Migraine
Recommendation (at first signs/symptoms of migraine)
1/8th tsp ginger powder twice daily, e.g. add to yoghurt, smoothies or water to drink etc.
or 2 drops Lavender essential oil under nose so it can be inhaled over the next 20-30mins.
Note: if the oil causes skin irritation (which is rare) please discontinue use. Also a simple cold pack around neck/head may help a migraine.
Results: studies show either can reduce migraine severity/duration in about 70% of cases.
How it works: positive effect on anti-nausea/inflammatory/anxiety/pain pathways in the body.
Side-benefits: according to the research regular ginger use may provide a wide-range of other potential health benefits (e.g. help with weight loss, osteoarthritis, indigestion, cholesterol).
