I was using Ambien to help me sleep. I discovered Ambien was causing me to be susceptible to migraines. I also noticed that if I took an additional dose of Ambien upon waking in the middle of the night, a nasty headache or migraine was certain. After switching to Lunesta, I have much fewer migraines. When I feel a migraine coming on, I will take 400 mg of ibupropen and lay down with an ice pack on my head. Usually within 30 minutes after taking the ibupropen and applying the ice pack, most of my migraine is relieved.

Guarana works because it is a strong stimulant, very similar to caffeine. You would want to be very careful taking a “natural” supplement like Guarana, as it’s just as much a drug as caffeine, it’s just not one that we are as familiar with here in the US. Caffeine helps too, that’s why Excedrine is effective, but if you want to avoid or simply enhance the effects of the pharmaceutical methods then aromatherapy and massage are good alternatives. Taking a natural supplement like Guarana would not fall in the same category, as you are still medicating.

I agree that lavender could help with migraine, but would you agree that some herbal cures such as Guarana may also help. My wife has had great success with this. Guarana is a native vine of the Brazilian Amazon, and can be bought in tablet form. It is claimed to relieve headaches and migraine quickly. Guarana is also used as an appetite-suppressant and is claimed as a slimming product. It is also reputed to be an effective sexual stimulant.
