Guest guest Posted September 13, 2000 Report Share Posted September 13, 2000 Dear Sat Sarbat: >From everything I've read, the best approach to migraine is to eliminate or reduce the factors that trigger headaches: Food allergies, histamine-containing/histamine-releasing foods, alcohol (particularly red wine), dietary chemical additives (another plus for organic food), stress, fatigue, eyestrain, etc. The most effective and safest substance to treat migraine is 5-HTP (Hydroxy Tryptophan). This amino acid is a digestive precursor of serotonin, meaning your body converts it to serotonin. Serotonin acts to constrict blood vessel and relieve pain in several ways. Recent studies show that there is a bi-directional influence between depression and migraine - they each trigger and worsen the other, which implies that tying to treat both at once should be particularly effective - improving your serotonin levels nutritionally with 5-HTP is as effective or better than using higher-risk SSRI's (selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors). This also implies that yoga kriyas that act on depression would be a good choice - Gururattan's "Relax and Renew" contain several sets for depression. Love & joy, Sadhant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
