5 Natural Remedies for Menstrual Migraines

There are several ways you could use this information in this article. You could try each natural method by itself for two months, keeping a diary of what happens. The problem is that your solution may not be found for another year if you do it this way.

Thus, a better way to try these natural remedies to prevent menstrual migraines is to try all of them at once. The reason why this is the best method is that researchers have discovered that most people who have migraines have multiple vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

So if you’re taking only one tablet of magnesium daily, that’s a good thing, but you’re neglecting the other six or seven nutrients that you’re low in. In essence, you’re worsening your other vitamin and mineral deficiencies by not addressing them. (Vitamin and mineral deficiencies worsen with time, and never get better on their own.)

Each of the natural ways to get rid of menstrual migraines on this list may work on its own. However, it’s easier to take all of them for three to four months, eliminate your migraines and then back of the supplements one by one, with the exception of the period vitamin. You’ll stay on that to provide your body’s minimal needs during its menstrual cycle.

Natural PMS Migraine Relief Method #1. Magnesium

Take two 300 mg tablets of magnesium daily, one in the morning and one at night. The type of magnesium can be magnesium glycinate, magnesium citrate, or magnesium oxide. Take them at the end of a meal.

Natural PMS Migraine Relief Method #2. Coenzyme Q10

Take 100 mg Coenzyme Q10 once daily, at the end of your meal. It can be any meal.

Natural PMS Migraine Relief Method #3. Zinc

Take 50 mg zinc citrate or glycinate or sulphate once daily at the end of a meal. Take another 25 mg zinc (same type) that also includes 2 mg copper in it at the end of another meal.

Natural PMS Migraine Relief Method #4. Vitamin B Complex

Take a 25 mg B complex formula daily in the morning at the end of your first meal. A 25 mg B complex means there is 25 mg vitamin B1, 25 mg vitamin B2, and 25 mg vitamin B6 in the formula. There should be more than 25 mg niacin or vitamin B3 in the formula. Your formula also must have at least 400 mcg folic acid, 300 mcg biotin, and 10 mg pantothenic acid. It must also contain vitamin B12, inositol, choline, and PABA.

Natural PMS Migraine Relief Method #5. Period Vitamin

Taking a period vitamin is like adding a multivitamin/mineral / herbal formula that is designed for women who are having their period. Your needs for nutrients are much different than men your own age, your mother, and your grandmother, so don’t expect that by taking the same vitamin/mineral supplement they take, you are making a wise choice.

When you take this, you take it once daily. The best time to take it is with your breakfast meal or your lunch. If you take it for breakfast, take your B complex at another time of the day – with another meal. The reason for this is that the B vitamins are water-soluble and whatever you don’t need will be excreted. Why not provide B vitamins twice daily instead of once? The period vitamin also contains B vitamins. This way you are getting benefits to decrease stress for a good 8 hours of the day instead of three to four.

Take all the supplements for at least two months. You’ll see a big difference in your migraines during your period. This natural help you are providing is a good step forward in figuring out how to manipulate your own health.
