If your migraines are accompanied by other signs of estrogen dominance such as fluid retention, abdominal weight gain, sleep instability or ruthless PMS or hot flashes, the following procedures may reduce or eliminate your attacks.
One way is up your magnesium intake. Magnesium thwarts the arterial contractions that set off migraines plus it helps fracture excess estrogen. For women under 40 they should take 300 to 400 mg of magnesium daily. Women 40 and over should aim for 600 to 800 mg a day. To hit this target enjoy the following pumpkin seeds which have 151mg per quarter cup, spinach which has 157 mg per cup. You may also take supplement like Solgar Magnesium Citrate 400 mg.
Another way replenishes progesterone. This hormone keeps estrogen balanced. Natural progesterone is obtainable in skin creams and sublingual under the tongue drops. Both forms are effective. Here are two brands Life-Flo Progesta-Care Body Cream and Apex Progesterone.
Here are popular pain killers that can make headaches worse! It is well established that over the counter pain relievers containing acetaminophen or ibuprofen can overtax the liver and impair its function. That is a danger unto itself, but even more troubling is that this effect actually brings about bodily pain. When liver function is working below it normal range, then organ cannot metabolize estrogen properly. This causes the hormone to build up in the body. The result is a worsening of pain that drives millions of women to take these pain killers over and over again. The safer option is to take aspirin. Aspirin does not affect the liver in a way that causes estrogen buildup.
