How to Get Rid of a Migraine Naturally

Ginger has been studied for its effectiveness as a natural remedy for migraines, but our readers have also verified that this herb works well for them.
Most migraine headache drugs cause serious side-effects and are prescribed for only a limited period of time. This means that patients must figure out how to self-treat migraines using natural medicines at some point. Common drugs used to treat migraine headaches include:

  • Ergotamine
  • Dihydroergotamine
  • Pizotifen
  • Diazepam
  • Iprazochrome
  • Aspirin
  • Paracetamol
  • Persantin
  • More…


Recently, we received a message from one of our readers about how to get rid of migraines naturally. This reader suggested salt-flushing and salt-loading along with the use of ginger. Indeed, ginger has been studied as an herbal remedy for migraines and studies have shown that it is both safe and effective at relieving pain within about 2 hours after taking it. Ginger is used in both Ayurverda and Tibb models of medicine for neurological disorders. This is an herb that does not cause any side effects and that can relieve the pain of a migraine headache. 

Note that salt-loading and salt-flushing is something that we recommend that people do to remove bromide and fluoride from the body. It's important, if you use this protocol, that you understand how salt-flushing and salt-loading works in terms of its detoxifying abilities because, if you've been exposed to a lot of bromide and fluoride, you probably need Lugol's iodine to be able to restore your health back to a baseline level.

In another article, I wrote about my own experience working with licorice root and red clover tea as an herbal remedy for migraine headaches. Click here to read that article. Though I haven’t tried it because I no longer suffer from migraine headaches, some people might benefit from adding a dose of ginger (1/2 to 1 teaspoon) to the licorice root and red clover tea recipe that I describe in that article. 

Also note that Butterbur is another herbal remedy for migraines that works for many people. Click here to read more about the use of butterbur to cure migraines naturally.

The reader who suggested the use of ginger for migraines noted that salt-loading and salt-flushing may be valuable as a cure for migraines in part because it promotes better mitochondrial function. She said that Angela Stanton’s book, Fighting the Migraine was helpful to her. Below is the natural migraine treatment that she uses to relieve headaches naturally:
