🌿 Desert Herbs in Supporting Patients with Headaches and Migraine

Introduction

Migraine is a primary neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, pulsating headaches, typically unilateral, ranging from moderate to severe, and often accompanied by nausea, photophobia (sensitivity to light), and phonophobia (sensitivity to sound). It represents one of the most common forms of headache, significantly affecting quality of life and productivity.

Causes and Triggers

Although the exact mechanism of migraine is still under scientific investigation, several contributing factors and triggers have been identified:

• Psychological stress and persistent anxiety,
• Mental or physical trauma,
• Insufficient or irregular sleep,
• Hormonal and metabolic fluctuations,
• Environmental factors such as strong light, noise, or pollution.

These elements lead to neurovascular dysregulation and alterations in cerebral neurotransmitters, particularly serotonin, thereby generating the characteristic migraine pain.

Role of Desert Herbs

Wild desert herbs, rich in potent bioactive compounds, offer:

• Analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, reducing pain intensity,
• Neuro-calming and relaxing properties, lowering stress and nervous tension,
• Cerebral circulation regulation, improving oxygenation and neuronal performance.

These properties make them a promising natural alternative in managing migraine and other headache disorders.
