Migraine Prevention

Are you or someone you know one of the multitude of people
who suffer from migraine headaches?

Migraines can be incapacitating! They can be ocassional for
some, but frequent for others.

Today I'd like to share with you a herbal remedy that can
help prevent migraines...

Feverfew has been studied and found effective for the
prevention of migraine headaches, reducing the number
of headaches suffered by as much as 70 percent, or reducing
the pain and controlling the nausea commonly experienced
with such headaches. Once a migraine headache begins,
however, feverfew does not appear to relieve the pain.

Feverfew has been linked to several measurable changes
in physiology. Extracts of the aboveground parts of the
plant can reduce the body's manufacture of prostaglandin,
a chemical important in inflammation, by up to 88 percent.
This and other anti-inflammatory activity might explain why
the herb has been used to treat psoriasis.

In the test tube, feverfew extracts can keep blood platelets
from sticking together and forming clots, so the herb may
be useful as a mild anticoagulant. It achieves this through
a different chemical pathway than aspirin or other salicylates.

Feverfew also blocks platelets from releasing serotonin,
which may help to explain how it works to prevent migraines.
Feverfew extracts also prevent the release of histamine from
mast cells, so the plant may be useful in the treatment of
allergies.
