How do you reduce the severity and frequency of migraine headaches without a prescription?

Question

I have been getting migraine headaches for almost a year now and i went on the pill which helped. However Sometimes I still get full-blown migraines and sometimes I get really bad headaches that occur randomly and debilitate me for the day. I have tylenol threes and I also have some expensive tablets that dissolve on the tongue. Does anyone have any all-natural tricks or remedies?

Answer 2

avoid these

sugar, sugar substitute, soft drinks, candy

potato, corn, wheat, cereals

noodles, spaghetti, instant food

rest - seat for 5 minutes close your eyes, don't sleep.

stress = too salty, too cold, too hot, too sweet, too tired, "too rest"

"too" of anything is stress to your body
