What Is A Migraine?
To most people, headaches appear as a mild inconvenience that may or may not briefly interrupt
their day. Many are able to take a few aspirin and no more than 20 minutes later they are back on
track. Unfortunately, not everyone experiences such mild symptoms. Millions of men and
women of all ages suffer from an intense headache, also known as a migraine, which can literally
leave them temporarily immobilized. For those that have never experienced a migraine, it is
difficult to imagine just how painful one can be.
Migraine headaches are a chronic neurological disorder caused by an enlargement of blood
vessels in the brain. This results in a release of a series of chemicals which attack the arteries in
the brain. The effect of these swollen arteries
manifests as painful symptoms which
continue to magnify until the arteries have
stopped expanding, indicating some form of
relief has been found.
Migraine headaches are often spurred by daily
activities that seem small and insignificant but
can actually increase the onset of a migraine,
such as cleaning or doing yard work. Migraine
headaches often start revealing signs several
hours and even days before attacking in full force. Many find that a dark room and quiet bed are
the first steps necessary to feeling better, which lessens effects of the activated sympathetic
nervous system.
The sympathetic nervous system is associated with the desires, feelings and emotions that come
naturally to humans as a way of dealing or coping with stress and pain. Once activated, the
sympathetic nervous system develops symptoms that hinder ones functionality at work and at
home.
Migraines inflict more than twenty million people in the United States alone. The sufferers
family tends to suffer as well; affected both financially and emotionally. Due to the loss of

income from a person unable to work due to illness, the productivity around the home lessening,
and valuable time being cut short as a result of the painful symptoms associated with migraine
headaches; it is a family affair.
What Are The Symptom Of A Migraine?
Symptoms of a migraine headache can vary from moderate to intense and can affect people
differently, however, listed below are the more common symptoms associated with and
described by migraine headache sufferers.
An intense throbbing, pounding feeling typically located on one side of the forehead (often
referred to as unilateral pain, meaning it is felt on one specific side)
Pain in the back of the head
Pain right above one eye
Reports have shown that about one-third of migraine headaches are described as being felt on
both sides of the head, also referred to as bilateral
Migraine pains often alternate sides from one attack to the next
If you have frequent migraine attacks on the same side of the head please speak with your
doctor immediately as this could imply something more serious is occurring. Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Paleness
Coldness in the hands and feet
Sensitivity to light and sound
The pain associated with a migraine is so intense that the inflicted person is increasingly
sensitive to light and sound. It can be painful to open ones eyes, performing tasks with a
migraine intensifies the symptoms, and nausea is also very common. Most sufferers find
themselves debilitated; utterly unable to function or work while dealing with a migraine. Taking

necessary measures before the symptoms get bad often help lessen the effects associated with a
migraine. Being aware of the signals that a migraine is about to occur will help with these
measures, and a shocking 40% of most migraines have preemptive signs.
Preemptive Warning Signs
Migraine headaches are often a recurring condition. It can be very helpful to the individuals who
suffer from frequent migraines to become familiar with the warning signs that a migraine is in
the process of developing. By recognizing the warning signs or symptoms commonly related to a
migraine, the sufferer is better able to prepare emotionally and physically for the onset of intense
head pain. Preparation can limit the immobilizing effect that a migraine headache can have by
allowing preventative measure to be taken for migraine relief. If left untreated migraines can last
up to seventy-two hours. Preventative steps can help limit the amount of time taken away from
work and family.
Since most migraines sufferers experience migraines on a recurring basis, it is important to be
aware of what the preemptive warning signs are. This is the most effective way to lessen the
chances of suffering from an intense migraine that will render one immobile. The warning signs
are often and easily overlooked or explained away. However, if these warning signs are noted
and charted migraine symptoms can become less apparent and sometimes migraines can even be
stopped before they get started.
Drowsiness
Sudden irritability or changes in mood
Fatigue
Bouts of depression
Obsessive yawning
Cravings for foods high in sugar or salt

