- Regular exercise is also a key, it helps increase blood flow to the brain, maintain vascular flexability and promote relaxation.
- Reducing stress with yoga and meditation is also useful.
- Nutritional supplements proven to help include; CoQ10, Magnesium, B vitamins and Omega-3.
I recommend my patients take a food multi nutrient instead of individual nutrients. My favorite product is Four Pillar . I also recommend a liver detox formula because most migraine suffers have a slow detox system. the final nutrient is an adrenal complex because that helps to control stress, muscle spasms and vascular flexibility
Additional treatments that help to prevent migraines incluse; Litecure Laser to improve vascular flow and relax muacles, chiropractic care to remove muscle tension and applied kinesiology for improved overall neuromuscular function.
