Those who suffer from migraines know how bad the pain can get. It throbs and throbs, and sometimes it feels like nothing in the world will ever make it go away. These are the times when the pain gets so bad that you become willing to try anything in order to find migraine headache relief. Unfortunately, these can also be the times when nothing seems to work for your migraines. Medication, methods to relieve stress, and everything else you've tried just don't work!

If you've had several migraines of this nature, perhaps it is time to begin looking towards unconventional methods of migraine headache relief. In some cases, what's new is what works. Just make sure you discuss these methods with your neurologist before beginning. Remember that there are types of migraines and each type might need specific and/or different care and attention.

Botox

Often associated with plastic surgery and Hollywood actresses, Botox is actually a very useful form of treatment. Apart from being able to smooth out wrinkles, Botox is used to treat muscle conditions and overactive sweat glands. Studies have shown that Botox is able to relax muscles and nerve conduction. It was this characteristic that led doctors to test its effectiveness on migraine headache relief.

Because it can relax nerve conduction, migraine pain is blocked from ever occurring. In a recent study, Botox was seen to provide relief for a majority of migraine sufferers, even being able to provide instant relief. The treatment had no side-effects, which is ideal, though scientists do admit that the treatment is very new and more research may need to be done.

Currently, the only drawback is that treatments are expensive and many people may not be able to afford it.

Aromatherapy

This unusual treatment method for migraine headache relief is something you will not need your doctor's permission for, though it is ideal that you tell them if you plan on trying it out. It involves using scented oil to help relieve the pain of a migraine.

Adding aromatherapy to your current migraine treatments can help give you the relief you are looking for. Aromatherapy is a good supplementary treatment for many of the conventional migraine treatments because it helps sufferers relax, easing tension and stress, which can help alleviate the pain.

You can start aromatherapy several ways. First, you can use an aromatherapy machine to help the therapeutic smell circulate the room. Alternatively you can put a bit of your oil of choice on your pillow, or you can apply it to your pressure points (behind the ear and the wrists.)

Many of those who practice this form of treatment agree that lavender oil is a good choice.
