For many, just the word “holidays” is enough to trigger a migraine. The planning, the traveling, the cooking, the gift-giving, the crowds — it can all get a little nerve-wracking.
Last year was a disaster and I ended up spending most of the holidays coping with my migraines alone by myself. My family, bless them, was very loving and understanding. But I was disappointed and couldn’t help feeling like I had let them down.
After missing out on most of last year’s festivities and barely surviving the migraines, I was determined to find a way to make this year less stressful and more enjoyable for everyone.
Stress is a common migraine trigger so you need to try and minimize stress as much as possible, even during this busy time.
Managing stress with the kids home and so much to do can be just as difficult as trying to manage migraines. There simply are no “sure-things” that work equally for all.
However, recent research has shown 5 specific plant extracts to be highly effective in soothing stress as well as preventing and relieving the symptoms of migraine headaches.
These 5 plants are cold pressed into pure therapeutic grade essential oils and have proven to be the best at preventing and releiving migraines:
- Peppermint oil: A study in Phytomedicine (“phyto” means “plant”) proved peppermint oil to efficiently alleviate tension-type headaches. It causes a significant increase of blood flow to the forehead and contains analgesic (pain-relieving) properties.
- Spanish sage Oil: This oil improves brain function and even improves memory. In addition, sage essential oil has been shown to relieve muscle spasms. Ursolic acid, a component of sage, has strong anti-inflammatory properties. According to Neurology Advisor, inflammation may play a significant role in migraines.
- Cardamom oil: The essential oil of cardamom contains chemicals that reduce swelling, according to WebMD. As anybody like me who has experienced the debilitating effects of migraine pain knows, it feels like your brain is swollen. Indeed, what happens when you have a migraine is that excited brain cells trigger the brain to release chemicals that irritate and cause blood vessels on the surface of the brain to swell.
- Ginger oil: Since ancient times ginger oil has been used to cure nausea. Many people who suffer migraine attacks experience nausea and even vomiting. Ginger helps relieve these symptoms, as well as vertigo and dizziness.
- Sweet fennel oil: Several studies have shown sweet fennel oil to improve brain function and reduce anxiety. In fact, sweet fennel in one study was shown to reduce anxiety more effectively than the drug, diazepam. Sweet fennel is listed in the 19th edition of Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapeutics for its anxiety-relieving effects.
Fortunately my dentist told me about something she uses called Migraine Care. It is a premium quality blend of all 5 of these essential oils, perfectly portioned and balanced for maximum migraine relief.
I fell in love with Migraine Care the first time I used it. It’s the only thing that’s ever significantly relieved my pain. In fact, I haven’t had another attack in over 12 weeks now—the longest I’ve gone without one—because it really works. Used regularly, it has changed my quality of life.
How to Use Migraine Care
Using Migraine Care is simple. There are 3 easy ways to use it. Two of the three steps involve diffusing it.
Both when I wake up in the morning and before bed at night, I pour 5-10 drops of Migraine Care into my diffuser. The soothing aromas of this essential oil blend immediately relax my mind, helping me to avoid the many triggers of my migraines.
The second way I diffuse Migraine Care is with my Calm Diffuser Bracelet, which I received when I ordered Migraine Care. If you’ve never heard of a diffuser bracelet, they’re really cool. They are made with lava stone beads which are porous, allowing them to absorb and diffuse essential oils throughout the day. Wearing the bracelet with Migraine Care helps me prevent migraines and allows me to keep instant relief ready whenever migraines strike.
The Calm Diffuser Bracelet is made of white howlite and lava stone. White howlite is one of the best calming stones for relieving stress and anxiety. Lava stones are known to have grounding properties to keep you balanced while easing nervous tension and anxiety. I simply apply Migraine Care directly on the lava stone beads with the free roll-on bottle that comes with the 30ml bottle.
The third way I use Migraine Care also involves the roll-on bottle. Because the roll-on bottle is diluted with coconut oil, you can apply it directly to your skin. So all I do is apply the roll-on bottle to my temples and gently massage it in with my fingertips.
Because I have a small desk at work, I don’t have the space for a vaporizer. But the roll-on bottle is small enough to keep with me anywhere and I use it anytime I feel the onset of symptoms. The convenient roll-on bottle is even TSA approved for air travel.
I consider the roll on bottle my emergency first aid kit. I actually use it to prevent emergency attacks.
Migraine Care has given me the confidence to host Christmas this year, something I have been dreaming about for years! I know that should I start feeling an attack coming on, I’ll have something on hand to offer immediate help.
