I've been muddling through the past couple of days plagued by a tenacious migraine. As a plant lover, I'd love to be able to reach for some unsullied botanical remedy for this pain. I've heard tell about the wonders of feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) but have never been brave enough to concoct and drink what I assume would be a nasty brew...feverfew leaves do not smell appetizing.
Eucalyptus oil seems to help a little if I inhale the fumes straight from the bottle. I have been resorting to dabbing a small amount of VapoRub on my eyelid, which seems to have an analgesic effect, if only a temporary one. Of course, one has to be careful to not get any of the rub into the eye, but the cooling effect does provide some short term relief until the pharms kick in.
Here's hoping I will have departed Migrainium before the next post!