It is very easy to overlook many of these symptoms and they do go unnoticed by most. Those
that suffer with frequent migraine headaches should take note of the warnings signs, chart them
and prepare for the onset of a migraine headache.
How Can I Tell The Difference Between A Headache And A Migraine?
Headaches and migraines both have similar painful symptoms, so how do you differentiate
between the two? Though both a headache and a migraine have certain similarities, there are a
few distinct characteristics that set the two apart.
Headaches attack quickly and with no warning
Headaches typically do not render one immobile or unproductive
Migraines can last up to three days, headaches tend to go away after a few hours
Headache pain is less intense and is generally felt all over the head
Pain and irritability do occur with a headache but typically reside after over the counter
medicine is consumed; migraine sufferers do not have such a quick and easy rebound,
even with medicine
Feelings of nausea, dizziness, sensitivity to light and sound are all characteristics of a
migraine and will not be present with a headache
Most headaches are short lived and present no cause for real concern. There are cases when a
headache causes severe tension in the facial muscles, putting a strain on the neck, shoulders and
eyes. Such headaches are called tension headaches and can be treated with over the counter
medication. Headaches and the associated pain effect around forty million people in the United
States yearly, making headaches a common complaint and ailment.
Diagnosing Migraines
Migraines are not yet fully understood. Scientific research is constantly unveiling new
information evolving around the topic of migraines and new data is regularly tested and
8/13/2019 Migraine Treatment Myths Revealed PDF

recorded. The diagnosis of migraines is often marked by recurring symptoms that appear often
and are strong enough to warrant concern. Other factors taken into consideration are gender, age
and family history.
Headaches and migraines tend to follow a pattern. If you are experiencing any kind of pain or
symptom which causes home and work life to become unmanageable, see your physician to
ensure that there is not something more complex going on with your nervous system. Hearing
loss, vision impairment and any other sensory issues are not commonly related to headaches and
migraines alone, and can indicate a much more serious problem.
Common Migraine Triggers
There are various factors that can trigger a migraine and each individual persons t rigger is
different. Though many clinical studies and much research has been done to understand what
causes chronic migraines, doctors and scientists have found no pinpoint to the exact cause.
Migraine triggers differ from person to person, as well as from male to female. For example, a
woman may experience a migraine during her monthly menstrual cycle as a result of the
decrease in estrogen which affects her normal blood levels. These migraines are often referred to
as menstrual migraines, and obviously do not inflict men.
Other common migraine triggers are environmental influence or physiological upset. Factors
such as stress, sleep, smells and food can all have a vast effect on the onset of a migraine. Take
note of the migraine triggers listed below; clinical studies have shown that being aware of the
triggers can help lessen the risk and effects of a migraine.
Triggers
Stress:It makes little difference whether it is stress from daily routines or stress caused
from a traumatic event, any stress on the body or mind can easily upset a migraine
trigger.

Sleep: Sleep habits have a big effect on migraine sufferers. Whether it is too much sleep,
broken up sleep, or sleep deprivation, all are greatly connected to the onset of a migraine.
Studies have shown that when sleeping habits are improved, migraine headaches become
less frequent and intense, and occur for shorter periods.
Fasting: Those prone to headaches and migraines should always heed caution when
taking part in any form of fasting. A lack of nutrients to the body can reduce blood sugar
levels, which quickly sets off a series of stress-related hormones, often leading to
migraines and headaches.
Hormones: As previously discussed, many women experience menstrual migraines,
migraines caused by a chemical imbalance due to the loss and fluctuation of estrogen.
The women who experience these migraines can actually predict a migraine coming on,
and can prepare accordingly.
Lighting: Neon lights, bright lights and flashing lights along with any other visually
stimulating high intensity lights can all play a factor in the development of a migraine.
Smells: Cigarette smoke, smoke in general, perfumes, foods and other potent smells can
all trigger a migraine.
Alcohol: Alcohol is dehydrating and also contains different chemicals which can easily
trigger a migraine attack. Tyramine is a chemical found in wine that has been proven to
activate the sympathetic nervous system, often resulting in a migraine.
Foods: Aged cheese, chocolate and dairy products have been linked to migraines in some
people. Different foods will have the same negative effect on certain people dependent on
a case by case circumstance.
Caffeine: Caffeine can have several effects on those prone to migraines. Too much
caffeine can induce a migraine. People who drink caffeine daily can also have the
opposite effect, and too little caffeine might also spur a migraine.

