Holistic approach: Indeed if you prefer more holistic approach. Assuming you are not pregnant butterbur is considered natural "food" and FDA approved for migraine prevention. Please get it from reliable source ie. Made in USA. ;-) other alternative would be vitamin b2 plus magnesium and co q 10. This takes longer before you becomes noticeably better ie 1 month. But one of the most important - avoid triggers!!
