A migraine is much more intense than a headache. It can cause debilitating, throbbing pain, sometimes it is one sided pain, other times it can travel to other parts of the head and neck. It can leave you in bed for hours and sometimes for day. Any type of movement, light and sound and other triggers may cause symptoms of fatigue, nausea, irritability, vision changes, elevated blood pressure and others. It's important to work with a provider who understands what triggers a migraine and how to properly address them.
Let's talk about these triggers.
Stress is a major migraine trigger, affecting many migraine sufferers. Figuring out what those stressors are in your life and reducing them with RSTR relaxation therapy, structured physical movement, and consistent restorative sleep each night can help manage stress and reduce its impact on migraines.
Subluxation is when the vertebrae in the neck lose their normal motion or position, which can lead to local inflammation and affect the nerves in the spinal cord that carry messages between the brain and the rest of the body which can lead to incorrect information sent throughout the body. Seeking a chiropractor or another practitioner who has experience and understanding of how to properly realign the atlas and the vertebrae to restore the proper communication in the brain and body is another key to helping you heal.
Women often experience menstrual or pre-menstrual migraines due to hormonal fluctuations during their menstrual cycle. Balancing all your hormones using RCO Hormone Kit specifically created for women or Men's hormone support can help along with a nutrient rich and hormone balancing anti-inflammatory eating plan.
Poor sleep and chronic stress can trigger migraines, especially if you're not getting consistent restorative rest. The body recharges itself during the night, making your sleep a priority is a must aiming for 7-8 hours of sleep each night and avoiding all blue light disturbances from any electronic devices at least 3 hours prior to bedtime as well as avoiding caffeine, sugar and alcohol.
Hydration is very important for our bodies. Hydrate with water and nourish and repair your body with nutrient rich foods that are fuel for restoring your cells and body. Drink 8-10 glasses of water per day, more if you work out or during the hot months. Did you know that caffeine, sugar and alcohol dehydrate the body and are neurotoxins for the brain. It takes 4 glasses of water (32 ounces) to rehydrate the body after only 1 cup of coffee.
Avoid these neurotoxins found in our food: artificial sweeteners, high fructose corn syrup, trans fats and hydrogenated oils-the unhealthiest of fats, trans fats should always be avoided, artificial flavorings, MSG (monosodium glutamate), artificial colors, preservatives (BHT/BHA).
Can parasites make you sick? Absolutely. Some symptoms can include brain fog, fatigue, stomach bloating, they can make food sensitivities and food allergies worse, skin issues, moodiness. It interferes with normal hormone levels, which can cause mood fluctuation, nausea, and migraines, light and smell sensitivities. Doing a quarterly parasite cleanse can be helpful, especially if you have pets.
Studies show that using hydrotherapy can help migraines. Alternating between hot/cold water if that's your cup of tea, but if it is not, then placing an icepack on the back of your neck while submerging your hands in very warm water & increasing the temperature by five degrees typically aborts the headache in 15-20 minutes. Another great option would be to use RCO Relief drops that combines the most anti-inflammatory agents into one bottle as well as magnesium gel. Magnesium is important for your entire body and for every process. It is important to incorporate magnesium into your daily life. Kids and adults today are magnesium deficient.
