Migraines – Is There a Cure for Migraines

Migraine sufferers often don’t receive the sympathy that they deserve as the condition is often tagged as ‘just a headache – everybody gets headaches’, but anybody who suffers a migraine knows just how debilitating the condition really is. All too often all that a sufferer can do is go and lie down in a dark quiet place and wait for the migraine to pass.

What causes a migraine?

There are a large number of theories on why a person suffers a migraine, and unfortunately for the ladies 75 percent of migraine sufferers are female. A number of triggers have been identified which include alcohol (red wine), foods that contain caffeine or MSG, glare, hunger, lack of sleep, perfume and stress, but recent reports indicate that the one common trigger is a lack of oxygen in the brain.

Now as simple as this may seem, almost all migraines can be cured if you know how to get more oxygen into your bloodstream and in particular to the brain. Our modern way of living presents a whole lot of problems that need to be overcome to allow better blood flow to the brain. What are you talking about you may well ask? Things like posture and the associated problems in the neck that incorrect posture induces all contribute to less blood flow to the brain.

Migraines were virtually unheard of a century ago, so it has something to do with our present lifestyle. People sitting at their desks all day and living in cities where there is a lot more air pollution are just a couple of things that have caused the incidents of migraines to dramatically increase in recent years.

It is not all doom and gloom. With a few simple exercises you can improve the flow of oxygen to the brain and eliminate migraines. I appreciate that some people who suffer migraines will be cynical of this information, but what if the information is true, as we know it is. That means that you will never have to purchase any expensive medications that have nasty side effects. In fact I reckon I could write a whole article on the nasty side effects that migraine medications cause. And if a migraine is the result of your brain screaming out for more oxygen, how many other benefits will there be if you increase the amount of oxygen in your blood? We would suggest there will be many additional benefits apart from eliminating your migraine, and just let me say that again – eliminate your migraine. No more laying down in that dark quiet place waiting for it to pass, no more bright lights and the other 1001 symptoms of migraines – Gone.

I also wish to point out that these exercises can be completed by a person at any level of fitness. You do not need to be super fit with tight abs to be able to complete the necessary exercises. They are just gentle exercises that anybody can complete – no excuses.
