Sinus Pressure Migraine

I found an interesting snippet about how one person’s cure for sinus pressure migraine (while flying) was actually triggering migraine in a fellow passenger. Kansas City’s Dear Abby, highlights an interesting dilemma for a woman with migraine. Sinus Pressure Migraine  I’d like to respond to the letter from “Hurting in Virginia Beach, Va.,” who complained that the smell of mint chewing gum triggers her migraines. Many gum chewers, like me, have good reasons for doing it. I chew gum on planes [...]

Migraine and Festive Cheer?

As we move into the Christmas and New Year festivities many people crack open slightly more bottles of wine than usual. Some white, some rose and some red. It isn’t the first time red wine has been mentioned on this blog and it probably won’t be the last. But, if red wine is one of your migraine triggers you’ll be well advised to avoid it over the holiday period. Often a migraine is triggered by the cumulative effect of several [...]

Herbs for Headache

I am often asked about using herbs for migraine prevention, and funnily enough it was through the use of Feverfew for migraine that I first became aware of complementary therapy at all. I am not a herbalist. My training was as a nutritionist, so – while I am aware that herbal medicine can be very effective – I urge you to consult with a qualified herbalist rather than trying to self-prescribe, because of the possibilities of interactions with other remedies.

Migraine and Hypnotism

Anyone who has bought my migraine ebook will be aware of the section on hypnotherapy, commonly referred to as hypnotism, and migraine. The book mentions some trials where hypnosis was used successfully for migraine. Hypnosis  has been used as one of the oldest healing techniques since the ‘sleep temples’ of ancient Egypt. However, in 1955 the British Medical Association endorsed the practice of hypnosis and since that time it has been recognized as a valuable addition to conventional medical treatment, [...]

Reflexology and Migraine

Reflexology is a safe and effective therapy for migraine sufferers.   For anyone unfamiliar with reflexology, it is the practice of applying pressure to reflexes in the feet and hands that correspond to specific body organs.  By stimulating nerves on specific areas of the feet and hands, we can stimulate blood flow, lower stress and eliminate accumulated toxins in the corresponding organs and systems of the body.  By this means, many forms of sickness and disease can be reversed or at [...]

Migraine and Indian Head Massage

Having recently enjoyed an Indian Head Massage, using a Christmas gift voucher from my son, I asked holistic therapist, Pauline McKittrick, from Really Good Life, for her thoughts on how Indian Head Massage could help migraine sufferers.

Here’s Pauline, on “Indian Head Massage”: I wanted to comment on how one of the therapies I regularly use with [...]

Women and Migraine

Here’s an interesting article on women and migraine in Hospital News, Canada’s Health Care Newspaper Online. To set the scene, Dr. Allan Gordon, Director of the Wasser Pain Management Centre and a specialist in the treatment and management of migraine pain, speculates as to why women are approximately three times more likely to be affected by migraine than men. Many women will have observed that their migraines are linked to hormone fluctuations. As an example, one-third of female migraine sufferers [...]
