Migraine from a Holistic Perspective

Migraine is characterized by throbbing or pulsating headaches that are usually felt on one side of the head. The condition typically begins in a specific area, subsequently spreads, builds up in intensity and then gradually subsides. A migraine may last for about 24 hours, and in some cases, up to several days. The pain may be aggravated by physical or mental activities. The frequency of migraine attacks may vary; some may experience several in a month, while others have only a few in their lifetime. Migraine attacks are often recurrent, and their severity tends to decrease with age. Statistics estimate that about 30 million people suffer from migraine, in the US alone. The condition may occur at any age, but is more common between the ages of 25 and 45. It is found to be more common in women and may also be associated with genetic predisposition.

Common Triggers of Migraine

Although, the exact cause is not known, a number of factors may trigger a migraine attack, including:

• Stress
• Lack of sleep
• Red wine
• Caffeine, including coffee and chocolate
• Environmental factors, including changes in weather, altitude or time zones
• Hormonal changes in women on account of menstrual cycles, or during pregnancy

Symptoms of Migraine
Migraines are often accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, disturbed sleep, depression and sensitivity to light, sound and smell. 

Depending on the symptoms, migraines are classified into various types. The two most common types of migraine are:

• Classic migraine: This is characterized by a set of psychological or neurological symptoms known as aura, which appear 10-30 minutes prior to the onset of a headache.
• The aura may be a combination of the following symptoms: visual disturbances, like partial loss of vision or distortion of objects, dizziness, tingling or numbness of the face, hands or legs.
• Common migraine: This is the most common type of migraine and occurs without any aura. It may involve one or both sides (bilateral) of the head.

Diagnosis of Migraine
Medical history and symptoms are usually sufficient to diagnose migraine. In severe cases, tests like a CT (Computerized Tomography) scan or a MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) may be required.

Conventional treatment for Migraine is divided into two types: Abortive and Preventive. Abortive treatment consists of drugs taken at the onset of an attack. These include Triptans and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as aspirin and ibuprofen. Preventive treatment is prescribed for severe or frequent attacks and the drugs included in this treatment are beta-blockers, anti-depressants and anti-seizure medications. However, most of these drugs have side effects and they only suppress the symptoms of Migraines for a short period.

Advanced Natural Alternatives

Natural therapies are believed to address the physiological and psychological root causes. The natural products are traditionally believed to work by: **

• Increasing blood supply to the brain
• Relieving the muscle spasms in blood vessels
• Gently inducing relaxation to counter stress
• Guiding the body to be more tolerant towards the trigger factors

Every single ingredient in every Biogetica kit has huge amounts of traditional use data from Ayurveda and Homeopathy and is supported by modern studies and trials. However, people and governments today tend to have varying opinions and laws regarding natural medicine. We therefore prefer not to make any claims but instead, point all patients and doctors to independent research and clinical studies that supports their effects in a scientific manner. In some cases, we compare the results of these studies to those of pharmaceutical medicines in order to show that natural products can provide just as much or may be more, when compared to drugs that often have side effects.
