Hoe kan ik mijn migraine oplossen

Here are some methods suggested by Andrew Huberman on the Huberman Lab for managing migraines and headaches:

1. Migraine Understanding and Management:

   • Migraines often involve dilation of blood vessels and photophobia (sensitivity to light). Managing these factors can help alleviate symptoms. Identifying the type of headache is essential, as treatments like aspirin may worsen migraine symptoms due to blood vessel dilation issues 1.

2. Use of Omega-3 Fatty Acids:

   • Increasing omega-3 fatty acid intake, particularly EPA, can significantly reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches, including migraines. Aim for more than 1 gram of EPA per day, which can be sourced from supplements or foods 2 3.

3. Curcumin/Turmeric:

   • Curcumin, found in turmeric, is noted for its anti-inflammatory properties and may be beneficial for migraine relief. However, it's important to avoid excessive doses which can affect exercise adaptations 4.

4. Natural Remedies:

   • Some herbal and oil-based treatments have shown efficacy in reducing headache frequency and severity, sometimes outperforming non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) without the associated risks 5.

These methods emphasize a combination of dietary supplements and a careful understanding of headache types to tailor treatment effectively. It's always advisable to consult with a healthcare provider when considering new supplements or treatments, especially for managing chronic conditions like migraines.
