Migraine is a highly prevalent primary headache disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of pulsating head pain, sensory hypersensitivity, and autonomic symptoms, significantly affecting daily functioning and quality of life. While pharmacological management remains the standard, the global shift toward safe, accessible, and cost-effective complementary approaches has intensified research on dietary and herbal interventions. Mint (Mentha spp.), widely used in traditional medicine, contains bioactive constituents such as menthol, rosmarinic acid, and flavonoids, which demonstrate anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and analgesic activities that may influence migraine pathophysiology. The present research explores whether daily consumption of mint leaves-infused water for 14 days can reduce self-reported migraine frequency among adults experiencing episodic migraines. This 14-day pilot survey design was selected to gather preliminary evidence regarding feasibility, self-perceived changes, and the potential magnitude of effect before designing controlled interventional trials. The research aims to evaluate the trend in migraine occurrence following routine intake of mint-infused water, assess participant-reported symptom modification, and identify whether this simple home-based remedy merits further clinical validation. Findings from this pilot may offer a foundation for subsequent randomized studies investigating herbal hydration-based therapies for migraine management.
