The Migraine Hack We All Need

Unlike the typical headaches, migraines can prevent sufferers from doing a lot of things. In fact, some people who have them miss work during episodes. Over-the-counter drugs don’t usually work, so a stronger doctor-prescribed medication is necessary. Aside from pain relievers, applying ointments can give migraine patients relief.

One remedy that people swear works is ‘Vicks Vaporub’ because of its menthol ingredients. Studies have proven that applying mentholated creams or ointments at the base of a migraine sufferer’s skull could ease the pain. Of course, since ‘Vicks Vaporub’ only contains a small amount of menthol, one must apply a liberal amount of the balm.
