What is Migraine?

Migraine is a complex neurobiological disorder that is characterized by recurring attacks of unilateral headaches with or without prodromal, neurological symptoms. If you suffer from migraine, you may have a hereditary predisposition that is triggered by a series of conditions including hormonal changes.

Strong clinical experience shows that by reducing the inflammation in certain muscles of the neck, you are often able to reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks.

Combining anti-inflammatory nutritional supplements with medical acupuncture is one of the most effective and side effect-free treatments available today.

Which natural ingredients can have an effect on migraines?

Chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine sulfate, grape seed extract, selenium, zinc, manganese, boron, copper, magnesium, molybdenum, vitamins A, B2, B3, B6, C, D, E and folic acid, fish oils (EPA/DHA), green tea extract, quercetin, alpha-lipoic acid and cimicifuga racemosa (black cohosh).

What effects do these ingredients have?

  • Reduce the frequency of attacks.
  • Reduce the severity of attacks.
  • Prevent new attacks.
  • Effective analgesic treatment.
  • Long-term effect.
  • Improve quality of life.

For the reader with a deeper interest:

How do these ingredients work?

  • Treat and prevent vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
  • Treat the cause (inflammation), not just the symptoms.
  • Inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2).
  • Inhibit the breakdown of collagenase phospholipases.
  • Inhibit TNF-a and interleukin 1B.
  • Inhibit the development of leukotriene B4 and prostaglandin E2.
  • No side effects.

The information above is based on more than 5,000 articles published in scientific journals and which are available at MEDLINE. Below you will find a few of them listed:
