Migraine and Headaches - Home remedies

Research has shown that riboflavin, or vitamin B2, can help reduce the incidence of migraines by up to 50%. Riboflavin improves your brain’s energy metabolism and its muscle cells, protecting them and helping them maintain energy. Aim for about 400 mg a day in foods like mushrooms, asparagus – even a glass of low-fat milk, which is about 30% of the recommended daily allowance.
Magnesium is especially helpful if you’re prone to monthly headaches, calming nerves when they get overexcited. Try and get 450 mg of magnesium a day from foods like spinach and Swiss chard, which give you almost 40% of your daily need. Other good sources are sweet potatoes, bananas, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds.

Apply an ice pack or wet towel (soaked in freezing cold water) to the painful area of your head. Try placing it on your forehead, temples, or the back of your neck.
Take a warm bath or shower, take a nap, or take a walk.
Ask someone to rub your neck and back, or treat yourself to a massage.
Apply gentle, steady rotating pressure to the painful area of your head with your index finger and/or thumb. Maintain pressure for seven to 15 seconds, then release. Repeat as needed.
Rest, sit, or lie quietly in a low-lit room. Close your eyes and try to release the tension in your back, neck, and shoulders.
Drink plenty of water, dehydration can be the cause of headaches.
