Coffee

Drinking a strong cup of coffee may help to reduce the effects of the migraine. As coffee has caffeine it helps by restricting the blood vessels causing the receptors to be blocked. You can add a few drops of lemon juice, freshly squeezed. But be warned that for some people caffeine can actually make the migraine worse. Or it can cause another rebound headache.  

Feverfew

Did you ever hear about feverfew? It is a herb that is used to help combat migraines effectively. As it contains parthenolide. It works because it helps to prevent inflammation and help to relax the muscles. As it helps by neutralizing prostaglandins. This means it helps to reduce the pain signals.
