MAGNESIUM THERAPY FOR MIGRAINES
Migraines are a common neurological disorder characterized by recurrent headaches that can be debilitating and interfere with daily life. While the exact cause of migraines are not fully understood, research has shown that magnesium may play a role in preventing and treating migraines. Let’s explore the effects of magnesium on migraines and how it can be used to prevent and treat migraines.
WHAT IS MAGNESIUM?
Magnesium is an essential mineral that is involved in the many bodily functions including muscle and nerve function, blood sugar regulation, and bone health. Magnesium can be obtained from foods such as green leafy vegetables, nuts, and whole grains, as well as from supplements.
MAGNESIUM AND MIGRAINES
Research has shown that magnesium may be beneficial in preventing and treating migraines. Magnesium has been found to have a calming effect on the nervous system, which can help reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines.
A study published in the Journal of Neural Transmission found that individuals who suffer from migraines tend to have lower levels of magnesium in their blood compared to those who do not suffer from migraines. The study also found that magnesium supplementation was effective in reducing the frequency and severity of migraines. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00702-012-0790-2
Another study published in the Journal of Headache and Pain found that oral magnesium supplementation was effective in reducing the frequency and duration of migraines and intravenous supplementation was most effective in alleviating acute and severe migraine attacks. https://thejournalofheadacheandpain.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s10194-021-01234-6
HOW TO USE MAGNESIUM TO PREVENT AND TREAT MIGRAINES
Magnesium can be used to prevent and treat migraines in several ways:
- Dietary Sources: Incorporating magnesium-rich foods such as green leafy vegetables, nuts, and whole grains into your diet can help maintain optimal magnesium levels and potentially prevent migraines.
- Supplements: Magnesium supplements are available in various forms, including capsules, tablets, and powders. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before taking magnesium supplements to determine the appropriate dosage and to ensure that magnesium supplementation is safe.
3. IV Hydration Therapy: IV hydration can be the most effective method of delivering magnesium directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system and ensuring optimal absorption. IV magnesium therapy may be recommended for individuals who are severely deficient in magnesium or who suffers from chronic migraines.
