Never under estimate the benefits of tea

[emraldeyedauter]

Tea! That's all I needed! Good cup of tea! Super-heated infusion of free-radicals and tannins, just the thing for healing the synapses."

And Migraines apparantly.  I've had one for three days.  Dosing myself up on nurofen plus and sleeping a good deal but the ache wouldn't go away.  That is until I had a big cup of tea this afternoon. I drink it every now and then when I get a craving for it. Within ten minutes, I kid you not, my migraine had disappeared.  Obviously it had something in it that my body needed.  Wish I'd thought of it 2 days ago.

As a longtime, chronic migraine sufferer, I can tell you that it was probably the caffeine.

If OTC meds aren't working the best thing in the world for a headache is either coffee or tea that is loaded with caffeine.

There you go. I would have thought that the caffeie would have been bad. But apparantly not. Thanks for the advice.

... as a pharmacy student (and former migraine sufferer myself), I comepletely second this!

Caffeine is good for migraines because it constricts your blood vessels (which, when you have a migraine, are dilated). It's the same reason caffeine is bad for high blood pressure =)

Got to love a good cup of caffine it does wonders for the body, cures headaches, wakes a person up, gives a tad bit of energy in the late afternoon.

I am glad you are feeling better.

Clearly, you are part-time lord! ;)

Sorry you were in pain, but I'm glad you're feeling better now.

I don't drink tea (yes I know, what kind of Brit am I? lol) but I must remember to try a coffee next time I get one, it's something I wouldn't normally consider doing

Glad the tea helped. Caffeine always helps my rare migraines.
