This year, I gained access to a membership (more exclusive than Prime) that only admits around 10 percent of the global population: the migraine club.Other notable membersinclude Serena Williams, Kristin Chenoweth, Lisa Kudrow, and Khloe Kardashian.
Of course, you should always consult a doctor for any health conditions and prescription treatment, but in terms of home remedies, I’ve learned a few hacks that work to prevent and relieve migraines — and all of them can be found at Amazon starting at $13.

Dizziness and motion sickness can be attributed to migraines, and my dizziness is most prominent when looking at my phone or computer screen. Blue light-blocking glasses have been a game-changer in reducing that dizziness because they use a filter to prevent blue light from reaching my eyes.
This pair earned a spot onOprah’s Favorite Thingsthis year and are similar to the ones I wear daily for work. These glasses have over 1,800 five-star ratings, and asone shopper wrote, “They’re stylish and very comfortable for extended periods in front of the computer.”

One reviewercalled it their “go-to for staying hydrated throughout the day” and noted that the “design is both stylish and practical, making it perfect for work, the gym, or on-the-go errands.” Plus, it’s insulated and keeps water cold for hours, so if you have a headache, you can rehydrate with some refreshingly cool sips.

Not allsleep masksare made equal, and while some can actually put pressure on your head, this type of mask distributes it to relieve tension while completely blocking out light. 30,000 Amazon shoppers have bought this mask in the last month alone.
Designed with memory foam and two indents for your eyes, this mask cushions the delicate parts of your face around your sinuses and eyes — common areas for migraine-related pressure headaches. Plus, the adjustable headband is completely smooth for comfort whether you’re a side, back, or stomach sleeper.

Light sensitivity is another symptom that pops up when you’re prone to migraines, andpolarized sunglassesmake a big difference when you’re outside. While I have a few more expensive pairs I’m partial to, this under-$20 two-pack from Amazon can’t be overlooked.
One shopper wrote, “They are lightweight and comfortable to wear, and I don’t get headaches from them.”Another praised the visual field: “The polarized lenses offered a clear, crisp view, reducing those pesky reflections that often get in the way of enjoying the great outdoors.”
