Migraines
can be debilitating — the throbbing pain, nausea, and sensitivity to
light can seriously affect your daily life. While medications help, many people
now turn to natural remedies for additional relief and prevention. 🌱
Two
powerful herbs found in Refine, Ginkgo Biloba and Ginseng,
may reduce the frequency and severity of migraines. Let's dive into what
the science says. 👇
🌟 Ginkgo Biloba: Nature's Brain
Booster
Ginkgo
is known for improving blood flow and supporting cognitive function, but it may
also help with migraines.
🧠 How it may help:
- Enhances cerebral blood
flow, which may reduce vascular-related migraines.
- Acts as an anti-inflammatory
and antioxidant, both important in managing migraine triggers.
- It can reduce the frequency
of migraine with aura.
📚 Scientific Evidence:
- A study in Neurological
Sciences (2009) used a combination of Ginkgo Biloba, Coenzyme Q10, and
magnesium in children with migraines. The result? Significant reduction
in migraine frequency and duration.

⚡ Ginseng: The Energy and Resilience Root
Ginseng
is widely known for its adaptogenic properties — helping the body manage
stress, a major migraine trigger. 😩➡️💆
💪 How it may help:
- Supports stress
management, reducing migraine attacks linked to emotional or physical
strain.
- It may help stabilize hormonal
fluctuations, especially in women, another common migraine trigger.
- Provides neuroprotective
effects and boosts general brain health.
📚 Scientific Insight:
- While direct migraine
studies are limited, research in Frontiers in Pharmacology (2021)
highlights ginseng's anti-inflammatory and neuromodulatory effects,
which are both relevant for migraine support.

✨ Final Thoughts
While
more human studies are needed, combining Ginkgo Biloba and Ginseng
shows an exciting potential for reducing migraine frequency — mainly when used
consistently as part of a natural wellness routine.
