Crippling pain; it’s usually the first thing that one associates with a migraine attack.
But, for millions of people, suffering with migraine pain also means dealing with nausea, stomach upset, and motion sickness. In fact, it is estimated that 8 out of every 10 migraine sufferers experience nausea with their migraine – that’s no small statistic.
Many medications used to treat migraine pain such as NSAID’s (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like aspirin and ibuprofen, and Triptans, like the brands Frova and Imitrex even list stomach upset as one of the most common side effects. As if trying to find relief from the blinding pain wasn’t enough of a burden, the medication that can help relieve that pain can cause or severely worsen your nausea.
While there are many anti-nausea medications available by prescription and over-the-counter, in a variety of forms like pills, suppositories, syrups and injections, many of these medications – like promethazine hydrochloride (most commonly known as the now-discontinued brand Phenergan) and metoclopramide (Reglan, Metozolov) – have earned “black box” warnings from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This means that use of the drugs carries “significant risk of serious or life-threatening adverse side-effects.” Though these medications are highly effective at lessening or eliminating the nausea caused by migraine, for many, the risk of a potentially life-threatening side effect is just too great. As a result, each year millions choose to forgo these risks of serious complications by turning instead to herbal remedies for stomach relief.
Natural relief for migraine sufferers with nausea
One of the most commonly used and widely-recommended of these herbs is ginger, a plant native to Asia. The root and leaves of the ginger plant have been used for over 2,000 years to treat nausea, stomach upset and other ailments.
Recent clinical studies have shown ginger root extract to be highly effective for relief of nausea, without the potential side effects. While ginger is available in a host of different forms, consumers should be wary when purchasing ginger-extract remedies. Many of these formulations contain little of the plant itself and are virtually rendered useless when absorbed after during the digestion process.
Ginger has been shown to be more effective and act more quickly when it can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the tissue of the mouth, rather than going though the digestive system.
With this knowledge, PuraMed BioScience has developed LipiGesic M, a carefully balanced blend of inflammation-reducing feverfew and ginger, in a patent-pending gel formula that is applied under the tongue (sublingually). This not only allows it begin working more quickly than pills and capsules, but also avoids the digestive tract, as it is absorbed directly into the bloodstream.
