Well, we are so happy to report that this, and applying ice to the area, has been a game changer! He keeps track of the pressure changes to stay ahead and keeps the foam earplugs nearby. There is a product being sold [weatherx] but it is way more expensive than a packet of foam earplugs and they say the product is only good for 2 weeks after opening.
My husband tried that one also but it is very uncomfortable and seems gimmicky.
I hope this is helpful. Sometimes he gets a migraine at inconsistent, odd times where it could be food, alcohol or stress related. And it just gets tiring to keep track and follow thru on different protocols, so he’ll stick to his ice packs, ear plugs and vitamin stack because those are the healthiest options. We are also self-employed and that gives him the freedom to just take the day off so he can rest and recuperate and stay off drugs that damage the liver.
EARTHCLINIC has been our go-to for natural remedies for over a decade. We are so grateful for this resource of information and to all those who contribute - words cannot express the value derived here.

Earth Clinic saved me again! Yesterday afternoon I had bright zigzag colorful flashing in both eyes. I recognized the symptom immediately and closed all the shades to block the bright sunlight, got on earth clinic to see what they suggest. The one that stood out was the breathing into a paper bag, I thought why not? So I followed the directions breathing in and out for maybe 5 minutes and stopped. I figured it wouldn't work so I closed my eyes waiting for the nausea to begin. But then the aura disappeared! I still waited for the next step,,, nothing! The only thing I felt was like being washed out, weak. That's all! I am so amazed! I'm 71 and was worried that it might be a possible stroke, but I'm fine. Thank you Earth Clinic!!

My wife had terrible migraine headaches since she was a child. I heard that rescue 1250 eliminated migraines. She started taking it and they gradually went away. It was years later that she noticed and we talked about it.

On my long journey with ocular migraines and headaches, an acquaintance suggested replacing LED lightbulbs with incandescent lightbulbs to prevent headaches. It simply never occurred to me that this new LED technology might be contributing to my migraines in some way.
Anyway, to cut a long story short - my lightbulbs in my living areas, particularly my reading lamps, now have incandescent lightbulbs in them. The difference is night and day. The light is so much more natural and calming. I have not had a migraine in months and I attribute this solely to using incandescent lightbulbs. Hope this information can help someone.

From the Book: A Friend in Need, Facts worth knowing about ARM & HAMMER BAKING SODA as a proven medical agent 1925.
Source: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/A_Friend_in_Need
“Bicarbonate of Sodium” (Baking Soda)… “is largely used as an antacid in gastric fermentation and in sick headaches arising from this condition.” Dissolve one teaspoonful of Bicarbonate of Soda in a glass of cold water and drink.
Note: A "sick headache" is a term for a headache accompanied by nausea and vomiting, often used as a nontechnical name for a bad migraine. While it can be a general term, it's most commonly associated with severe, throbbing headaches that may include other symptoms like sensitivity to light and sound, and sometimes vomiting.
The Journal of the Oklahoma State Medical Association, p. 367. 1917

I know it is not really a very natural remedy, however, Nasal Spray has been a life saver at times for my ocular migraines. I use just one spray per nostril. I had viewed a youtube video that recommended trying it to relieve pressure on a certain nerve up behind the nasal cavities. When it works, it works quickly, in about 5 minutes. I cannot say that it always helps, but I would say about 60-70% of the time my vision is back to normal in about 5 minutes. It could be beneficial for you as well. I would not take the nasal spray daily, only occasionally because there can be side effects.

