Migraines present in various ways so the best treatment changes on an individual basis. Aside from standard medications (of which there are many to try) alternative therapies include: drinking more h2o, walking, fresh air, laying in a dark room with an ice pack to the head, homeopathy, acupuncture, or cranial osteopathy. De-stressing & avoiding your triggers are the most important thing to do.

Several modalities: I would say that it depends on the cause - whether it is food allergy/reaction based, stress based or neurovascular or even musculoskeletal. Several things can be tried - including but not limited to: changing diet, osteopathic cervical and craniosacral treatment, meditation, rehydration, cold packs on neck/ head, napping in a dark quiet room, massage and most importantly avoid caffeine!
