Reason for Headaches and Cures?

[Gale]

Hi all,

Would love to know everyones input on headaches and migranes in acupuncture; what can cause them and how to fix it?

Something I personally always suffer from and just resort to taking pain killers and waiting it out. The pain doesn’t even go.

Thanks,

There can be so many reasons for headaches and migranes from low blood sugar, anemia, cold etc but the physiological action that happens is tensing of neck/back of the head/shoulder muscles. So without actually being able diagnose it, for pain relief you should look to relieve that muscle tension. Try hot epsom salt baths, painkillers (as you are doing), making sure you cover up your neck and avoiding a pure carb diet but still making sure you are eating regularly.

I find massaging my neck and head a good way to get relief from the stress. Though I have to say my headaches are never as severe as my wifes. Mine seems to be from a lack of caffeine. haha

My migraines come about during my period, it’s really tough to stop it. I feel your pain 🙁

Jenny, eating in regular intervals would really help that kind of pain. And try not to eat cakes and chocolate though as the cravings come, but don’t hold back on eating. The body is going through a breaking down process and needs food to heal.
