Ingredients: Fever Few, White Willow Bark, Ginger, Peppermint, Butterbur, Wood Betony, Lemon Balm, Hops, Mullein, Yarrow Root, Rose Mary, Distilled Water and Vegetable Glycerin
Size: 1oz
Benefits:
. Feverfew:
. Reduces Vasodilation: By inhibiting serotonin and prostaglandins, it stops blood vessels from widening, a key factor in migraine pain.
. Decreases Inflammation: It lowers the body's production of inflammatory substances that contribute to migraine symptoms.
. Calms Nerve Signals: It can interfere with nerve responses that sense pain during a migraine.
. White willow bark:
. Absorption: You consume white willow bark extract or tea.
. Conversion: Your body metabolizes the salicin into salicyl alcohol, which then turns into salicylic acid.
. Pain Relief: Salicylic acid inhibits prostaglandins, chemicals that promote inflammation and pain signals in the nerves, similar to how aspirin works.
. Ginger:
. Anti-inflammatory: Ginger's compounds, gingerols and shogaols, reduce inflammation in the brain and blood vessels, which can contribute to migraines.
. Reduces nausea: It's well-known for settling upset stomachs, significantly easing migraine-related nausea and vomiting.
. Serotonin effects: Ginger extracts might increase serotonin, helping to constrict blood vessels and reduce inflammation, similar to some migraine medications
. Peppermint:
. Cooling & Numbing: Menthol triggers cold-sensing receptors in the skin, creating a cooling, numbing effect that distracts from pain.
. Muscle Relaxation: The cooling sensation helps relax tense muscles in the head and neck, common triggers for headaches.
. Dampens Pain Signals: Menthol may interfere with pain signaling pathways, contributing to its analgesic (pain-relieving) effect.
. Improves Oxygen Flow: It may help control blood flow and open sinuses, increasing oxygen to the head.
. Butterbur:
. Anti-inflammatory Action: Petasins block the production of inflammatory substances like leukotrienes and histamines.
. CGRP Inhibition: It stops the release of CGRP, a protein crucial in triggering migraine pain and inflammation.
. Calcium Channel Blocking: Petasins inhibit L-type calcium channels, which helps relax constricted blood vessels (vasodilation).
. Nociception Desensitization: It desensitizes TRP ion channels (TRPA1, TRPV1), reducing nerve sensitivity and pain signaling.
. Wood Betony:
. Improves Circulation: It's believed to enhance blood flow to the head, a common factor in headaches.
. Reduces Nervous Tension: A powerful nervine, it helps calm the mind and relax tense muscles in the neck and shoulders, which often trigger migraines.
. Stress Relief: Its calming effects make it ideal for headaches stemming from stress, anxiety, and overthinking.
. Digestive Support: When migraines are connected to digestive upset due to stress, Wood Betony can offer relief by addressing both.
. Lemon Balm:
. Calming Effect: Lemon balm contains compounds that increase levels of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a brain chemical that slows nerve activity, leading to feelings of calm and ease.
. Stress Reduction: By promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety, lemon balm can help alleviate stress, which is a common migraine trigger.
. Anti-inflammatory Properties: Its main active compound, rosmarinic acid, has anti-inflammatory effects, which might also contribute to pain relief.
. Improved Sleep: Its mild sedative qualities can improve sleep, and better sleep is crucial for managing migraines.
. Hops:
. Nervous System Relaxation: Hops contain compounds like alpha and beta acids that have a relaxing effect on the central nervous system, similar to GABA, helping to calm anxiety and restlessness often associated with tension headaches and migraines.
. Analgesic (Pain-Relieving) Effects: Hops have anodyne and analgesic properties, meaning they can help relieve pain, especially pain linked to nervous tension, making them useful for headaches.
. Anti-inflammatory Action: Components in hops, particularly bitter acids, act as antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory effects, which can protect brain tissue and reduce inflammation that may contribute to migraines.
. Sedative Properties: Hops are well-known sedatives, often used in hop pillows or teas to improve sleep and reduce stress, a major migraine trigger.
. Mullein:
. Anti-inflammatory Properties: Mullein contains flavonoids and saponins, which have anti-inflammatory effects that can potentially alleviate migraine pain, as inflammation is linked to migraines.
. Pain Relief: Saponins in mullein also possess pain-relieving (analgesic) properties that might help reduce migraine discomfort.
. Soothing Membranes: Mullein's tissue-coating and soothing effects might calm irritated internal membranes, contributing to overall comfort during a migraine.
. Traditional Use: It has been used in traditional medicine to treat various ailments, including migraine headaches, alongside issues like coughs and inflammation.
. Yarrow Root:
. Anti-inflammatory effects: Yarrow contains compounds like flavonoids (e.g., luteolin, apigenin) and chamazulene, which help calm inflammation, a known factor in migraines.
. Pain relief (Analgesic): It has pain-relieving properties, potentially reducing the intensity of migraine pain.
. Antispasmodic: Its constituents can help relax spasms, which may ease tension related to headaches.
. Rosemary:
. Anti-inflammatory & Analgesic: Rosemary contains compounds that act as natural pain relievers and reduce inflammation, which can contribute to headache pain.
. Improves Circulation: It helps increase blood flow, a benefit for headaches, notes Ascents.
. Reduces Stress & Anxiety: Rosemary's scent can calm the nervous system, easing anxiety and depression, known migraine triggers, according to Excedrin and Everyday Health.
. Neurotransmitter Support: Some research suggests it supports brain chemicals like acetylcholine, impacting mood and cognition
