People have been trying to tame the migraine beast for thousands of years. Some early healers bored holes into their patients’ skulls, the Greeks inhaled the smoke of burning coffee beans, while in ancient Egypt, doctors tied herb-stuffed clay crocodiles to migraine sufferer’s heads. Fortunately, we live in more enlightened times and there are now medically sound approaches that are relatively simple and inexpensive—and they don’t leave scars or involve extreme fashion statements.  \u003cp\u003eYour complete guide to taking charge of your migraines and getting your life back, \u003ci\u003eMigraines For Dummies\u003c\/i\u003e offers a focused, fleshed-out program that works in the real world.
