Drinking a warm cup of herbal tea can reduce migraine pain. Tea can relieve throbbing and distracting pain in the head.
Home remedies should not prevent people from seeking proper treatment. A review published in 2021 informs about high diagnostic and treatment gaps in Indian population. Major challenges in addressing headache disorders are low perceived severity, absence of burden data, lack of standard treatment protocols and treatment models.
Migraine causes severe headaches. A study published in 2021 shows that migraine and related conditions have impacted 488 million Indians.
In the answer below, we have discussed how herbal tea affects migraine and which herbal teas can be beneficial against migraine pain.
Are herbal teas good for migraine?
Possible. There is scant scientific evidence to confirm teas prevent or stop a migraine attack. The research suggests that herbal teas are good for migraine and beneficial for people with repeated headaches. Regular consumption of herbal teas can relieve pain and shortens frequency.
People with frequent migraine can consider incorporating herbal teas into their routine to reduce the intensity of each attack. The National Headache Institute website shows herbal teas have antioxidants that can block signals generating pain, relax tense muscles, reduce inflammation, relieve stress, and contract or expand blood vessels to smooth blood flow.
Which herbal tea is good for migraine?
There is scant research available to show which herbal teas are good to reduce the severity of migraine pain. A review published in 2020 informs that feverfew, butterbur, curcumin, menthol/peppermint oil, coriander, citron, Damask rose, chamomile, and lavender can reduce the extent of migraine. A website named Migraine.com informs that people with migraine consider drinking green tea, peppermint tea, chamomile tea, feverfew tea, willow bark tea, and ginger tea. The curative effect of green tea against migraine might arise from its caffeine concentration.
