Hormonal Migraines
The 'Estrogen Drop' headache is a specific and painful cyclical event.
The Biology Behind It
A significant number of women experience migraines right before or during the first few days of their period. This is triggered by the sudden withdrawal of estrogen, which affects the brain chemicals that process pain signals.
Natural Solutions
Maintain a very consistent sleep and meal schedule to avoid secondary triggers.
Stay meticulously hydrated—even mild dehydration can amplify a hormonal migraine.
Talk to your doctor about 'mini-prophylaxis'—taking medication 1-2 days before your expected headache starts.
