If you have ever had a migraine or headache, you will do almost anything to get rid of the pain.  Oh, how pain makes us crazy.  Pharmaceutical medicines and injections have so many side effects and they dull the pain but, never eliminate them.  The Egyptians found that people who used the pure vanilla bean could end their headaches almost every time.

They found that pure vanilla could end even the worse of headaches three times faster than most other remedies.  A simple way to take vanilla if you do not have the bean is  to add  1 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract to 8 ounces of water before going to bed.  A man who suffered with migraines for 40 years, found this was the best remedy.
1.  NIGELLA SATIVA - BLACK CUMIN PROTOCOL FOR MIGRAINES.

For 15 years I suffered with migraines.  I like the main photo at the top of this website wanted to cut a hole in my head to let the pressure out.  I was in so much pain.  I tried everything and was on a medicine called fiorinal.  It became totally useless after years of use.  It makes you extremely sick too.  When the fiorinal did not work I would have to go to the hospital and get an injection.  But then the injections failed to help.  My migraines went into cluster headaches which lasted for around 4 days.  I prayed for the day I did not have to go to work when I was sick.  I use to put a sign on my desk that I had a migraine, so people would know to stay far away.

When I came to Jordan I brought a 3 week supply, knowing I could get a replacement here.  WRONG!!  They just did not have anything for migraines.  After I ran out of medicine I was extremely sick and in awful pain.  I got so sick I was passing out.  My neighbors told my husband I had to go to the hospital.  My husband took me to a local doctor who ran some lab tests and nothing showed up.  I came home so frustrated.  My sister-in-law came and told me about a little black seed called haba-al=barakah (Nigella Sativa).

She told me to take some honey and add some ground seeds to the honey.  So my husband brought me some Iraq fresh honey and I mixed the two together.  It was real thick like chocolate.  I ate it like candy.  After a few weeks I told my husband "Hey, I have not had a migraine in weeks."  The rest is history.  From that day, some 20 years ago, I have never had another migraine.  Multiple clients and family members, like my sister have all been migraine free.

         MY RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS

2.  STAYING HYDRATED. 
The truth is most people just simply are not drinking enough water.  Water is a free commodity for most and will help you stay headache free.  Coffee, sugary drinks and alcohol will make you dehydrated and cause you to have headaches.

You can also keep hydrated with some fruits and veggies too.  Try eating some cucumbers, celery radishes, cabbage, zucchini
cauliflower, eggplant, strawberries, melon, spinach, grapefruit and oranges. 

There was a study done at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery that concluded that there is indeed a water-deprivation headache. The study noted that while water deprivation is common and recognized by the public, it’s not described in medical literature. The research indicates that headaches from a lack of water include impaired concentration and irritability, too!

It is important to keep hydrated and drink up to avoid a headache.
3.  DRINK SOME CARROT JUICE

Carrot juice is a juice we normally think of as being a cancer remedy, but in this case it is recommended for migraines and headaches.    Carrot juice is detoxing also.  As you detox, you clean your system. 

Here are the suggested juices:

1.  200ml of spinach juice to 300ml of carrot juice.
2.  100ml of beet and cucumber juice to 300ml of carrot juice.
4.  Apple Cider Vinegar and Honey

Although Apple Cider is acidic it is considered to be one of the best detoxing superfoods.  When you add that with healing honey, you can now see how this would work to help in ridding migraines.  Apple Cider Vinegar is a  detox and can be placed in your bathwater also. 

Apple Cider Vinegar is great at  controlling blood sugar, regulating high blood pressure, reducing bone pain, promoting weight loss and relieving constipation.
This drink is also a blood purifier as told to me by one healer from the Ozarks.  You take one glass of water, add in a pinch of cayenne and 1 teaspoon of honey.  Drink this daily to prevent migraines and headaches.
5.  Hot and Cold Showers

I have to say this is one of my favorites.  A hot shower will relax your mind and help you to forget the pain.  I do not like the cold shower side but it works.  Do you know this is part of Dr. Richard Schultze protocol too for healing.  Many of you have heard of the Schulze Liver Flush. 