I have a strange story to tell. Early last week I developed a blistering headache/migraine after working on a sick person (if I had known they were sick, I wouldn’t have gone near her). I had never experienced so much head pain before in my life and everyday to got worse. Even my hair hurt to touch it. I had to stop wearing my baseball cap it hurt so bad.
None of my usual tricks to heal myself were working. I had a brain storm and decided to go completely of the reservation. Rosemary oil!
I took a 2 oz. sprayer, filled it with 1 oz. warm water and 20 drops rosemary oil. Shook it til mixed and went to the shower. Ran hot water over my head for awhile, then sprayed my wet hair with the rosemary mixture. Moving my hair around so it makes contact with my scalp. I have short hair so 1 oz. did one treatment for me. Adjust formula according to your needs. After the spray bottle was empty and my hair was completely saturated including my scalp, forehead, around both ears and neck. I got out of the shower and left the mixture on my scalp to air dry and went to bed. Expect to have crazy dreams… I did.
When I woke up. The pain and brain fog I was experiencing had decreased by about 50%. So I decided to repeat the experiment again the following night. Again the head pain and fog decreased again.
Tonight is my 3rd night and again decreased.
What I noticed over the past few days is that rosemary oil does help a lot with headaches/migraines and brain fog. Also, my hair was really soft and thicker too.
Now, how did I come up with this?
The first records of rosemary's use as a medicinal herb date back to ancient times in the civilizations surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. The herb was thought to have strong effects on memory and in strengthening the mind.
Rosemary has a tremendous variety of folk uses and mythology associated with it and a number of snippets from folk lore. It has particularly been strongly connected to memory and remembrance since ancient times. The main historical medicinal uses of Rosemary have been as a tonic to the brain and as a gently cleansing liver medicine.
Andrew Chevallier writes 'Rosemary is a well-known and greatly valued herb that is native to Southern Europe. It has been used since antiquity to improve and strengthen the memory. To this day it is burned in the homes of students in Greece who are about to take exams. Rosemary has a longstanding reputation as a tonic, invigorating herb, imparting a zest for life that is to some degree reflected in its distinctive aromatic taste'
Chinese physicians used Rosemary for headaches, indigestion, insomnia and malaria. Rosemary is also much used in European traditional medicine to strengthen the heart and blood vessels and there is a keen appreciation in this old culture of Rosemary being a herb that clears congestion in the liver and gall-bladder thereby lifting the mood and resolving 'liverishness'
Rudolph Weiss says 'Rosemary has a general tonic effect on the circulation and nervous system, especially the vascular nerves; it is therefore effective in treating all chronic circulatory debilities, including hypotension (low blood pressure). It is particularly effective in asthenic young adults who are pale and lack physical stamina...' Rosemary can be used for treatment of general and post-infectious debility in older patients'.
Thomas Bartram writes that Rosemary's actions include 'antibacterial, anti-depressant, antiseptic, circulatory tonic, diffusive stimulant, diuretic, sedative, mild substitute for benzodiazepine drugs. Used in European pharmacy to strengthen the heart and allay arteriosclerosis' and he suggests its uses can include 'migraine headaches, or those from high blood pressure. Headaches of gastric origin or emotional upset, psychogenic depression, cardiac debility, giddiness, hyperactivity, tremor of the limbs, flitting pains from joint to joint. To strengthen blood vessels by decreasing capillary fragility and permeability'
The medical properties may have been over-rated by old Parkinson the herbalist (John Parkinson 1567–1650), but some are recognised even to this day. Thus rosemary is used as an infusion to cure headaches, and is believed to be an extensive ingredient in hair-restorers. It is also one of the ingredients in the manufacture of Eau-de-Cologne, and has many other uses in the form of oil of rosemary. ‘The rosemary is for married men, the which by name, nature, and continued use, man challengeth as properly belonging to himself. It overtoppeth all the flowers in the garden boasting man's rule; it helpeth the brain, strengtheneth the memory, and is very medicinal for the head.
Rosemary worn about the body was believed to strengthen the memory and to add to the success of the wearer in anything he might undertake.
It is as an emblem of remembrance that rosemary is most frequently used by the old poets. Thus Ophelia:
‘There is rosemary for you, that's for remembrance; I pray you, love, remember.'
And in The Winter's Tale:
‘For you there's rosemary and rue; these keep Seeming and savour all the winter long; Grace and remembrance be with you both.'
In the 17th century, Nicholas Culpepper wrote in his herbal that rosemary helps “diseases of the head and brain, as the giddiness and swimmings therin, drowsiness or dulness, the dumb palsy, or loss of speech, the lethargy, the falling sickness… It helps a weak memory and quickens the senses.

I can only assume the message is for someone else as I haven't had a migraine in years. So, if you have migraines, hydrate. That's how you flush out heavy metals that can only accumulate in organs, systems and areas of the brain that are in the process of being sacrificed as the dehydrated body rations what little water has to keep your heart, lungs and brain functioning well enough to keep you upright and conscious enough to go find water.

I speculate that if you have osteoarthritis which is caused by systemic infection, that will also contribute. You can take minocycline for osteoarthritis.
I realize the neuralgia makes your life very miserable so I hope this added information will help solve the puzzle.

