If you are a migraine sufferer then you are most likely on a constant search for pain relief and migraine prevention. But have you wondered if you are truly doing everything in your power to prevent your migraines? You’ve probably heard buzzwords around ‘leaky gut syndrome’ if you read anything in the health and wellness field. We all know that every system in our body is in some way shape or form connected to the rest of the body.

Migraines and digestive disorders are seemingly very closely related. A 2014 review article published in Frontiers of Neurology found that ‘People who regularly experience gastrointestinal symptoms have a higher prevalence of headaches, with a stronger association with increasing headache frequency’1. In other words, there is a relationship between general impairment of the stomach, intestine and even gall bladder, and head pain. We know that for many people, nervous tension can bring about headaches and migraines. Well, interestingly, in herbal theory, nervous tension is said to aggravate the ..read more

By Kevin Crocombe Migraine researcher Photo credit: Jernej Graj, Unsplash Floating is the most rapid and effective method of getting into a deeply relaxed state that I know of. Relaxing and lowering stress is an effective way to drain your migraine bucket. I love floating and have used it on and off as a relaxation tool since the late 1980s. Decades! The alpha state is a deeply relaxed state where the brain is very relaxed and very receptive to any stimulus. This is easy to achieve by lying in a float tank. I usually take my personal blood pressure monitor to the float centre an ..read more

Do you get migraines or headaches when you eat citrusy fruits like orange, lemon or pineapple? What about tomatoes, eggplant or cucumber? Or even spinach or broccoli? This might indicate that you are sensitive or allergic to salicylates, a natural chemical found in most fruits & veges, but particularly high in these ones. Salicylates are one of Mother Nature’s many ways of preventing rot and disease. They are also designed to protect the food being eaten by pests, like humans! Our body has its own detox functions that clear out the effects of salicylates. But there is a threshold, and a bu ..read more

By Fabian Goguta Researcher and Academic Writer, Montreal, Canada for Migraine Escape February 2018 Today, there are more and more people that use alternative/complementary medicine in order to treat or ameliorate conditions for which conventional medicine has no solutions. While some people misuse alternative medicine by attempting to treat serious medical conditions that require the use of conventional interventions, others can say that they have finally discovered a solution for chronic problems that seemed to have no remedy. For some reason, most of these “explorers” are middle-aged women ..read more

By Anupama Chandramouli PhD Scientist, New York, United States Migraine is a specific kind of headache that is characterized by throbbing recurring pain, ranging from moderate to severe and lasting from 4-72 hrs.  Often times it begins on one side of the head and progresses to the other side and is accompanied by nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light, sound and noxious smells.

It is often too easy for individuals who have never experienced migraines, to dismiss the severity, fluctuat ..read more

By Fabian Goguta Researcher and Academic Writer, Montreal, Canada Photo credit: Unsplash Migraines are a common problem for both females and males of all ages. While during childhood and old age, a similar percentage of females and males are affected by migraines, during reproductive years women are two times more likely to suffer from them. According to research, an estimated 18% of women suffer from migraines and the peak morbidity occurs during their most productive years (Warhurst et al., 2017). Treating chronic migraines can be challenging, as treatment often means taking a ..read more

The Christmas festive season is the time of year where most migraines occur, according to the statistics. Why? Because it's when we're most likely to overindulge, of course - maybe a little too much alcohol, rich food, sugary treats, and late nights. Not to mention the additional stresses from extra commitments and pressures, with the exercise program getting neglected at the same time. The immune system gets a little run down with burning the candle at both ends. To help you keep the migraines at bay, we've compiled some tips: 1. Find your migraine triggers Many people find their triggers by ..read more

I received a message from one of our customers yesterday informing me about the results she has obtained by changing her application protocol for Migraine Escape. By applying Migraine Escape to her gall bladder area before bed and again in the morning after a shower, plus a continuous application along her gall bladder meridian line (across her forehead, down her jaw, and down her neck) she has in 2 days cleared up any sign of her migraine pain and is feeling considerably better!* Background Amy - not her real name as she wishes to remain anonymous - first started using Migraine Escape after v ..read more

There is considerable interest in the relationship between a migraine and a stroke. It is very important that you have your migraines diagnosed by a qualified medical practitioner to rule out any other medical conditions.  What is a Stroke? A stroke is a brain attack that can happen at any time to anyone. A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is cut off. The brain cells are deprived of oxygen, and without oxygen, the cells start to die. The brain cells that die during the stroke can no longer be controlled by you. You lose your ability to control that part of your brain. Mor ..read more
