Few things aremoreincapacitating than a migraine. A migraine is sufficient enough to make you battle to think straight, and in many cases can result inus wanting to do nothing other than sit in a dark room with your eyes closed.
But the world won't let you hide for long. We need to operate on a day to day basis for our professional and home life. Thus this is why fifteen percent of the world population who have to live with migraines are alwaysdesperately searching for ways to tackle them.
The problem is that traditionalmethods of dealing with these extreme headaches is pretty much limited to painkillers. Now painkillers can be useful in the lighter migraines, or helping to reduce the agony of the heaviest migraines, but they do not cure the problem and we are often very still not able to live as per normal. Even worse the more powerful the painkiller the more the side effects (generally not 'being all there'), stopping you functioning on a normal basis anyway.
Why Migraines Happen
Relief is more available the more that we start to comprehend what are the causes of migraines. Recent research leads us to think that a migraine is causedusually on one half of the head or the other, by the unprovokedexpanding of blood vessels which flow to the brain.
These expanded blood vessels are then forced to rub against nerve ends in the soft tissue – which causesnerve irritation.Irritation of the nervesdoesn't sound like much but that is more or less what pain is, nerves which react to stimulus.
Mangosteens and Migraines
A mangosteen is a fruit found in Indonesia. Purple and green in color the mangosteen is a similar size as a satsuma and known for tasting great.
So where do mangosteens come into helping migraine sufferers?
Knowing what a mangosteen is does not share with us the complete picture. What is needed is to understand is what is beneath the surface, what specific health benefits it is that the mangosteen can provide us with.
There are twostrong benefits you can get from mangosteen.Firstly it acts as a gentle pain killer, helping to douseour reaction to nerve stimulus, reducing the pain that we are feeling. Considering thisissue is probably the main problem with migraines that is important – but as pain killers have shown us that can only do so much. But this is also coupled with the anti-inflammatory properties of mangosteen. Because this amazing fruit is able to reduce inflammation it means that the expanding blood cells that are the cause of the migraines are less likely to expand. When coupled with a less sensitive nerve area this can mean a cessation of all headaches.
Whilst the mangosteen is still undergoing study by some fo the leading scientists in the field the concept of it helping migraine sufferers is a strong one – and anecdotal evidence of those who have used mangosteen to help deal with migraines is very strong.
