Hi Ellen,

 

i also often have to deal with migraines.

There is a sequence i got when i posted something on the list about

migraines, and most of the time it works:

 

------

some advice from Ravi

Singh on headaches (some of the causes are tension which reduces

blood flow to the brain or a toxic condition in the body). Here is a

sequence to try:

 

1. Shoulder shrugs - inhale the shoulders up, and release them down -

powerfully for 1 minute

 

2. Neck rolls, taking 8-10 seconds per complete turn, 7 times, and

repeat in the other direction.

 

3. Press the thumbs hard under the cheekbones for 1 minute.

 

Other rememdies: soak your feet in cold running water (this works

great for me!), drink lots of water during the day, get lots of fresh

air.

 

Another cause of headaches/migraines is the accumulation of mucus in

the body, particularly the mucus that gathers in the back of the

throat overnight, which is why we recommend brushing the back of the

tongue every morning until you gag, enabling you to spit out the

collected mucus.

i hope this help,

 

m-c

Dear Ellen:

 

Here is a reply that Sadhant sent me, and has helped

my wife for migraines.

 

"From everything I've read, the best approach

to migraine is to eliminate or reduce the

factors that trigger headaches: Food allergies,

histamine-containing / histamine-releasing foods,

alcohol (particularly red wine), dietary chemical

additives ( another plus for organic food ),

stress, fatigue, eyestrain, etc.

 

The most effective and safest substance to

treat migraine is 5-HTP (Hydroxy Tryptophan).

This amino acid is a digestive precursor of

serotonin, meaning your body converts it to

serotonin. Serotonin acts to constrict blood

vessel and relieve pain in several ways. Recent

studies show that there is a bi-directional

influence between depression and migraine - they

each trigger and worsen the other, which

implies that tying to treat both at once

should be particularly effective - improving your

serotonin levels nutritionally with 5-HTP is as

effective or better than using higher-risk SSRI's

( selective serotonin re- uptake inhibitors).

 

This also implies that yoga kriyas that act

on depression would be a good choice -

Gururattan's "Relax and Renew" contain several

sets for depression.

Love & joy, Sadhant Singh"

 

I also have some other suggestions from a friend, but

my wife hasn't tried them, I cannot tell you if they

work or not, what has worked for her is the 5-HTP,

 

1.- Try eating a bowl sun warm fresh strawberries

(warm in sun or over steaming water)

 

2.- Try healing a basin (bowl, pan) of hot water, as

hot as she can stand it without discomfort and keep

dipping the hands in the water for about half an hour

(that try to raise the temperature of the hands and

keep them warm for about half an hour)

 

Light & Peace

Dear Ellen,

I also used to have migraine headaches. I used acupuncture and have not had

one in 13 years!! My acupuncturist told me mine were due to a hormone

imbalance. Yours might be caused by another problem. (apparently there are

many different reasons why people get them).

 

Blessings,

Siri Ram K.

Dear Ellen,

 

Massage has been beneficial to those with migraine headaches. I do not know

where you live, but Ben Benjamin has a headache clinic in Cambridge at the

Muscle Therapy Institute.

 

Blessings, Samantha (Ardas K)
