Migraine- Is
that just a headache ?
“Everyone might say migraine is just a headache, but
those who get it to say it is more than a headacheâ€.
Migraine is a type of severe headache affecting a wide
population of people especially females. This is also called a sick headache
as mostly is associated with other symptoms like nausea, vomiting, inability to
do normal chores, and severe excruciating pain in the head.
Let’s define this.
A migraine is a complex neurological disorder that is paroxysmal in
nature which means it is acute and of severe intensity and it is recurrent.
Generally, the pain is experienced on one side of the head
and it may or may not be affected by other symptoms.
Based on that, there a different type of migraine headache and it occurs in different phases.
Common triggers for migraine:
Naturopathic Treatment for migraine:
It is essential to get complete knowledge about the nature of the disease, the trigger factor, etc, in simple words, complete knowledge about the migraine is key to the treatment part.
The rule of thumb is to stay away from the trigger factors
which applies to your migraine or if encountered with it start the treatment
earlier so it doesn’t progress to severe throbbing pain.
Maintaining a diary to track everything from what we
eat and tracking our mood will help in finding out the trigger and analyze the premonitory
phase.
Keep a routine of everything like having food
on time, having adequate sleep, etc which can help a long way in the treatment.
Like every other disease, enough hydration is
essential for the homeostasis of the body which tends to be disturbed in
migraine.
Having a tender coconut water diet helps balanced out
the electrolyte needed for the body or having water of one tender coconut in
your daily diet is good.
As this condition has a lot to deal with the nervous
and vascular system that the nerves and blood vessels hydrotherapy can
become handy during the treatment. By regulating the blood flow and calming the
nerve involved in pain we can reduce the pain in migraines. Taking a hot immersion
bath with alternate hot and cold water pouring over the head and a head massage
will alter the blood flow to the head region.
Having a naturopathic diet with a week of diluted
fruit juices or vegetable juices followed by having fruit diet for 2 weeks,
taking one kind of fruit at a time will ease the digestive load so it will be
easy one the body.
Having a spinal bath to soothe the nervous system
facilitates sleep which is a hard-to-reach fruit during a migraine attack.
Acupuncture, traditional Chinese treatment is an excellent way
to treat the pain without any side effect which comes with other painkillers.
This treatment interferes with a thing called as a pain gate which regulates the
pain signals from different part of the body which let the brain whether to
sense it or not. So, acupuncture can work wonders in managing pain during a
migraine attack.
Massage therapy is proven to reduce the frequency of attacks of
migraines. A weekly massage to the neck, head, shoulders, back essentially can ease
the tensed muscles so that the blood vessels are not affected much. Massage
therapy also gives a sense of relaxation to the body.
As we know some triggers like emotional stress,
physical stress can be managed by the regular practice of yoga. Pranayama
practice and regular practice of asanas like simple neck stretching
exercises, padhahastasana, shashangasana, setubandhasna, marjariasana,
adhomukashavasana,shavasana to ease the muscles and regulating the hormones
and maintaining homeostasis.
Like this, a holistic well-balanced approach towards
treating migraine is essential to prevent the recurrence of the condition and also
