Migraine relief

I've never experienced a migraine before, but I can imagine. Severe pain in the half head, nausea (urghhh), light and sound sensitivity. I'd like to think that it's like having wind in your tummy and its side effects, plus painful headaches and alcohol intoxication. *grin* So far the basic migraine relief there is in the western medicinal market is painkillers. The Chinese usually go for acupuncture or reflexology.
