Headaches/migraines are no fun in life. They ruin your entire day and just make it hard to parent. By clicking around on our site or social media accounts, you may notice we choose the natural remedies first before proceeding with ‘modern medicine’.
**Disclaimer: NONE OF THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN AS MEDICAL ADVICE. Always seek care from a trusted healthcare provider. These are just products we love and use in our home, for our family.
So here is our recommendations and ways we care for headaches/migraines:
1. Relief
Relief comes in two versions, one for ages 16+ and one for children. We bought the Children’s version which has no willow bark in it. This tincture is made for the purposes of reducing inflammation and pain. You take 1-2 servings as needed. The Children’s version has these ingredients: ORGANIC LIPOSOMAL CURCUMIN, ORGANIC VEGETABLE GLYCERIN, ORGANIC LIPOSOMAL GINGER, ORGANIC NON-GMO SUNFLOWER LECITHIN, ORGANIC BLACK PEPPER, 100% PURE THERAPEUTIC GRADE ESSENTIAL OIL: COPAIBA.
2. Magnesium Lotion or Gel
In today’s society we lack so many nutrients and minerals from our diet that our grandparents and great grandparents used to receive with no issues. Magnesium is one of those nutrients that we so desperately lack. In our home, we prefer getting our magnesium through a lotion/cream as your skin absorbs so much!
We alternate between Earthley’s Goodnight Lotion, which is a magnesium cream, and Rowe Casa Organics Magnesium Gel. We feel like Earthley’s is not a potent and more kid friendly, especially if you are majorly deficient in magnesium. For more of a concentrated magnesium “dose”, we use the gel. The only reason we say this is because SOMETIMES we feel a slight tingling/burning sensation when using the gel and that can be a sign of magnesium deficiency.
Anyway we take some and rub it on our temples and across our forehead when we have headaches/migraines.
3. Lymphatic Cream
Another vote for a product from Rowe Casa Organics this time for their Lymphatic Cream. This cream helps to drain and flush out toxins in your lymphatic system. We rub it around our ears and down our neck. This product can be used anywhere externally. They have a great guide on how to rub the cream to get most usage out of it and to help drain your lymphatic system on their social media.
Also on their website is a Lymphatic Lotion, this is the same, it’s just a different consistency and you should choose this option if you live somewhere hot, as the cream will liquify from the heat.
4. Muscle and Joint Pain Lotion
Listen, we are NOT affiliated with Rowe Casa Organics. We receive zero compensation nor do we have any discount codes for this amazing company. This company’s products just speak for themselves in how well they work.
So, let’s now chat about Rowe Casa Organic’s Muscle and Joint Pain Lotion. This lotion can replace your toxic ICYHOT products. When we have a headache or migraine, we rub this product on the back of our neck. It provides that warming/cooling sensation and helps with tension and pain. It is amazing for sore muscles as well.
5. LMNT Salt Packets
Dehydration leads to more headaches/migraines and it can be the leading cause. Just water is not the PROPER hydration your body needs. LMNT provides the minerals (sodium, potassium and magnesium) you need in great flavors for everyone. They even have Chocolate flavors for a warm glass during the winter. LMNT also has an unflavored packet just in case you don’t want to break your fast.
These are just the top five natural ways we first start to treat our headaches and migraines. Our kids use the same products, yes our two year old is constantly taking sips of the Watermelon LMNT from Eva.
