*What Is Migraine?*
Migraine is a chronic disorder characterised by recurrent severe headaches that can last up to 72 hours.
The headache is often unilateral (one sided). Associated symptoms may include nausea, increased sensitivity to light and sound, and aura.
Migraines are more common in women, and may possibly be related to fluctuating hormone levels. Certain triggers may also be a cause for migraine such as stress,exercise, hunger, chemical toxins, food additives (eg MSG), alcohol, caffeine, electromagnetic radiation, the menstrual cycle and fatigue.
Glutathione is the brain's most important antioxidant and free radical scavenger.
Glutathione plays a vital role in mopping up harmful toxins, so if glutathione get depleted these toxins can accumulate and cause cell damage.
Glutathione is able to chelate and remove mercury from the body via the liver.
Glutathione also plays a vital role in the production of melatonin, an endogenous antioxidant that is involved in regulating our circadian rhythms.
*How is Migraine Treated?*
Migraine sufferers typically take pain relieving medications (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, paracetamol or acetaminophen), however these medicines have the unfortunate side effect of further depleting glutathione stores in the body.
