Response to migranes

I have had migraine headaches all my life. The thing that worked best for me has been the herb feverfew. It is easy to grow in most climates (mine is western NY) and seeds are easy to come by, most catalog nurseries or even Wal-Mart, K-Mart any garden store. Mine grow even in winter under the snow. The leaf is used, very bitter, I chop a large leaf, thumb-size, and add to salad or roll it up in a piece of bread. It can cause mouth irritation if you chew it by itself. It has been studied in England for about 30 yrs. USA is starting to take notice. Some people use it daily (pill form is most convenient) but I have had good results on an as needed basis even after the pain has begun. Some say if you believe in something hard enough it's bound to work and there is no medical basis for it's success. I say, so what, if it works I don't care if its simply my belief that it will. Also try eliminating chocolate, aged cheeses and strong perfumy odors. I'd like to hear how you're doing. Gloria
