Magnesium as a cure for Migraines?

Clinical studies have shown that migraineurs have low brain magnesium during migraine attacks and may also suffer from magnesium deficiency. Significant research has shown that people with migraines often have lower levels of magnesium than those without them. One study actually found that regular intake of magnesium reduced the frequency of migraine attacks by 41.6 percent. Other research has shown that taking daily magnesium supplements can be effective at preventing menstrual-related migraines. However, not every clinical trial has shown magnesium to be effective at preventing migraine headaches, but there is enough evidence that it can help to make it a good option to be considered.

Magnesium oxide is most frequently used to prevent migraines. You can take it in pill form, with a general recommended dosage of about 400 to 500 milligrams a day. Because magnesium occurs naturally and is necessary for our health, it is an organic migraine treatment. This is especially true when compared to migraine medications, which can come with more severe side effects. Low levels of this powerful mineral are estimated to affect around 70 per cent of people, so it is important to find ways to increase levels within the body and supplementing can help.

I can be added into your diet via eating more foods that are rich in magnesium, which include:

• Dairy products like milk and yoghurt
• Fortified breakfast cereals and other foods that have nutrients added to them
• Green, leafy vegetables like spinach
• Legumes, nuts, and seeds
• Whole grains

Or through supplementation.
