Altamisa or Tanacetum parthenium: this great chamomile is the specific remedy for migraine headaches. Tanacetum flowers contain parthenolide which helps to control the level of serotonin in the body (too much serotonin causes alternating contractions and dilations of the cerebral arteries, leading to pain). Parthenolide blocks the release of serotonin, thus helping to prevent the onset of migraine attacks.

Magnesium chelate is an essential element, which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of migraines. Studies have found low levels of magnesium in the serum and tissues of migraine sufferers. It helps to relax the smooth muscle of blood vessels and decreases the risk of the onset of pain and may relieve migraine headaches. Migraine causes constriction of blood vessels, magnesium dilates blood vessels. Magnesium supplementation is effective in migraine-type headache suggesting regular use of magnesium to prevent migraine headaches.

Vitamin B-2 (Riboflavin): has great potential for use in helping to prevent migraine headaches. A deficiency of this vitamin can cause tissue inflammation and hypersensitivity to light. It has been reported that vitamin B2 can alleviate headaches or migraines. There appears to be a connection between vitamin B2 and the relief of migraine headaches. Riboflavin supplements taken in high doses help reduce the frequency of migraine headaches.