frequency of migraines, options for medication offered for migraine relief and safe alternative
treatments.
Are Migraines Preventable?
The options for migraine prevention are limited. As discussed, there are certain preemptive signs
that a migraine is approaching, and an individual can attempt to take it easy in the days prior.
There are also a few steps one can take to reduce the chances of developing a migraine such as
avoiding migraine triggers as much as possible, and preventative medication.
To avoid all possible migraine triggers is not 100 percent effective and can become a tedious task
on a daily basis. Figuring out your own personal migraine triggers and learning more about
migraine prevention is a good first step, and new information has surfaced regarding migraine
relief so the chances of finding relief are becoming more and more possible.
Approaches to Migraine Prevention
Chronic migraine sufferers can take several approaches to lessen the intensity and pain level of
their migraines. Individuals that suffer from mild migraines on rare occasions tend to treat their
migraine with over-the-counter medications. Caffeine, Aspirin and Acetaminophen are common
ingredients in these OTC medications and taken occasionally work well for temporary relief.
Though after years of chronic migraines many sufferers find these medication lose their
effectiveness, and also take a toll on their liver and kidneys.
Over-the-counter medication can help relieve migraine pain temporarily and should be
administered as instructed by the manufacturer. There are two types of over the counter
medication.
1. Acetaminophen (a.k.a. Tylenol)
2. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
Acetaminophen

Acetaminophen is often taken to help reduce mild pain such as: headaches, backaches, muscle
aches, toothaches and even mild cold symptoms. Acetaminophen lowers the bodys core
temperature just enough to reduce and temporarily relieve pain. Be sure to use caution when
taking Acetaminophen becauseif taken in large doses over a long period of time damage can be
caused to the liver and the kidneys.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID)
NSAID is typically used in conditions where chronic pain is felt. The purpose of NSAID is to
relieve pain where inflammation has occurred. There are two forms of NSAID:
1. Aspirinexamples of over the counter medication that have aspirin would be:
a. Aleve
b. Motrin
c. Excedrin
2. Non-Aspirinexamples of non-aspirin over the counter pills would include:
a. Ibuprofen
b. Advil
c. Motrin IB
Aspirin is a blood thinner that prevents the platelets from becoming blocked and forming blood
clots. It is often used among those with heart problems to prevent heart attacks and strokes.
Taken in large doses it increases blood flow and can be dangerous if one is inflicted with an open
wound as bleeding out is a risk.
Occasionally medicating with over-the-counter medicine can be an ideal way to treat a migraine
for those that dont suffer from them chronically. As stated, these medications do take a toll on
certain organs and have long term effects if too much is taken. There are cases that need a more
drastic approach for the treatment of chronic migraines. These approaches could include
prescription medication, migraine surgery or nerve muscle removal.
Prescription Medication

It is important that migraine sufferers realize that medication prescribed for migraine relief is not
a cure for migraine headaches themselves but are used for one or both of two purposes:
1. Relieve Symptoms
2. Prevent Attacks
Keep in mind that no prescription medication can prevent a migraine 100 percent but there are
prescription medications available that can help reduce the number of migraine attacks
experienced as well as lessen the level and intensity of the pain felt. A few commonly prescribed
medications for migraine relief include:
Anti-Depressants
Anti-Seizure Medication
Blood Pressure Medication
Prophylactic Medication
Prophylactic medicine is meant to be taken daily as a preventative medication. Prophylactic
medication is not effective at subsiding symptoms once a migraine has developed. The main
purpose of Prophylactic medication is to reduce the frequency of migraines. A few examples of
Prophylactic medicines are:
Beta Blockers
Calcium-channel Blockers
Tricyclic Antidepressants
Antiserotonin Agents
Anticonvulsants

A Closer Look at Prescription
Medication
The experience of a migraine is brought
on when the body undergoes a
physiological change. The body begins to
feel discomfort and unease when
physiological changes occur creating a
need inside the body for relief. Over-the-
counter medication might help provide temporary pain relief, but this type of treatment does not
fix the underlying physiological changes that repetitively create a migraine.
Prescription medication should be used as one of the last treatment options attempted in helping
relieve migraine headaches. However, until recent years, migraine sufferers had very few options
in relieving their migraine pain. Many new prescription drugs are now being offered to migraine
sufferers.
Triptans
Triptans are used in certain new prescription medications geared toward relieving migraine
pressure. Triptans have two important abilities:
1. They are able to constrict blood vessels.
2. They create an upset in the process leading into a migraine by disturbing the sequence of
chemicals that inflict pain or irritation to the nerves.
Triptans are a collection of tryptamine-based drugs. Tryptamine is a monoamine alkaloid that
can be found in certain vegetation such as plants, fungi and animals. Triptans are used as a tool
to prevent migraines from causing debilitating pain. Triptans consist of:
Sumatriptan (Imitrex, Imigran, Cinie, Illument, Migriptan)
Rizatriptan (Maxalt),
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumatriptanhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rizatriptanhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rizatriptanhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumatriptan8/13/2019 Migraine Treatment Myths Revealed PDF
13/22

