5 ways to get relieve from Migraine

-

 


  • Scalp Massages. Applying pressure to muscles can help with relieving tension and stress, which are common migraine triggers. Massages can also help promote blood circulation, which can help relieve pain. However, scalp massages may be uncomfortable for people who are sensitive to touch.
  • Sleep. Too much or too little sleep can cause migraine attacks. In order to avoid an attack, or making migraine symptoms worse, it’s important to practice good sleep habits. This includes going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, avoiding screens before sleeping and spending enough time in natural light during the day. Naps can also help with migraine. If you feel an incoming attack or are experiencing one, it may help to lay down and sleep for a little while.
  • Exercise. It is not recommended to exercise while experiencing a migraine attack or if you feel unwell. However, exercise has proven to have benefits with lessening migraine symptoms and attacks. Light-impact exercises, such as walking and yoga, can help make a positive difference. ​​Some people find that exercise can abort an acute attack.
  • Compresses. Cold compresses have proven to help with migraine attacks. Keep a cold compress or a bag of ice handy to press against your temple or neck when you feel an attack approaching or if your symptoms are difficult to manage. Some people prefer warm compresses over cold. When using compresses, do not leave them on for longer than 15 minutes and don’t fall asleep with heating pads on—doing so can be unsafe.
  • Hydration. Dehydration is a common cause of headaches and is thought to be a trigger for migraine attacks. Have water available at all times and try to drink the recommended eight glasses per day.
  • Dim the lights. Sensitivity to light is a common symptom of migraine. This is called photophobia. Keeping the lights low in your living space or office can help lower the chances of experiencing an attack. You can also consider using blackout curtains during the day, wearing sunglasses when outdoors, using daylight-spectrum fluorescent bulbs and adding anti-glare screens to your computer.
  • Maybe: Essential oils. While essential oils smell nice and can help you feel relaxed, there is no scientific evidence that suggests scented oils can provide relief from migraine. If you find that the smell of your favorite essential oil reduces stress, it may be helpful to use them. But be aware, some people have heightened smell sensitivity during an attack and others note strong smells may trigger attacks.
