Dear Bob Liebert,

After having my first child I started seeing waves or spots in my eyes that would last about 15 minutes, then I would get such a migraine when it passes. I found out that it is called Migraine Aura. Is there any herbs that would help stop this Migraine? I think it has alot to do with my ovary. I get sore ovaries at least 3 times a month, but the doctor thinks my ovaries are fine. I know my ovaries are inflammed but what could I do about it?

Dear Friend,

I would suggest my HEADACHE/MIGRAINE Formula (Betony, Vervain, Skullcap, Meadowsweet, Rosemary). It can be taken as soon as "aura" or other signs are felt, and then several doses to ward off headache; also may be taken several days in a row as a preventative. This formula has traditional herbs with nervine, liver tonic and pain-relieveing properties.
It is likely that hormonal fluctuations could be a large factor in the migraines. The liquid extract of BLACK COHOSH has traditionally been used for ovarian pain and for migraines associated with uterine problems in general. Take for ovarian pain, and also add to HEADACHE Formula (in smaller doses) for headache.

Yours in healing,
Bob Liebert, herbalist