Naratriptan (Amerge, Naramig)
Zolmitriptan (Zomig)
Eletriptan (Relpax)
Elmotriptan (Axert, Almogran)
Frovatriptan (Frova, Migard, Frovamig)
Avitriptan
Because of the unique ability Triptans possess to attach to the serotonin receptors on the blood
vessels and the surrounding nerves, they can help reduce and in some cases completely stop
migraine headaches from occurring. The most commonly used Triptan is Sumatriptan, and it also
has the longest history behind it backed with years of research and results. Sumatriptan can be
taken orally, by injection or through inhalation.
Triptans are typically prescribed to migraine sufferers who experience moderate to severe
migraine pain which affects and inhibits their daily lives. Most doctors will not prescribe
Triptans until other treatment options have been tested and ruled out as a feasible method.
If used correctly, Triptans reduce the intense pain of migraine headaches and the associated
symptoms. Triptans should be administered when the early signs and symptoms of a migraine
begin to be felt. If the migraine pain is already at its peak, a Triptan medication generally
relieves and reduces the pain as well as limiting the side effects associated with migraines.
As with nearly all pharmaceutical medication, the risks and side effects of Triptans should be
taken into consideration. The most common side effects associated with Triptans are as follows
but not limited to:
Drowsiness
Facial Reddening
Fatigue
Tightening In The Chest
Tightening In The Throat
Dizziness

Triptans relieve migraine pain by restricting or narrowing blood vessels in the brain, preventing
them from enlarging and creating a migraine headache. The downside and possible risk involved
with Triptans is they cannot be targeted specifically to only one area of the body, meaning they
can also create a narrowing of the arteries leading into and around the heart. This becomes
increasingly dangerous for individuals that have already experienced some form of coronary
narrowing and/or heart patients, possibly resulting in a heart attack or stroke. To prevent serious
complications, your doctor will likely complete a full body evaluation before prescribing
Triptans.
Ergots
Ergots and Triptans have many similarities as both restrict and narrow blood vessels. Triptans
tend to mainly constrict blood vessels in the brain, whereas Ergots are known to commonly
restrict blood vessels in other parts of the body, meaning they are a more dangerous option
treatment when compared to Triptans. Ergots have been known to induce nausea, vomiting and
contractions in the uterus making them very unsafe for pregnant women especially.
Migraine Surgery
Migraine surgery is a treatment option for those individuals whom do not respond well to
medication and whose quality of life is habitually hindered as a result of their migraine
headaches. Deciding to undergo migraine surgery is a serious risk and should not be taken
lightly. Migraine surgery entails a surgical cauterization of the superficial blood vessels in your
scalp in order to limit and possibly remove all signs of migraine pain forever. Before a procedure
this extensive is even considered, a highly trained specialist must first determine with absolute
certainty that it is indeed the superficial blood vessels causing the intense migraine pain before
operating.
Migraine Prevention Options
Selecting a migraine headache treatment plan can be a challenge; there are several options to
choose from and many can be life altering. Migraine treatment begins with trial and error and the

