  1. Just tried Planet Ayurveda's Migraine Care Pack and I'm blown away by the results. No more constant headaches

  2. This was useless then try all that still I’m up there now. It’s 413. I’ve been up since 230 with migraine for the second night in a row. Can’t take my Atrix again. My insurance on Medicare only buys nine pills a month and I’m having a lot more than that can’t take a Excedrin migraine because I’ve gave myself an ulcer from eating them and then it causes rebound headaches. You know I’m at wits end about what the freaking do and I thought that maybe y’all would have something on this video, but it is useless. This is most of the things on today show.

  3. Caffeine is the worst for migraine.dont believe this shit.it is not intelligent at all…coffeine is rising up blood pressure and change cortisol level and makes the brain work as red light and then when the withdrawal happens migraine takes place.which school have you been to….even coffeine is destroying the serotonine level.caffeine is a drug and work same as other drugs destruction of mental brain fonctions.we are not here to believe or not we are here to talk about facts and science.

  4. What if you have no trigger you just get migraines everyday

  5. Drugs is always the answer

  6. The hosts wereback from Effen vodka

  7. She said a whole lot of nothing

  8. Sooo the answer is to prevent it? Not helpful.

  9. Fu** your remedies. Add some essential peppermint oil or rosemary, lavender essential oil, dilute it with some carrier oil example, coconut oil, and voila its gone.

  10. What if coffee triggers it?????

  11. thank you. it seems like you need to be your own doctor these days. for everyone reading this i recommend the book the hidden herbs by anette ray

  12. For everyone reading this, finding the banned book called “the hidden herbs” by anette ray should be your top priority

  13. anyone reading this message go find the book the hidden herbs by anette ray. that's the one book that really did it for me

  14. I normally don't comment but for everyone reading this go read the hidden herbs by anette ray

  15. It’s crazy no one here is talking about the hidden herbs by Anette Ray…

  16. Everyone watching this go find the book the hidden herbs by anette ray

  17. Gut microbes 🦠 something you never even heard of 25 years ago. Now everybody on YouTube is talking about it. I’m surprised she didn’t say anything about riboflavin.

  18. You don’t need a prescription for cefaly

  19. Pitta balance capsule of planet ayurveda …balances the pitta dosha of the body, due to which aggravation of this disease occurs.
