DermaMed Migracell is the result of years of research into the development of a highly effective, all-natural topical treatment for reducing migraine and its painful sequelae. Migracell Balm may be used prophylactically to limit migraine recurrence, as well as during a migraine episode to halt further progression.
The synergistic combination of therapeutic ingredients in DermaMed Migracell target pain and inflammation of migraine in a number of ways:
regulates and decreases the inflammatory response of the cerebral neurovascular system;
limits serotonin release from platelets, a key contributor to the inflammatory cascade;
activates the brain opiate system to increase production of naturally-occurring, pain-relieving neurotransmitters and raise the pain threshold;
inhibits the contractile response of vascular smooth muscle, relieving vasospasm and improving brain circulation which is diminished during a migraine episode.
Migracell Balm may be used prophylactically to limit migraine recurrence, as well as during a migraine episode to halt further progression.
INGREDIENTS: Water, Beeswax, Shea Butter, Evening Primrose Oil with Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA), Essential Oils of Peppermint, Melissa, Blue Chamomile, Rosemary and Lavender, Extracts of Feverfew, Linden and Ginger, Olive Squalane, Magnesium, Taurine, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Grapefruit Seed Extract (Natural Preservative).
All herbs used are approved by Commission E Monographs.
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:
Feverfew: Feverfew inhibits the release of platelet metabolites that are potent mediators of inflammation and contribute to painful cerebrovascular spasm.
Evening Primrose Oil: Contains the essential fatty acids omega-3 (linolenic acid) and omega-6 (linoleic acid) as well as GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), and is an important modulator of the inflammatory response.
Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA): Gamma-Linolenic Acid is necessary for the production of beneficial, anti-inflammatory PG1 series of prostaglandins.
Linden: Linden (Lime Blossom) has anti-histamine, anxiolytic and relaxing properties and helps reduce smooth muscle tension associated with vascular spasm.
Ginger: Ginger is vasodilating and anti-spasmodic, helping to improve circulation and relieve painful vascular and muscular spasms. Reduces platelet 'stickiness.'
Chamomile: Chamomile helps inhibit the release of histamine and the subsequent inflammatory response.
Melissa: Melissa essential oil modulates the secretion of immunoreactive beta-endorphins (part of the brain opiate system for controlling pain) through the action of its high ascorbic acid content, and enhances a number of aspects of lymphocytic function in the immune system. It has powerful anti-inflammatory, analgesic and sedative effects.
Peppermint Oil: Peppermint essential oil is analgesic and anti-inflammatory and is an excellent topical pain reliever.
Olive Squalane: Olive Squalane helps maintain healthy skin hydration and is natural skin penetration enhancer that facilitates absorption of active ingredients.
Magnesium: Magnesium exerts rapid and sustained relief of acute migraine pain by regulating neuromuscular activity due to its effect on serotonin and other migraine-related receptors and neurotransmitters.
Taurine: Taurine is an essential amino acid that has protective effects against cellular damage due to hypoxia and re-oxygenation. Also decreases sympathetic outflow.
Riboflavin: Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) regulates mitochondrial oxidative metabolism, maintains endogenous glutathione levels (major anti-oxidant) and is important for lymphocyte replication and mediating the immune response.
Application: Unless otherwise directed by a physician, apply sparingly to forehead, neck and lower neck. Unlimited usage.
Cautions and Contraindications: No side effects or contraindications. Non-irritant to the skin. Not to be taken internally. Not tested on animals.
