Migrains

For those who have never suffered a migraine headache they appear to be annoyances or a slight disability that isn’t life-altering. Because people who have never experienced a migraine can only relate them to their own experiences (of ordinary headaches) they often think people who suffer with them over react!

However, anyone who has ever suffered with a migraine headache knows only too well just how disabling they are! For those people who suffer from migraines even a flickering light can start one. They are so debilitating that they need to cover their eyes and lie in a darkened room. Migraine headaches are not just a nuisance they are life-altering!Although migraine headache suffers number in the tens of thousands no-one really knows how they are caused.

Therefore, without a root cause for a condition it can be hard for conventional medicine to find a cure.For this reason migraine headaches are treated by trying to reduce the symptoms rather than the cause. However, the treatment is very often inadequate and gives only the slightest relief from pain.However, there is hope. It is known that stress can greatly affect the frequency and strength of a migraine headache.

This is one of the reasons why hypnosis has become a popular and effective tool for the treatment of migraine sufferers.As hypnosis reduces, and sometimes, eliminates stress and the emotional causes of it, it is ideal as a treatment for migraine headaches.

Although its use as a treatment is still somewhat controversial among some right-wing medical practitioners it does have a very high success rate.However, al medical experts recognise the role that mind plays in repairing and maintain a healthy body therefore why there are still some people who doubt the power of the mind to control physical symptoms baffles me!In fact, the mind-body role in healing is taken so seriously that hypnosis is now available as a conventional medical treatment for many psychological and physical ailments.

In fact, in Britain clinical hypnosis can even be accessed for free on their National Health Service!The mind has the capability to release endorphins and regulate a vast number of other chemical reactions in both the brain and the body therefore hypnosis can easily be used to reduce pain and suffering.It is for this reason that hypnosis has become an extremely popular method of pain management and is even used by women during childbirth for a pain-free and comfortable birthing process.

Not only can the symptoms of migraine headaches, and the pain it causes, be reduced and eliminated but migraine attacks can also be reduced, or entirely eliminated, through the use of hypnosis!Although the mind/body connection is still somewhat of a mystery, as is hypnosis and migraines, the effects are well documented. Hypnosis can help you with your migraines.
