Abstract

Many Phytomedicine are effective for migraine sufferers, both as acute treatment and for prevention, particularly when coupled with the identification and elimination of migraine triggers. The natural products discussed here include Zingiber officinale (ginger) for migraine treatment and Cannabis sativa (cannabis), intranasal Capsicum annuum (cayenne), and Lavandula stoechas (Spanish lavender) volatile oil for treatment and prevention. Migraine is a common disabling condition mostly in adult population and shows female predominance. Unilateral throbbing type moderate to severe intensity headache is a common manifestation of the migraine though it may present with varied presentation.
