PMS headache getting you down?
With migraine headache natural remedies, you can forget about canceling plans for going out tonight.
Headaches aren’t supposed to be part of your menstrual period. Headaches aren’t supposed to be part of your life either. No one should get headaches; they’re a sign of something that’s wrong.
Usually headaches are from not eating a meal when the blood sugar levels fall. They can also be from hormonal fluctuations, such as what happends before or during your period.
Headaches can also be from stress or lack of sleep. Headaches could also be a result of your neck being out of alignment. Thus, to find your best remedy, consider the cause of the headaches.
Here are 5 effective remedies for PMS headaches:
1. Go for hormone regulation with chaste berry herb.
Go to the health food store, ask for the chaste berry herb in a 10:1 extract, and take the equivalency of 100 mg twice daily. This herb works well for hormonal headaches. Of all the herbal remedies you can try for PMS headache, this one is one of the best natural remedies you could try.
2. Go for stress reduction.
Stress reduction starts by reducing cortisol levels, and many adaptogenic herbs will do this, reducing stress and eliminating your headache. Some types of adaptogenic herbs include Suma, Brazilian ginseng; Ashwaghanda, and Red ginseng (Korean ginseng). There are many more but these are the best to start with. Dosage of adaptogenic herbs is usually two capsules twice daily.
3. Level out your blood sugar levels.
Eating junk food and processed food is only good for a few things and they are all bad things – aging, causing degenerative diseases, and making you crave foods while causing headaches when your blood sugar levels go low.
You can level out your blood sugar just by stopping the junk food and processed food. Another way to level out your blood sugar levels is to count your carbohydrates in every meal and not eat any more than 30 grams. This is the level that helps give you level blood sugar levels.
Another way to keep the blood sugar levels in the normal zone is to eat enough protein at meals, too. The right amount is at least 3 ounces and could be 4 ounces or more depending on your height and weight.
4. Get some extra sleep.
Sleep releases the hormone melatonin, which has all types of positive effects in the body on immunity, inflammation, biorhythms, and has anti-breast cancer properties. When you’re tired, it’s easy to tense your head muscles and develop a headache. Plan on getting extra sleep when your period is a few days away to keep away a headache. Take 5 mg melatonin if you need a sleep agent, not drugs.
5. Try a period vitamin.
A Period Vitamin is a supplement that contains vitamins and minerals and herbs that are formulated for your body to stay healthy during your period. This supplement includes vitamin B complex, calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin E, and herbs like red raspberry herb.
These ingredients can help prevent PMS symptoms of all sorts, such as cramps, headaches, irritability, edema (swelling), insomnia, and skin breakouts.
Here’s an additional tip: vitamin B6 in doses of 50 mg can also help with PMS headaches. It can also help you get some good sleep at night, and reduce your stress. Count vitamin B6 as another home remedy along with the other 5 effective remedies.
