The top 3 herbals I recommend for migraines include B2 400 mg/day, Coenzyme q10 >120 mg and magnesium. Now a proprietary med has put in all 3 and got 30% less headache days.

Used:
- B2 400 mg/day
- Co-enzyme q10 150 mg
- Magnesium 600 mg
- multiple other nutrients
Results:
- Reduced headaches days 6.2 to 4.4 (30% reduction)
- minimal intensity changes
- “No patient in the placebo group rated the efficacy as very good, whereas 18% of the patients treated with [active treatment] rated the efficacy as very good. Nearly half of the patients in the placebo group rated the efficacy as poor (43.9%) compared to only 29.1% in the active treatment group.”
Comments – would have hoped for more but did not directly deal with several triggers – diet, sleep, stress, neck and TMJ
