Sleep Aids
Trying to sleep them off is usually the best way to get rid of a migraine. They can be tricky to find the perfect remedy to.
If I can’t get my room dark enough, this is my go-to! It even helps relieve some of the pressure I feel in my head too.
Double-Sided Satin Eye Mask
If I’m struggling to fall asleep during a migraine or even at the start of a migraine, this is what I’m grabbing first. Few sprays where I’m laying at (bed and pillow) and I’m good to go, helps me relax and calm myself easier
Dr Teal's Sleep Spray with Melatonin & Essential Oils, 6 fl oz
A great set of black-out curtains is a must for migraines. Especially when the light sensitivity is absolutely horrible. I like these because they even have slight noise reduction

Essential Oils/Herbal Scents
Some of the best remedies to help fight a migraine have usually been some kind of natural scent. Typically eucalyptus, lavender, and peppermint for me.
A great read to help understand more about essential oils and exactly how certain ones can help with migraines. Most help with pain from migraines but others help with triggers for migraines and nausea
Best Essential Oils and Scents for Headache and Migraine
I’m not sure this is the exact one I was given as a gift but I do enjoy using mine. However I feel like it’s too bulky with the inside in it, so I usually take it out. The aroma sticks to the mask even without the beads in it, and I usually set it on...
Aroma Season Weighted Lavender Eye Mask
I have not tried this yet but I really want to. I’ve been told by a lot of people that it really does work
Migrastil Migraine Stick Rollon - Peppermint
I never felt comfortable sleeping with a candle lit beside me, but I definitely always had it when I took a bath to try and beat a migraine! My favorite candle
Dr Teal's Aromatherapy Stress Relief Wellness Candle with Eucalyptus, Citrus & Spearmint, 6 oz
Before I started getting really bad hormonal migraines, a warm bath with this stuff was my go-to! It’s even great for when sore or sick, not just for migraines
Dr Teal's Epsom Salt Magnesium Soak, Relax & Relief with Eucalyptus & Spearmint, 3 lbs
I absolutely prefer a bubble bath over the Epsom salt if I’m strictly taking a bath to overcome a migraine. The scent is just a lot more potent in the bubble bath than with Epsom salt
Dr Teal's Foaming Bath with Pure Epsom Salt, Relax & Relief with Eucalyptus & Spearmint, 34 fl oz.
I don’t know if they’ve just changed it or don’t sell it anymore, but mine is a shower spray. It was my go-to when I just wanted a quick shower before got in bed to sleep it off.

Drinks and Food that help me
Either things I crave or know that help. Some are a little off the wall but we do whatever helps

The Link Between Migraine and Dehydration
I usually want something a bit fruity when I have a migraine and a sprite, so this is the perfect drink!
Ocean Water®
I usually always crave a smoothie when I’m not feeling well, and I’ve yet to find a better smoothie place than Tropical Smoothie!
Tropical Smoothie Cafe
Sprite is just a great go-to for migraines and headaches. I absolutely love Dr Pepper but dark sodas just make me feel worse when I’m already feeling sick.
Sprite Lemon Lime Soda Pop, 12 fl oz, 12 Pack Cans
A worst kind of migraine for me is when I’m throwing up and can barely move/function. If I’m to the point of throwing up constantly then sleep, electrolytes and crackers are my friend.
Electrolit Electrolyte Drink, Strawberry, 21.0 oz Bottle
I’ve been told by a lot of people that McDonald fries and whatever soda of their choice has helped them fight a migraine. Something to do with the combination of sodium and caffeine. Sprite or Dr Pepper with fries is my usual go-to
World Famous Fries® (Small): McDonald's French Fries
I barely eat during my migraines due to how bad my nausea gets, but I always feel a bit better once I make myself eat something healthy. Chocolate is great but only in moderation!
