Another migraine

plunkybugMore sinus based today I think. That, and I think I am becoming rather sensitive to the weather.
I went to Chamberlin's yesterday, in search of something for my migraines with my recently gained knowledge, and it looks like I might've found something good. Only I will have to wait until I have a little more money to buy it. So maybe this weekend after I get paid again. I am also waiting for my friend to look it over and give me the ok...she is good with supplements and knows me well.
USAGE: Take 1 to 4 softgels per day with water or juice with meals, or as directed by your qualified health consultant. For maximum efficacy, MiBrain™ should be used daily. Do not use if pregnant, lactating, trying to conceive, or if using any medication.
MiBrain™ is a blend of standardized herbal extracts combined with magnesium, chromium, vitamin B2 and Omega 3 fatty acids for optimum brain function.
• MaxDHA is a source of Omega 3 fatty acids known to generate prostaglandins series 3 (PGE3) and support brain function.
• Butterbur contains petasine and isopetasine which may reduce the formation of leukotrienes and improve neurocirculation. Devil’s Claw contains harpagosides (iridoid glycosides) which are natural COX-2 inhibitors. White Willow Bark is a bitter herb rich in flavonoids and salicyclic derivatives (salicin and salicortin) responsible for inhibiting COX-2.
• Other MiBrain™ Herbs: Feverfew, Green Tea, and Ginger are sources of powerful phenolic antioxidants which support healthy circulation and brain metabolism.
• Magnesium supports healthy platelet metabolism and circulation. Vitamin B2 is added to support mitochondrial energetics in the brain. Chromium is an essential mineral micronutrient involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates.

I may start out by taking 1-2 a day and keeping a few spares on me for on the spot treatment if I am away from home. Not sure if it will work like that though. What I like about this blend is that it has things are good for you anyway, like the vitamins and minerals, and the EFA's (which should also help the hormonal side of my migraines). I know that the herbs are usually taken when it may strike, and white willow bark is used as a pain reliever, hence my plan to keep a few spare on hand.
I hope this works to at least lessen the number of migraines and reduce the severity so that I can reclaim my life back. Hopefully.
