Question: Chinese herbal Migraine med for 6 months ...reduced frequency... permanent?

Answer:

Dear Sayed;

Migraine is a neurological disease for which, at this time, there is no known cure. Quite probably the herbal medicine is a very effective Migraine preventive. Although the effects may last for some time after you complete the course of the medication, the symptoms will most likely return again at some point.

Good luck,
Teri Robert and John Claude Krusz
