Migraine Headaches - Common Supplements

Before I wrap up my story (and it does have a happy ending) I want to list some of the more common nutritional supplements that are often used for headaches. This data is from the Mother Earth News website, Natural Headache Remedies.
  • Magnesium. Research shows that intravenous magnesium helps break migraine and cluster headaches, particularly in those with low levels of this mineral. Other trials also have shown that oral magnesium may help prevent headaches.
  • Riboflavin. In an open-label trial (no placebo control group), 400 milligrams a day for six months cut migraines headache frequency in half and decreased medication use.
  • Coenyme Q10. This vitamin-like substance participates in mitochondrial energy production. When 42 migraine sufferers took either Coenzyme Q10 (100 milligrams three times a day) or a placebo, the supplement significantly reduced the frequency of attacks.

There is one person that I have mentioned frequently in my blogs, that is Dr. Teresa Latendress. Dr. Latendress is a kind person, a dear friend, and a very experienced naturopathic physician. You can get in touch with Dr. T. (as her patients call her) via her web site at http://www.drteresa.4t.com/. You can also read her monthly newsletter at www.FeelingOutstanding.com/Dr_T_newsletter.html.
