migraine relief

I’ve been struggling with migraine headaches the last couple of months. I don’t have one right now, but yesterday it was hovering, just below the surface, waiting to explode. It’s been slow at work recently, so I did a bit of research online into migraines. I’m all about taking herbal remedies (not pharmaceuticals) for whatever ails you. Turns out, there is an herb called Feverfew that will work on migraines. So, at lunchtime yesterday, I take off to go to London Drugs. They didn’t have any Feverfew. So, I bought some shampoo that was on sale instead, and some of my husband’s favourite chocolates. Then, instead of coming back to work right away, I decided to take off down the road to the Health Food Store. They didn’t have Feverfew either. So, instead, I bought some “Migraine & Headache” pills. They have Willowbark in them, along with a bunch of other herbs. Willowbark? Isn’t that the stuff that they make aspirin out of? I hope I didn’t just spend $18 on glorified aspirin! Although, right now, I’m not sure I care. The pills worked great. Got rid of the migraine. Gave me real bad heartburn though. But that’s ok. Heartburn I can deal with. Migraines I can’t.

The pills are called "Brad King's Ultimate Migraine and Headache Relief". And, they really did work!
