Don’t get duped by new MIGRAINE drug!
Friend, there are headaches… and then there are MIGRAINES.
Migraines don’t just make your head hurt… they can cause BLURRED vision… extreme SENSITIVITY to light… and even gut-busting NAUSEA.
And no matter how many OTC painkillers you take, they always seem to come back with a vengeance.
Well, there’s a new push to stop migraines—with you guessed it—MORE DRUGS!
But today, I’m giving you a non-drug solution to stopping migraines… NATURALLY!
Findings published in the journal Neurology say that migraine medications are significantly more effective in treating migraines compared to over-the-counter (OTC) drugs like ibuprofen.
According to the study these medications are:
- 2-5X more effective…
- With some being up to 6X more effective than standard pain relievers.
Pretty intriguing results, especially if you deal with migraines.
But there’s more than meets the eye when it comes to migraine medications—including adverse side effects like:
- Chest pain
- Stomach pain
- Dizziness
- Increase heart rate
No thanks!
There’s no iron-clad “cure” for migraines… but you can treat them and relief your pain naturally.
In the Middle Ages, butterbur was used to treat the PLAGUE.
(Even today it’s sometimes still referred to as “plague root “.)
But if you find you’re plagued by frequent migraines, studies around butterbur found that it can slow their frequency!
In one clinical trial focused on butterbur and headaches, study participants were able to, on average, SLASH the frequency of their migraines by nearly HALF.
Most saw relief after three months… but some experienced significant migraine relief in as little as 30 DAYS.
One of the most studied forms of butterbur is the extract known by the brand name Petadolex.
You can find other iterations of butterbur, sometimes labeled as “purple butterbur”, at health food stores or vitamin retailers.
If you are working with your doctor on a treatment plan for frequent migraines, be sure to talk to him about whether butterbur is right for you.
To beating headaches without drugs,