In the last few years, maybe only 1 bad migraine a year but what was a game changer to start with was a ketogenic diet, basically very low carbs, no sugar at all, just carbs I get in things like brocolli, spinach, yogurt, nuts. All I can eat to on Keto.
Then I began a supplement regime just 7 days ago recommended by Art in California but I never mentioned the nagging migraine pain every day of my life in the last few years. It's because I could pop a couple of tylenol, aspirin, or ibuprofen to end them within 30 minutes. I was just so focused on issues I that were way more nagging and no fix so far.
At this point, because I am still on the same foods that seemed to keep me with mild migraine, but started the supplements for other issues I'll list below, I think I've found I do not need aspirin as there are no more pains in my temple, usually left one. I'm thinking something I've added in is blocking the pain. I just don't know and want to stick with the 5 supps so I can let Art know if they are working for my other issues. Of course letting him know if my lack of head-pain keeps on.
Just hoping we can figure out what I'm taking that might be helping, I'm also knocking on wood here because if anyone here has experienced what they've called classic migraine and even hemoplegic (I also get aphasia with the bad ones) they will know the pain. I also usually had bad nausea during the pain part of a full-blow migraine.
Here are the supps I'm taking according to dose on the bottles:
Magnesium citrate 1000mg in 2 doses https://www.earthclinic.com/supplements/magnesium.html
ALA 600mg in 2 doses https://www.earthclinic.com/supplements/ala.html
Lutein 40mg 1 a day https://www.earthclinic.com/mobile/cures/eyes-vision/lutein/)
Vitamin D-3 1 a day https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/art-solbrig-protocol-for-memory-loss.html
Citicoline 250 1 a day https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/art-solbrig-protocol-for-memory-loss.html#ar_192059
I want to do more of Art's Protocol on memory loss but I am starting out slowly, for one thing, I can't afford everything at once, and also, I need to watch closely for side-effects. Seems if there are any, I seems to get them. I have my MD appointment on Friday 3/9/2023. My doc will probably order more labs since he'll be told my new supplements etc. I get regular labs for cholesterol and HbA1c for my type 2 diabetes, no meds, just food and supps.
Sorry this is so long, and I just put 3 stars because I am new at a review, only 7 days but sort of profound how I'm no longer having to take aspirin every day which is dangerous for many reasons. Denise
PS I also should add I've been doing a tsp of turmeric a day, heaping tsp collagen powder, tsp of nutritional yeast, tsp of flaxseed, tsp of chia seed, which I still had the headache and I didn't do any of those except turmeric for inflammation.

I've had a Cefaly neuromodulation device for about 2 years. It was almost unendurable to use at first, probably due to this over sensitisation effect. I used it as recommended, daily, for the first month or two but I admit I slackened off and used it only occasionally thereafter. Gradually it became easier to use and I restarted the daily use this year. Only then did it really work. I've had only one migraine in the last two months (usually average 13 per month).
It's not cheap (about £300) and the electrodes have to be bought regularly (they last longer if you're scrupulous about cleaning your brow before use, and putting them straight back on their plastic sheet afterwards). However, this device has broken a chronic migraine condition that's lasted decades.
I should add, I've been careful never to overuse migraine medicines, though I suspect the bar is set too high, especially for ergotamine-containing meds and some people can probably go into overuse while keeping well within the recommended limits.
Eliminating any source of inflammation, so far as possible, also has a role to play. Gum health is critical and food intolerances should be explored.
I also take a couple of supplements and it's taken a few years to hit on a combo that seems to work for me. Magnesium L-Threonate, a B multi; and Vitamin D in Winter. I do better without the high dose vitamin B2 recommended by headache doctors.

I've had no chilli or cayenne for 2 weeks, and though it's too early to be sure (migraine is unpredictable. I do occasionally, though rarely, have 2 weeks without an attack) so far so good.

I have suffered migraine headaches since I was 30 years old. They identified were so bad that I would vomit. I have used Sumatriptan to abort a migraine, which normally works. I am now 50 and am going through menopause. While I believe that my migraines are hormonal in nature and may be ameliorated by a change in my hormone levels, I have had a much better time since having two cups of black tea each morning, and in each cup putting a spoonful of raw, local honey. I also cut way back on dairy, but I think it is the honey that has made my situation so much better (and made me really regular too! ) I am so pleased! I did not see honey here as a remedy for migraine, but I definitely think it is.
