Various types of migraine are abdominal, basilar, complicated, hemiplegic, nocturnal, and cyclic migraine syndrome. Abdominal migraine is also known as periodic syndrome which is common among children. It typically occurs to those have it in their heredity and this type may lead to a classic migraine. Basilar migraine, also called Bickerstaff's syndrome, typically affects adolescent women. This occurs when migraine obstructs the circulation the back part of the neck or brain. Hemiplegic migraine is the rarest among all types but one of the most severe. Its symptoms include temporary paralysis of the motor function and obstructions in the sensory system on a certain side of the body.

Migraine Relief
There are a number of alternative and homeopathic treatments recommended for either warding off or getting rid of migraines, although no one can say for any degree of certainty that they work a high percentage of the time or even for a large number of migraine sufferers. These alternatives include the use of acupuncture or acupressure therapy, biofeedback therapy, chiropractic treatments, and the water-based hydrotherapy treatment. Many herbs have been tried for migraine help as well. These herbs include chamomile, feverfew, valerian (which is also a great help for insomnia), white willow, and skullcap.

Natural Ways to Relieve Migraines
Migraines effect a huge part of the population, but there are natural ways to relieve migraines. 10% of people are diagnosed with them and another 5% suffer but are not diagnosed. Migraines can range from no pain to a lot of pain. What surprised me was the no pain part, the fact that you can be suffering a migraine but not feel pain.

The first is the simplest of all the treatments, it is applying hot or cold clothes to your head. This is a little tricky in that for some it is hot that is better and for others it is cold that is, but the good news is that once you know which helps you, it is consistently the same. Herbs and Natural supplements can also be helpful, as well as getting your eyes checked regularly, and for some even sexual activity. Many other alternative ways can be found by searching online, but these that I have listed seem to be the most common

Natural Relief for Migraines
There are two main types of migraine headaches – common and classic. About 80% fall into the common migraine category without an aura. These are generally much less painful than the classic variety with auras. An aura is an array of visual disturbances (flashing lights, seeing spots, complex patterns or shapes, etc.) that occur shortly before the onset of a headache. Auras are sometimes accompanied by nausea and vomiting.

The next two steps are to start a regular moderate exercise program and switch to a healthier migraine-free diet. Avoid any food that might trigger headache symptoms. These include caffeine, chocolate, sugar, soft drinks, alcohol, processed grains and sweets (desserts, pastries, cookies, cake, sweetened cereals, etc.).
