I read somewhere to rub lime juice on your forehead when you have a migraine. I've tried it 3 times now. It doesn't 'cure' it but it sure lessens the intensity. Doesn't do anything for what I call the aftermath, either. Don't know why it works, maybe the aroma is relaxing or maybe it penetrates into the muscles and relaxes them, I don't know, but it does help some. And any help is good help when yo hurt that badly.

Have you tried rosemary? I use fresh when at home; I keep dried handy when I am away. Put it under your tongue til it softens then chew on it a little, return under tongue til it is gone.

Works better than anything I have tried. Feverfew made it worse!

I just heard that when you have a migraine if you rub Vicks on the soles of your feet the migraines will stop.
