From acupuncture to botanicals, all-natural strategies to end migraine misery are increasingly popular--and scientifically sound.

FEVERFEW

THE SCIENCE: Used to prevent migraines for centuries throughout Europe, this herb has a strong track record of reducing the frequency and severity of episodes as well as the vomiting and nausea that often accompany attacks.

HOW IT WORKS: One theory is that it prevents inflammation by discouraging the body's release of histamines.

RX: One 25 to 50 mg. capsule, twice daily for at least four to six weeks.

DRAWBACKS: Do not use if you're lactating or pregnant (the herb was also traditionally used as an abortifacient) or for more than six months without taking a brief hiatus.
