a href="http://www.export.gov/safeharbor" target="_blank"&gt;www.export.gov/safeharbor&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;VIII. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, THIRD PARTY INFORMATION &amp;amp; LANGUAGE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE OVER PRIVACY IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND OUR SITE TERMS (INCLUDING LIMITATIONS ON DAMAGES, AND ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES). YOU AGREE THAT Migraine Remedies and Cures' LIABILITY FOR ANY BREACH OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE VALUE OF THE TRANSACTIONS OR SERVICES PROVIDED TO YOU BY Migraine Remedies and Cures OR $250 TO THE EXTENT SUCH CLAIM IS NOT OTHERWISE BARRED BY OUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS. You also agree that you have provided notice to, and obtained consent from, any third party individuals whose personal data you supply to Migraine Remedies and Cures with regard to: (a) the purposes for which such third party's personal data has been collected; (b) the intended recipients or categories of recipients of the third party's personal data; (c) which of the third party's data are obligatory and which data, if any, are voluntary; and (d) how the third party can access and, if necessary, rectify the data held about them. It is the express will of the parties that this agreement and all related documents have been drawn up in English.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Google&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;li&gt;Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to our users based on their visit to your sites and other sites on the Internet.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;li&gt;Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html"&gt;Google ad and content network privacy policy&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONTACT US &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information or if you have questions or concerns regarding Migraine Remedies and Cures' site terms or privacy policy, please &lt;a href="mailto:janet@antiguawebsolutions.com"&gt;CONTACT US.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Updated February 11, 2008&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6938227241858055638-9186300578608313181?l=migraine-remedies-and-cures.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6938227241858055638/posts/default/9186300578608313181'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6938227241858055638/posts/default/9186300578608313181'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://migraine-remedies-and-cures.blogspot.com/2008/02/privacy-policy.html' title='Privacy Policy'/><author><name>janetrb</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05000157410091204276</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6938227241858055638.post-1445879050168721643</id><published>2008-02-09T17:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-09T17:42:46.150-08:00</updated><title type='text'>About Us</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://migraine-remedies-and-cures.blogspot.com/"&gt;Migraine Remedies and Cures&lt;/a&gt; has been set up to provide you with information on treatments and remedies for migraine.
