Migraines are a message for us that there is an imbalance somewhere. Live and love well, learn how to manage stress, pay attention and nourish as best you can.

When we cook food we destroy the natural enzymes in the food, so most people ingesting the bulk of their food as cooked and processed eventually overdo their own enzyme production. By mid to late 30's this happens and people start complaining of indigestion, food sensitivities, stomach and other problems like headaches, fatigue. Foods become irritants if we can't digest them properly. Look at Garden of Life Omegazymes. Great product. I read an article recently on migraines and the enzyme connection. google it. The ginger can be taken in tea form, dried natural crystallized ginger as a snack, sliced or grated into foods and also found as a supplement. Easiest thing is to cook with it , snack on it and drink ginger teas... Yogi teas has a nice lemon ginger tea.

I have been searching for an article like this for over 20 years. I do get migraines from the above foods but along with the migraines, I will have a period of depression, fatigue, and lower immunity. Once it's out of my system; I'm fine. Does this go along with the above explanation of an enzyme deficiency, and where can I find even more information? Thanks so much. Denise Hi!

What relation is there between having migraine and having to urinate very often? Usually when I get migraines I find mysellf having to go to the bathroom around six or seven times an hour. If I have a craving for a certain food should I eat it or avoid it? How should I take ginger, the way they serve it at the japanese restaurants, or boil the root, or how? Migraines ruin important events and progress in my life, I am very interested in knowing how to stop them. Thankyou Hi:

Ginger is thought to be good to increase the stomach juices and aid with digestion/absorption of nutrients, but still is not a substitute for the enzymes needed to digest all foods. Magnesium supplements do help with calming the nervous system and muscles, also helping with sleep. Excessive Mag citrate does have a laxative effect though, so magnesium ascorbate might be more gentle on your system. I had migraines for 50+ years, was also on meds, but now am just eating well and taking some supplements. Had to start supplements to get my system ready to gradually decrease and get off the rx's.

I have been struggling with migranes for over 20 years. In fact I'm on medication because of it. I know strong smells are one of the contributers, but other times I have no idea, but thought seasonal winds - allergies were the other contributions. I can see food playing a big part because it always seems like I have a lingering headache that could just start as a tension headache or go away or could go full blown migrane depending on the day. If I was to start taking Omega 3's, ginger and magnesium citrate as supplements would this start helping??? This is normally not in my diet. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you so much for this information!! I have been struggling with migranes for over 20 years. In fact I’m on medication because of it.

Continued lack of them causes malabsorption of nutrients and ensuing irritation/inflammation of tissues...Try digestive enzymes (capsules available in health food stores) everyday to relieve your digestive disorders. OTC pain relievers are temporary bandaids and actually irritate the stomach too. Once you are digesting and absorbing foods properly, be very mindful of foods that continue to set off headaches.
