Migraine Treatment: You can use home remedies, however, they are not so effective and/or stable. There are many good medications for migraine treatment. Migraine is a serious and complex neurologic disorder. Today effective management of migraine involves three specific strategies: 1) patient education 2) non-pharmacological management (diet, sleep hygiene, acupuncture) and 3) pharmacological (triptans, topamax, (topiramate) etc)

Dealing with migrain: Migraines are usually precipitated by some cause so to avoid those things is best. However once the symptoms (aura) start, it is best to rest in a quiet and dark environment in a horizontal position. Classic migraines are vascular in nature and the brain causes symptoms due to decreased blood flow. It then reacts by increasing the blood flow which causes throbbing headaches.
