Yesterday, I have wrote about migraine causes, now lets talk about the symptoms and how to relieve migraine. For some people, coffee can cause migraine, but for other people, it can be used as migraine treatment. Like me for an example, when I got migraine, I take few sips of instant coffee. After few minutes, the migraine disappear. For note, I usually got migraine when late to eat. So, when I got migraine, I immediately ate even just a little and then take instant coffee to relieve it. If your migraine due to heavy thoughts, you can do treatment by calm your mind. Doing an activity that can relax your mind, for example listening to music, or lay down and closed your eyes.
