I rarely get migraines now, but I do know that I’m more likely to get one if a thunderstorm is in the air, then I start to feel better when the “storm breaks”. I found an explanation for this that makes a lot of sense – and a possible solution!
Several hours before a thunderstorm, low atmospheric pressure causes the number of positive ions in the air to increase dramatically, to levels that sometimes exceed 5000 ions per cm³. In contrast, during a storm, negative ions increase to several thousand per cm³ while positive ions decrease, often to below 500 per cm³.
So it appears to me that the malaise many people suffer before thunderstorms could be due to the excess of positive ions in the air, and relief comes when the balance shifts towards the negative ions.
What are negative ions?
Technically, negative ions are atoms or molecules of oxygen (or carbon dioxide) in the air that have gained an electron. But what YOU want to know, is how can they benefit you?
Negatively charged molecules of air, or negative ions, promote a sense of well-being for people.’ Charles Wallach, Consultant to the FDA
“Remember that feeling you’ve experienced near a waterfall or high in the mountains? Those are two places that thousands of negative ions occur. They create an effect on human biochemistry.” From the magazine Whole Self, Spring 1991, in article entitled “Ions and Consciousness”.
Negative ions occur naturally in the air and are produced by lightning, ocean surf and waterfalls. There are also electrical devices called ‘air ionizers’ that produce negative air ions. Such ionizers have been used in the treatment of seasonal winter depression (SAD).
What if there was portable and affordable device that would let you increase the negative ions in your environment, and promote this feeling of well-being?

Is there any specific information about negative ions and migraine sufferers? Yes!
Negative ions found to help prevent migraine headaches.
Migraine headaches can originate when an overload of serotonin causes the diameter of blood vessels leading to the brain to dilate, and get wider in the brain. Consequently, blood flow increases, and pain receptors in the vessels are stretched, which leads to the excrutiating pain associated with a migraine headache (Borne, 1998; others). In numerous tests and studies, negative ion treatment has proven to prevent the overproduction of serotonin, and therefore the subsequent migraine headaches (Kreuger, 1957; Soyka, 1991; Sulman, 1974).

Hello
Very informative post – thank you. Most of the cases people can avoid or get rid of headaches by changing small things in their life. Simple things like changing your pillow or mattress or sleeping habits can have a major effect in terms of headaches. Sometimes taking easy on caffeine can do the trick. People who are suffering from headaches should try different small things and pick the ones that work. Bills should be the last choice, they only have a temporary effect.
Best Regards
