Need migraine relief because you are suffering from chronic migraines? According to this study, migraine sufferers should be hopeful. There is an all natural supplement that could be give you the migraine relief you need. As a matter of fact, if you are suffering from migraines, you know that the medication that is typically subscribed is very strong… and studies have shown, a lot of it can be very dangerous.

Anyway, there is good news.

A study was done with 32 patients who had chronic migraines. They had migraines at least 2 to 8 times a month. Each person was given only 150 mg of coenzyme Q10 (also known as “Co Q 10″) each morning at breakfast for 3 months. 31 out of the 32 people finished the study and no bad effects were linked with Coenzyme Q10 therapy. The great news? 61% had greater than a 50% reduction in migraine days at the end of 3 months! That’s 10 patients! And 93% of the patients had at least a 25% reduction in number of days with migraine and The promising news? Only 2 out of the 32 patients showed no improvement. So the odds are very good that Co Q 10 might help with migraines.

Where do you buy Co Q 10? You can get it at your local health store but they will charge you a LOT of money for it. You can also buy it online for a lot cheaper… but be careful about where you buy it. A lot of vitamins have “fillers” in them that are not good for you. Make sure you buy an “all natural” Co Q 10. Be careful.

Lisa Tackly asked:


Many migraine sufferers find that their symptoms are relieved by applying either heat or cold to the area of most pain.

It is a common and popular natural technique as it avoids the use of medication which can commonly lead to side effects and long term problems.

Each migraine sufferer will find relief from methods that may not apply to all sufferers, it usually depends on the individual. A good example is the contrasting heat and cold treatment. Some find relief from heat and other sufferers may find relief coming by applying cold to the painful area.

Here are 3 simple and effective techniques that commonly help ease the pain:

Damp Cloth

For sufferers that have a stabbing pain at the back of the eye, a warm or cool (depending on preference) damp cloth is laid over the eyes which is commonly known to provide relief. In addition, this also provides benefit to those that suffer the discomfort of photosensitivity.

Apply a Compress

The application of a cold or hot compress on the head, again depending on what ever works best for the sufferer, also generally relieves the pain. It is applied on the region of the head where the pain is substantially greater. Another common location where pain is generally severe, is around the front of the ear.

Shower

Another technique that also provides relief is by taking a hot or cold shower. Some migraine sufferers find that by directing the water at the head and neck region, the pain reduces.

Although these techniques are effective with providing relief from migraines, there are other more powerful and techniques.
