What is a Migraine?
Migraines are far more than “just” a sever head ache. The text books describe a migraine as “hemi-cranial” (half head) so it is not an all over head pain.

SYMPTOMS
1)       Typically, but not always, it starts with a “sparkly” edged loss of vision affecting the edges of vision often at stressful times.
2)       After that you get severe pain in half the head
3)       You will probably get nausea and the pain is so severe you can not function at all
4)       The problem can last for a few hours and in worse cases a few days

SOLUTIONS
Lie down in darkened room and try to relax
Painkillers
Magnetic Necklace although these are best used preventatively see C) below
Headband BHB-2
Magnetic Neck Support or Spot Magnets dependent on cause see below
The Premier Ball Bracelet appears to be very effective for some people over time.
A less expensive version is The Tranquility Ball Bracelet

CAUSES
The main triggers for a Migraine seem to be
A)     Stress and tension- Emotional
B)     Body chemistry –Hormonal
C)     Physical Muscular disruption to the blood supply to the head
D)     Food intolerance- see conclusions below

DESCRIPTION - Body Chemistry 
These Migraines usually occur in a pattern that is at regular time related intervals. In women this is often connected to the menstruation cycle

SOLUTIONS
Keep a diary to establish the cycle or pattern and learn the “advance warning” signs than at first sign- or when an attack due-
Wear a Magnetic Necklace
Wear a Magnetic Headband BHB-2
The Premier Ball Bracelet appears to be very effective for some people over time.
A less expensive version is The Tranquility Ball Bracelet
Lie down and try to relax in dark room
Pain killers

DESCRIPTION - Stress and Tension 
This  starts emotional trauma in the brain which in turn triggers the Migraine. 
The mechanism may be that the stress causes a tightening of muscles.

SOLUTIONS
Try to learn techniques that reduce tension; i.e. Mediation Yoga Tai Chi
Wear a magnetic neck support at night when you are tense
At first sign of tightening muscles apply  S-2 Ferrite 800 Spot magnets (these come on plaster) onto the tight areas .

DESCRIPTION - Physical
In this type of trigger you often get a tightening of the muscular structure in the upper back. There is an area between the spine and the shoulder blades where the muscles get very tight and this extends up into the neck. This seems to reduce the blood supply to the head and this in turn triggers the Migraine. The tightening may be due to stress but can also be due to over use of muscles.

SOLUTIONS
At the first sign of tightening muscles apply Ferrite S-2 800 Spot magnets  (these come on plaster) onto the tight areas .
Practice some form of relaxation

If the Migraine has taken hold and too late for reduction methods- Lie down in darken room
Take painkillers
Headband BHB-2

CONCLUSIONS
Migraines are very debilitating and can ruin the victim’s life; even those who suffer infrequently find that the fear of an attack causes problems. Try to keep a record and establish a pattern; see if the pattern is related to any particular activity or to a particular food. Some people do have Migraines as a reaction to certain foods. One often quoted is chocolate but other food intolerances may be triggers. The Migraine may not occur for some time after consumption of the offending food, as it takes time to digest and separate the chemicals that you may be intolerant to. It mat seem laborious to keep a diary of what you eat when you eat and your activities but if you can prevent an attack it is all worthwhile. The solutions shown above will apply once the trigger has started the Migraine.
