Answer 6

The herb Feverfew has been used to prevent and treat migraines since the middle ages.  About 10 years ago you could buy Feverfew tablets.  They were called Tanacet.  They may be sold under another name now.  I think that you can still buy them. Ask for them at your local  Natural Health Store or check for them online.

Answer 12

A lot of migraine medicines are just pain killers. They only help before a migraine starts to occur.

Migraines usually occur when the person is Dehydrated, stressed, hormonal imbalances: Candida: food allergies: parsites: heavy metal toxicity, and allergies.

When I turned 18, i began experiencing painful headaches that lasted a week or two. One day, I went to the doctor and told me that those painful headaches were migraines. The doctor told me it could be genetics because my parents had it. The doctor gave me painkillers but I denied the drug. I found it useless because I did not want unknown chemicals going into my body that could harm me (side effects). I later bought a book full of natural cures. It had pages full of natural cures medicines that would cure common diseases such as migraines, allergies, herpes, diabetes, etc.

The books title is called Natural Cures “They don’t want you to know about”.

The cure that I found for migraines is Apple Cider Vinegar. (There is also Dr. Coldwell's stress reducing techniques; acupuncture; alphabiotics; cranial sacral therapy; chiropratic adjustments). If you are serious of getting ride of you migraine, you must eliminate artificial sweeteners and do all the cleanses (colon cleanse; liver/gallbladder cleanse, heavy metal cleanse, parasite cleanse, candida cleanse).

One day, I slowly felt a migraine ready to cause me pain. I quickly ran to the kitchen and filled a glass of water and mix it with 1 Tablespoon (15ml) and 1Teaspoon (5ml). I drank it and within an hour and a half, my migraine was gone.

Instructions:

Since Apple Cider Vinegar is 5 percent acidic. I used two methods of indulging the acidic product.

Eat it with a salad and 1 Tablespoon (15ml) and 1Teaspoon (5ml) of Apple Cider Vinegar

or

A 3/4 glass full of water and mix with 1 Tablespoon (15ml) and 1Teaspoon (5ml) of Apple Cider Vinegar.

P.S. You can use the natural cure "while" having a migraine and it will take about an hour and a half for the pain to go away (the amount of time for the migraine to go away depends on the person). Please try it. It helped me, my parents, and my co-workers.
