There is a thread on EDS where I posted about Butterbur:
http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=45447&start=25
I take it and it's the only supplement that has helped, more than preventive meds.
I did a detox for 3 weeks where I removed all possible allergens and food intolerances, including migraine triggers. Once I started to slowly incorporate everything back into my diet, I realized I could not find a food trigger. Everyone is different though, so you may have food triggers.
After some more analysis, I realized that: lack of sleep, stress, changes in blood sugar (letting it get too low), dehydration, too much alcohol, sudden changes in light or any other neurological stressors trigger my migraines. Everything in excess seems to do it: too much sugar, too much alcohol, too much food in general, not enough water, not enough sleep, not enough food... Best advice I can give you is try to stay in balance at all times.
I cannot control all of these factors, but Butterbur has helped me have milder, more rare migraines.
If I take Butterbur at the migraine onset, I can stop it without my prescription meds.
Hope this helps! |