first several prevention methods may not work. Many people keep searching and testing out
various therapies until something clicks and finally works. If a migraine sufferer feels strongly
against the use of prescription medication, migraine surgery or any unnatural treatment, there are
other treatment options available as well.
For those searching for a safer and more natural approach to treating migraine headaches, the
following therapies have shown significant results in many individuals.
Chiropractic Manipulation
Physiotherapy
Massage Therapy
Acupuncture
All Natural Supplements
Migraine Support Formula
Simple Daily Steps to Help Reduce Migraine Occurrences
Individuals who suffer from moderate to intense migraine symptoms can take practical steps
every day to reduce the occurrence of migraines. By simply making or adding a few changes and
a normal routine, many will notice fewer migraine attacks by following some or all of these
simple steps:
A set scheduled time for going to bed and waking each morning.
Having a daily exercise regime: Exercise has proven to help improve the quality of life
for all individuals and especially those suffering from various conditions, from diabetes
to migraine headaches. Individuals who are not physically fit are more prone to migraine
attacks.
Avoid skipping meals and long bouts of fasting.
Avoid stress (as much as possible).
o Deep breathing techniques help improve anxiety levels and lessen daily stress.
o Tension relieving teas and magnesium supplements help lower stress levels.

Refrain from an over abundant use of caffeine. Do not consume more than two
caffeinated beverages a day.
Exercise can help release negative chemicals from the body and boosts endorphins,
research has proven that daily exercise can help improve mood and improve clarity of
thought.
Bright and flashing lights are often associated with migraines. Wear protective eyewear
(sunglasses) in the sun and try to avoid places with flashing lights.
Treating Migraine Pain Naturally
Finding a natural way to treat migraine headaches is a safer and healthier alternative than
prescription medication and other migraine treatment options. Prescription medication can be
addictive and have a negative physiological effect on other parts of the body, certain risk factors
can eventually and ultimately shorten ones life expectancy.
For centuries pharmaceutical medications did not exist, modern western medicine is still
relatively new. Our not-so-distant ancestors had to rely on natural methods and cures for a vast
range of ailments, and many of these methods are actually more effective than modern drugs and
surgeries. Herbs, flowers, seeds, leaves, roots, enzymes and even minerals have been used for
centuries to treat and cure painful symptoms. All possess powerful natural ingredients to help
increase good health and heal chronic conditions such as migraine headaches.
Many look for a quick fix to help with pain, which is a big reason prescription medications are so
popular. While prescription medication might provide instant relief to migraine sufferers, the
temporary relief doesnt always outweigh the longer term side effects and the quick fix does not
actually fix the problem. Natural alternative methods such as an all-natural supplement like
Migraine Support Formula can actually heal the underlying problem and eventually cure a
person from the debilitating effects of migraine headaches indefinitely.

Migraine Support Formula
Considering a new product for any sort of ailment brings with it the fear of product failure and
wasting money, preventing many from trying new things. Prescription medication and other
alternatives such as acupuncture and massage therapy are expensive and might end in frustration
with little to no pain relief. Migraine Support Formulacontains powerful natural ingredients
that have been carefully researched and clinically tested to provide migraine sufferers the
ultimate migraine relief.
Migraine Support Formula is a product first formulated as a result of the love one man has for
his wife. After years of watching his wife suffer from chronic migraines, Jim Sparling made the
commitment to find a natural and effective relief for his wifes chronic migraine headaches. In
hopes of finding a natural migraine relief formula different from the prescription medications his
wife had been taking for years, he met with several researchers and scientists and together they
set off on a journey that would eventually lead them to the Migraine Support Formula.
This highly educated team of staff researched the medical world to understand what causes and
triggers migraines. They looked even deeper into what medicines are available today, and what
natural methods have proven effective. They researched and performed mass clinical trials and
studies on migraine prevention in order to understand every in and out involved with migraine
symptoms. They looked at the research involving both synthetic and natural supplements that
had been tested to relieve migraine pain. Careful analysis was then conducted on the current
claims from products on the market, and this dedicated team determined if the permanent relief
these products were offering was in fact truthful. The collaboration between the researchers,
scientists, doctors and universities led the migraine support research team to several natural
ingredients that many solid clinical trials had proven to be most effective in relieving migraine
pain. A year of intense research, interviews, and scientific experimentation paid off and the
development of the Migraine Support Formulafollowed. The Migraine Support Formulaispacked full of natural ingredients with the sole purpose of healing and curing migraine pain, not
just masking it with a temporary fix. This formula is highly backed by solid clinical studies and
is currently aiding men and women of all ages with finding long lasting permanent migraine
relief.