Not only are hot showers good for pain, they are also a go to remedy for sciatica and back pain also.  The hotter the water, the better.
6.  Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs

One of the first things I did for migraines and gallbladder problems too was acupuncture.

According to the Canadian Medical Association a study of 500 people was conducted and with acupuncture alone the incidence of migraines was reduced 50%.  So before the study began people got migraines approximately 6 days a month. After the study with acupuncture, they reduced the incidence to 3 days a month. 
The man who worked on me had gone to China, but was not Chinese.  He not only gave me acupuncture treatments, he gave me a bag of herbs to take and let me tell you, the bag included dirt.  He believe that healing came from the soil.  I completely ended my gall bladder problems with this treatment and helped my migraines too.
7.  Night Googles - Dark Room

When you have a migraine or headache sleeping in a completely dark room is imperative.  I found a pair of sleep goggles work best.  They will block out all the light in the room.

The next thing I do is to put 3 or 4 curtains on the window to make a completely dark room.  Any glimpse of light will hurt you and cause you pain.
Look for the heaviest curtains you can find.  Sew them together at the top (2 layers behind the main curtain).  That way you only have two curtain rods.  If you will look for dark colored curtains, this is best.  For the best rest, use the best mattress.
8.  Magnesium

One of the top solutions for migraines and headaches is magnesium.  You can take the supplements, but what I like best is the oil that is diluted in half and sprayed on the bottom of the feet.

There is a great book on Magnesium that I recommend. It is called Transdermal Magnesium Therapy by Marcus Sirus.
This book will tell you how to use the magnesium and the kinds to avoid.  He always suggests the oil first.  There was a man who had a daughter with Cipro poisoning.  She was completely disabled and was able to walk and totally recover after two weeks of using the magnesium oil. 
9.  Lavender Essential Oils

Lavender is a safe and effective migraine treatment.  Research from 2012 showed that participants could inhale the vapors and have their migraines improve greatly. 

The 47 participants inhaled the vapors for 15 minutes and then were asked to record their results every half hour.  Out of 129 attacks, 92 were shown to react favorably to the lavender oil treatment.
To inhale the lavender oils, add 2 to 3 drops to a pan of boiling water.   Place a towel over your head and inhale in.  You can also add a few drops to your skin.  You can also mix a few drops of peppermint with the lavender oil and massage into the skin.  If the smell is not desirable, then you can add the essential oils to some coconut oil and massage in the skin.  A perfect skin lotion is shea butter and coconut oil.
10.  Ginger Tea and More

Ginger tea is great for migraines, but a better solution is to chew on a piece of fresh ginger.  The taste is hot and you will see immediate relief.

You can also munch of some healthy ginger snaps.  Another solution is to mince some fresh ginger and add it to a glass of juice.
Research from  2013 showed that ginger was effective on the  treatment of common migraines.

Ginger blocks prostaglandins, which are chemicals that promote muscle contractions, impact hormones and regulate inflammation in blood vessels in the brain.
11.  Avoid All Forms of Chocolate

Many migraine sufferers have reported that certain foods trigger their migraines.   Chocolate and its derivatives are included in that group.   Approximately 22% listed chocolate and cocoa as a trigger for their migraines.

But Dr. Rosen, International Headache Society, suggests that chocolate may be getting a bad rap.  She suggests that the patients merely had a hunger spell prior to the headache and blamed chocolate for their problem, when really it was not a cause at all.
​
12.  Cayenne to the Rescue

Cayenne has long been used for pain in cancer and other diseases.  In USA Today, they reported that cayenne was the most used spice in the world.  

But besides cooking, it is used in natural medicine.  Both Native Americans and the Chinese have long used cayenne for natural treatments.

Cayenne Pepper is great for migraine and headache pain as it stimulates circulation and improves blood flow.  It contains capsaicin, which is a natural pain killer.

Add 1/3 to 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to cup of hot water and sip this to reliever the pain.  You may need to start out slow in order to get use to the taste.  While cayenne pepper is hot to the tongue, it does not affect the stomach. 

I suggest and use myself 35K from Startwest Botanicals.  You can also order the creams.
