Answers:
Natural Progesterone Cream and Migraine Headaches

Transdermal application of topical progesterone immediately at the onset of a headache, has successfully aborted significant numbers of migraines. A suggested amount is up to 1 teaspoon of progesterone cream. This simple and often effective treatment, is worth trying with most female migraine sufferers.

Migraine headaches that occur with regularity in women only at premenstrual times are most likely due to estrogen dominance. Estrogen causes dilation of blood vessels, and thus contributes to the cause(s) of migraines. Dr. John Lee states that one of the many virtues of natural progesterone is that it helps restore normal vascular tone, counteracting the blood vessel dilation that causes the headache. He states that once again, progesterone is safe and treats the cause in a normal, physiologic way. The more dangerous pharmaceutical drugs can be reserved for the rare case that does not respond completely to progesterone.

* Also, the herb feverfew taken on a daily basis has been proven to reduce the intensity and/or frequency of migraines.
* Try 5-HTP for chronic migraines.
* Liver toxins are the cause of many migraines, so a liver cleanse might be helpful.

Foods that trigger headaches include cheeses, nitrates in hot dogs and luncheon meats, MSG, chocolate, citrus fruits.

My friend who got clusters (migraine on migraine on migraine) said the only thing that provided immediate relief was oxygen (ie his oxygen tank) I asked him about massage areas as I get just the occasionaly migraine and he said they were all BS and the medicine and oxygen were the only things for him. Sorry if that wasn't what you were looking for.
