Migraines and headaches affect different people in different ways but the main complaint people have is a blindin pain migrating from one side of their head with nausea or an aversion to light.

The main relief is medication but with most complaints and conditions alternative therapy could be explored and in some cases these alternative therapies have shown to cure some people but always take alternative therapies under the guidance of a general practioner or family physician. 

Migraine Headaches are paroxysmal ailments, that are accompanied by a severe headache. The headache normally occurs on one side of the head. Migraine is associated with disorders of digestion, liver, and sight. Migraine headaches occur sometimes due to great mental tension and stress.

Migraine headache patients are typically smart, inflexible, disciplined. Sudden migraine attacks may occur due to overworked muscles in the head and neck and due to continuous stress. The blood flow drops because these tight muscles squeeze the arteries. When the person suddenly relaxes these tight muscles expand and stretch the blood vessel walls. The blood pumped with each heartbeat then pushes the vessels further causing immense pain.
