Migraines: Types, Causes, and My Methods of Assistance
Migraines are not just headaches; they are serious and complex conditions faced by millions of people worldwide. Personally, I have also been affected by this exhausting ailment. Refusing powerful painkillers (over-the-counter analgesics provided no relief) due to fear of side effects, I found that pills merely "turned off" nerve receptors in the brain without addressing the root cause. Causes remained unexplained, and all tests and head MRIs indicated normalcy. Meanwhile, pain episodes left me completely debilitated. There were no early signs, no opportunity to intervene; it all started suddenly, swiftly, and without warning. I could lie in bed for days, in darkness and complete silence, as the slightest outdoor noise intensified the agonizing burning pain. I began my own search for causes, as identifying them is key to living fully and without consequences. So, my experience. And now, life without pain. Everything I applied is detailed in this article.
In this article, we will explore various types of migraines, their causes, and alternative treatment methods such as leech therapy, PRP therapy, herbs, Bach flower essences, and bioresonance.
Types of Migraines:
1.Migraine with Aura: Accompanied by temporary visual disturbances and sensitivity before the onset of pain.
2. Migraine without Aura: Most common, with headaches occurring without prior symptoms.
Causes of Migraines:
1. Vitamin and Mineral Deficiency.
2. Hormonal Changes: Linked to menstrual cycles and hormonal fluctuations.
3. Stress and Psychological Factors: Emotional stress can trigger migraines.
4. Food Triggers: Certain foods like chocolate, cheese, and red wine may provoke migraines.
5. Environmental Factors: Bright light, loud noises, smells, or weather changes.
6. Neck Issues and Impaired Head Blood Circulation: Insufficient blood supply, pinched nerve fibers in the neck, may contribute to migraines.
7. Genetics: Heredity may play a key role in migraine development.
Methods of Assistance:
Principle: Using medicinal leeches to improve blood circulation and reduce inflammation.
Action: Reduction of pain and frequency of migraine episodes.
2. PRP Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma):
Principle: Injection of one's own platelet-rich plasma into acupuncture points.
Stimulation of tissue regeneration, reduction of inflammation, and relief of migraine symptoms.
3. Herbs:
- Peppermint Oil: Soothes muscles and may help alleviate headaches.
- Ginger Root: Possesses anti-inflammatory properties.
- Lavender: Used to relieve stress and tension.
Principle: Use of flower essences to restore emotional balance.
Action: Aids in managing stress and psychological factors triggering migraines.
Principle: Application of bioresonance frequencies to influence the body's energy field.
Action: Restoration of energy balance, positively impacting overall health.
Selection of Vitamins and Minerals:
1. Magnesium:
Role: Regulates vascular tone and switches to natural light.
Connection to Migraines: Magnesium deficiency may cause vascular dilation, a common migraine trigger. Choose the right type of magnesium.
2. Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin):
Role: Participates in energy metabolism.
Connection to Migraines: Riboflavin deficiency can affect energy metabolism in the brain, associated with migraines.
3. Coenzyme Q10:
Role: Antioxidant supporting energy processes.
Connection to Migraines: Low Coenzyme Q10 levels can affect the vascular system, potentially linked to migraines.
4. Vitamin D
Role: Regulates the immune system.
Connection to Migraines: Vitamin D deficiency affects immunity, potentially associated with migraines.
5. Iron
Role: Oxygen transport to tissues.
Connection to Migraines: Iron deficiency may lead to insufficient oxygen supply to the brain, associated with migraines.
6.5-HTP:
5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is a natural compound the body uses to produce serotonin, a substance that plays a crucial role in mood and vascular tone regulation. Research suggests that serotonin levels influence:
1. Vascular Tone: Serotonin affects vascular tone, and its deficiency may lead to vessel dilation, associated with migraines.
2. Reduced Frequency of Episodes: Some studies suggest that increasing serotonin levels through 5-HTP intake may decrease the frequency and intensity of migraines.
3. Modulation of Pain Signals: Serotonin plays a role in modulating pain signals in the central nervous system, influencing pain perception during migraines.
Conclusion
Migraines are complex, and each person may respond differently to various treatment methods. Approaches such as leech therapy, PRP therapy, herbs, Bach flower essences, bioresonance, lifestyle adjustments, and vitamin and mineral intake offer new possibilities for managing and alleviating migraine symptoms. This ultimately leads to overcoming the ailment. However, you must understand that dosages and vitamin and mineral selection must be tailored to your individual needs and body characteristics. I wish everyone a life without pain and full of joy!