The Formula
Migraine Support Formulais composed of only all natural, water-soluble ingredients, making
the supplement completely safe to take on a daily basis to prevent migraine headaches. There are
absolutely no adverse side effects, unlike those commonly associated with other migraine
treatments such as prescription medication. This formula contains only the natural ingredients
that extensive clinical studies have shown and proven to be the most effective in treating
migraine symptoms. The natural ingredients found in the Migraine Support Formulaare:
Water-soluble riboflavin
Magnesium citrate
Feverfew
Ginger
Coenzyme Q10
Ginko Biloba
White Willow Bark
Valerian
Butterbur
5Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)
Vitamin B3 (Niacin)
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)
Riboflavin
Riboflavin is also known as vitamin B2. Vitamin B2 is a crucial component in helping tissue
respiration and the generation of energy metabolism from proteins, carbs and fats. The Migraine
Support Formula contains 400 mg of riboflavin. No toxic or adverse effects of high riboflavin
intake are known in humans.
Magnesium citrate
8/13/2019 Migraine Treatment Myths Revealed PDF
19/22
19 | Page
Research has shown that many people who suffer from frequent migraine attacks tend to have
lower magnesium levels. One can increase their intracellular magnesium levels by taking an oral
magnesium supplement. Tests have shown that added magnesium citrate used effectively in
combination with riboflavin can have a positive effect on migraine pain. If magnesium citrate is
taken in a dosage higher than 300mg side effect such as diarrhea and gastric irritation may occur.
Feverfew
Feverfew has commonly been associated with migraine relief due to its natural ability to obstruct
the release of blood vessels which dilate substances from the platelets creating migraine pain.
Feverfew also prevents inflammatory substances from developing and increasing migraine pain
levels. When researched, information revealed that feverfew can help reduce vomiting when
undergoing a migraine as well as decrease the severity of the migraine attack.
Ginger
Triptans have been successful in relieving migraine pain largely due to their innate ability to
attach to serotonin receptors, helping aid in reducing the triggers that cause migraine pain.
Triptans may temporarily help with migraine pain, but they are not a cure and there are unsafe
side effects associated. Ginger on the other hand is purely natural, safe and has the ability to
attach to human serotonin receptors to help reduce migraine triggers that cause migraine pain.
Ginger has also been proven to help alleviate symptoms such as nausea and when combined with
feverfew they are an effective tool against fighting off migraine symptoms.
Coenzyme Q10
Coenzyme Q10, also referred to as CoQ10, is a vitamin that helps generate energy in the body in
the form of ATP.
Ginko Biloba
Ginko Biloba is a powerful antioxidant made popular by its ability to help improve blood
circulation in both the body and the brain. Ginko Biloba is possibly one of most well-known
herbal remedies. Ginko Biloba can be used in the treatment of migraine headaches because of its
8/13/2019 Migraine Treatment Myths Revealed PDF
20/22
20 | Page
ability to hinder platelet aggregation. This powerful antioxidant possesses flavonoids and
terpenoids that help dilate blood vessels which in return surges blood flow. Clinical studies have
shown Ginko Biloba drastically reduces migraine attacks and the associated symptoms.
White Willow Bark
White Willow Bark is an anti-inflammatory supplement that reduces pain caused by constraining
prostaglandins.
Valerian
Valerian is a root that is used as a muscle relaxer. The use of Valerian is helpful in reducing
stress, anxiety and even insomnia.
Butterbur
Butterbur is an herb. In a sixteen week long clinical study, the use of Butterbur was shown to
reduce migraine attacks by half the amount and severity!
5Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)
5 Hydroxytryptophan also known as 5- HTP, is an amino acid found in food and is a
forerunner to the neurotransmitter serotonin. 5-HTP raises the serotonin levels in the brain while
also increasing the endorphin levels which helps aid in the overall improvement of mood and
disposition. It has been clinically proven that people suffering with chronic migraines typically
have low serotonin and low endorphin levels. Low serotonin and endorphin levels make it
extremely challenging to tolerate or endure pain.
Vitamin B3 (Niacin)
Vitamin B3 helps release energy from carbohydrates, fats and cholesterol while regulating blood
sugar levels. B3 causes the face and skin to flush, which in turn releases the pressure of a
migraine headache. One study done on the benefits vitamin B3 has in relieving migraines
revealed that 81% of people suffering from migraines found relief when treating their migraine
with B3.

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)
Vitamin B6 works as a histamine and helps lessen histamine-induced migraines by increasing
diamine oxidase activity.
