Migrane

Migraines are recurring headaches that can be highly debilitating. According to Andrew Huberman, migraines occur more frequently in females, often independently of hormonal changes like the menstrual cycle 1.

Potential Treatments:

1. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Increasing omega-3 intake while reducing omega-6 intake can significantly decrease the frequency and intensity of migraines 2. Aim for at least 1 gram of EPA omega-3 per day from food or supplements.
2. Herbal Treatments: Menthol and peppermint oil have shown effectiveness in treating migraines, among other herbal treatments like coriander, chamomile, and lavender. These can be combined with other treatments to manage symptoms 3.
