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
