Looking for a natural way to kill that piercing migraine? A recent study involving 84 women shows that there's a natural cure for headache sufferers, and it's roughly effective as taking today's leading medications -- sex. This may come as bad news for those of you who like to use headaches as an excuse to avoid a roll in the hay, but 61% of women in the study reported some kind of relief -- compared to 60-80% reporting the same relief with the latest migraine drugs.

Perhaps the most intriguing part of the survey is that 20% of the women reported that sex didn't just dull the pain -- but it actually cured their migraine -- compared to 30% with today's top migraine drugs. Plenty of theories have been put forth as to why this natural remedy is so effective, but researchers aren't exactly sure how to proceed with the experiment in a way that's adequately scientific. Ha!

Worried about the harmful-side effects of many of our over the counter drugs, droves of people are shunning pharmacy culture and turning to alternative techniques like hypnotherapy, herbal powders, essential oils, etc. While most of these methods have yet to be validated by the scientific community, sex therapy actually has data to support it. Don't get too excited though, the study also found that sex actually triggered headaches in 1/10th of migraine sufferers. If that's you, bummer.
