Migraines are no joke. People with migraines suffer severely from the constant Pain that affects their day-to-day lives. Imagine every second of every moment suddenly becoming painful due to a headache that may last for days. Worst of all, it can hit you when you are least expecting it, whether it is riding the subway, having fun with your friends at a bowling alley, or just having dinner with your family.

Chronic pain mostly occurs due to one of three reasons. The cause can be a previous injury, an infection or a neurological disorder. Although you will find many medicines out there that can help with Chronic Pain, they usually have side effects that can cause weakness and fatigue, which is why you should look into all-natural options that not only reduce the pain but can also help eliminate it. Nature offers many remedies that are unfamiliar to most people. Here are some of the things you can try:

1.     Different Foods

Since chronic pain stems from the brain, you need to eat foods that work towards repairing and strengthening brain cells. Magnesium-rich foods, such as bananas, avocados, nuts, and some dry fruits, are perfect for reducing chronic pain. Since Vitamin B2 deficiency can lead to migraines, doctors also recommend foods that are rich in Vitamin B2, such as nuts, eggs, and meat. Stock your refrigerator with these food items to ensure a quick recovery.

2.     Amber

Amber is fossilized tree resin that hardened over millions of years. Amber from the Baltic region is known to be rich in succinic acid, which has amazing anti-inflammatory qualities. Baltic amber necklaces are the perfect natural remedy for your headaches. Wearing an amber necklace for migraines will ensure a speedy recovery and reduce pain over time. People around the world use amber as a pain remedy, and we recommend that you try a few pieces to alleviate your own discomfort.

3.     Try Herbs

In ancient times, people from around the world used Herbs for their medicinal properties. This practice continues to this day, but most of the herbs people consume come in supplement form. However, we recommend eating fresh herbs to your diet to reap their all their benefits.

Some natural herbs have properties that can ease your pain. Herbs like butterbur and lavender are perfect for treating migraines. You can also add fresh herbs, such as basil and black pepper to your meal to help treat any discomfort you are experiencing.

4.     Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is also an ancient treatment and provides positive sensations. Aromatherapy revolves around the use of oils and certain flowers to make wonderful scents that can lighten your mood and help clear your mind. For example, lavender oil mixed with peppermint oil works wonders for migraines.  To try this treatment, take a clean cloth and dampen it with warm water that has been mixed with a few drops of the essential oil(s) of your choice. Then, place the cloth over your face and breathe in deeply for 5-10 minutes. You will notice yourself becoming more relaxed as the pain begins to subside.

5.     Turmeric

Turmeric is a bright orange root with healing properties. People have been using it since ancient times to treat several diseases. It is also a popular painkiller. Nowadays, people use it for making tea, and many South Asian recipes contain turmeric. Although turmeric is available in the market in powder form, it is recommended you get fresh turmeric as it appears in its root form to use in your cooking.
