Natural Migraine Management with MigraHerb®
MigraHerb® - the only licensed herbal medicine available to prevent migraine headaches based on traditional use only.
Migraines affect over 15% of the UK population and are more prevalent than diabetes, epilepsy and asthma combined1. Symptoms include an intense throbbing headache, nausea and vomiting, visual disturbances and sensitivity to light, sounds and smells, which can last up to 3 days during each attack. For sufferers looking for a long-term natural solution, MigraHerb® is the only licensed herbal medicinal product available to prevent migraine headaches.
MigraHerb® contains the active ingredient Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) a herb with scented leaves and flowers that resemble daises, which grows widely across Europe and North America. Feverfew used in clinical trials has reduced the severity, duration, and frequency of migraine headaches in double blind trials with migraine patients.2, 3
Lee Tomkins, Director of Migraine Action, a national charity supporting thousands of migraineurs around the UK, commented
“Migraines can have a huge impact on people’s lives but sufferers are often concerned about the long term adverse affects of taking prescription or over the counter medicines. A quality assured herbal medicine that is proven to be both safe and effective at preventing the symptoms will be welcomed by many sufferers looking for a complementary preventative solution to managing their migraines.”
MigraHerb® contains 100mg of Feverfew dry herb and is priced at £7.99 for 30 capsules. MigraHerb® is available from Boots stores nationwide.
