What is

Migraines

Migraines are severe headaches characterised by neurological symptoms beyond normal headaches, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. While the exact cause of migraines is not fully understood, there are so many factors that can contribute to their onset such as hormonal imbalances, stress, dietary triggers, and environmental factors. Naturopaths put an emphasis on finding any underlying triggers and helping to reduce the frequency and severity of the migraine. 

Symptoms

  • Intense, pulsating headache typically on one side of the head
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Sensitivity to light, sound, or smells
  • Visual disturbances such as aura (flashing lights, blind spots)
  • Tingling or numbness in the face or extremities

Treatment options

Comprehensive evaluation of triggers and contributing factors, including hormonal imbalances, stressors, and dietary triggers. We can identify and eliminate potential dietary triggers whether they are inflammatory triggers or food sensitivities. We look at what nutrients we can include in your diet as well as supplementary nutrition to reduce migraine frequency and severity. We can also look at how we can help your body recover after a migraine to reduce neuroinflammation and any lingering neurological symptoms.

Herbal Medicines can work well as natural pain relief, reduce inflammation, nervous system support and overall migraine management. Herbal formulations can be tailored to address individual triggers and symptoms, providing natural relief from migraines.
