The following is a list of supplements that I have taken to prevent migraines. I suffer from chronic Aura Migraines and saw a neurologist for help. I cannot take Migraine medications due to other health problems and so these are the natural methods supplements I was advised to take. I went from having 12-18 migraines a month to having 2-3 a month. We can all agree Migraines suck so I hope this can help others.

  1. Take Ginger Root every day
    Why it works: Ginger increases Serotonin levels in your brain which reduces inflammation which stops migraines

  2. Take Magnesium every day (especially great for migraines related to menstrual cycles!)
    Why it works: it is suggested by research that Magnesium blocks certain signals in the brain that lead to migraines and also stops certain chemicals that cause pain.

  3. Take Vitamin B-2 every day (aka Riboflavin)
    Why it works: research suggests that is may have an effect on the way that cells metabolize energy

  4. Take Coenzyme Q10 every day (CoQ10)
    Why it works: antioxidant properties may prevent oxidative stress that occurs in brain

Hi @anicoled welcome to steemit.. I suggest you to post in communities rather than tags. First of all, you can prepare a self-introduction in New Comers Community

You can find instructions here

And find suitable communities using List of Steemit Communities Categorized by Their Subjects v2 for now.
