There are many OTC treatments available. What works for one patient or one Migraine will not necessarily work for another. It is vitally important to remember that herbs etc were nature's first medicines. They have side effects and contraindications just like prescription medicines and need to be treated with extreme caution. Always ask your doctor before beginning treatment with an OTC remedy. Unfortunately there is no cure for Migraine yet, but some things other patients have tried include:

Butterbur

Feverfew

Diluted Peppermint Oil

Magnesiuim

Riboflavin

B12

acupuncture

massage

shirodhara

neurostimulators

TENS units

surgery

I've suffered from migraines for about 20 years now. I'm only 27, so migraines are my profession. The treatment I use is simple. HOT SAUCE! The hotter the better. one or two drops on your tongue will take a headache away within 10 seconds. Trust me i know what I'm talking about. Just try this method at least once and you'll never need medication again. Hot Sauce is a life saver.

Note: While the capsaicin found in hot sauce may relieve migraine pain for some people, it does not relieve it for everyone. If using it on your tongue does not help, there are other preparations such as nasal sprays (Sinol or Sinus Buster Headache Buster) which will directly put capsaicin onto a nerve adjacent to the nasal cavity. Capsaicin can interrupt the pain signals caused by migraine and studies have shown it to cause a 20-80% improvement in those with chronic migraine. However, it does not combat the original neurological dysfunction that causes migraines and even if capsaicin works for you to abort a migraine or increases your ability to tolerate the pain, it may be worthwhile to being taking preventative medications if you have more than two migraines a month.

Answer:

Jalebi (an Indian preparation) dipped in hot milk, try laughing with mouth shut, Pranayam (Indian breathing techniques)

Can napprox use for preventing migraine pain?

Naprox (naproxen sodium) can be used to treat migraine. As a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, it works directly on the inflammation of nerves and blood vessels that are causing you so much pain during a migraine. Naproxen can also be used in helping to prevent migraines by reducing prostaglandins in the body which set up inflammation which kicks off the migraine process.
