THE CAUSE OF MIGRAINES

No one really knows what causes a migraine headache.  It is believed that migraines begin with excitement of nerve cells in the brain.  The excited nerves send out impulses that in turn cause the release of substances that  result in swelling and inflammation of blood vessels in the brain.  Over ten percent of the adult population in the United States suffer from chronic migraine pain.  Most episodes last from three hours to three full days. In addition, many who experience regular migraine pain also suffer from nausea, vomiting and extreme sensitivity to light.

WHAT SETS OFF A MIGRAINE?

Patients who experience Migraine pain report a variety of things that set them off.  Hormonal cycles and changes in women top the list. Stress, problems with sleep, diet , alcohol and even environmental factors can trigger a migraine.  Its interesting to note that many who suffer chronic migraine headaches often know in advance , sometimes by as much as eight hours. They report a craving for sweets, a mood change, they feel tired or they are just not themselves.

TREATING A MIGRAINE

Many use over-the-counter medications with varying degrees of success. Ibuprofen, aspirin and acetaminophen are the most commonly used OTC medications.  Triptans are the most frequently used prescription medications to treat a migraine at the onset. Triptans are designed to constrict the blood vessels in the brain in an attempt to relieve the throbbing pain. Other prescription drugs are taken on a daily basis to try to prevent onset altogether. Many people try all natural products in an attempt to find relief from their migraines.  Until now, with all natural Micranium, there hasn't been a consistently effective all natural alternative for migraine relief.

It is important to many people to try to find migraine relief, not through prescription medications, but rather through an alternative, all natural product.
