There are different herbs for migraine relief and prevention. Studies have shown taking feverfew may reduce the number of headaches and migraines a month. It may also lessen the time a migraine lasts. Herbs like dandelion, peppermint, and butterbur may be used in teas to help ease the pain of headaches while also helping to prevent them from happening. Curcumin supplementation was confirmed in studies to reduce the severity and duration of migraines compared to placebos. One property in meadowsweet is salicylates, which has an aspirin-like effect. It helps to relieve pain without the side effects of aspirin.
Often times our first reaction to a headache or migraine is to grab something like Advil or Tylenol, but these herbs are just as effective at helping the pain and don’t contain the same properties as pain relievers that can damage our organs. If you are someone who suffers frequently from headaches and migraines, these herbs might be something to consider incorporating into your diet.
