Migraine is a type of chronic neurovascular disorder that usually occurs in people who are genetically predisposed, that is, who have a history of family members who suffer from the same condition. However, other factors can trigger the attacks of this headache, such as prolonged stress, fasting, insomnia, excessive consumption of coffee and alcoholic beverages, hormonal changes, smoking, chocolate, sugar, sausages, strong cheeses and even the smell of some perfumes .

It affects more women than men and the period that usually manifests itself more often is during adolescence or youth. However, it can occur at any age. Symptoms of this type of headache are associated with a throbbing, throbbing pain, usually only on one side of the head. This pain is accompanied by nausea or vomiting, hypersensitivity to light, sounds and certain odors. These symptoms last from four to 72 hours and worsen with movement.

Treatment is with painkillers, taken as soon as the first symptoms appear. Some patients do not respond well to treatment with common analgesics, and therefore use triptans, which are medications with a more specific type of action. Care must be taken, as the repetitive and abusive use of these drugs can cause a rebound effect, where the symptoms become worse and the patient increases the doses. It is extremely harmful to health. To avoid these problems, there are natural treatments.
