Why Acupuncture and Herbs for migraines and headaches can help.
Suffering from migraines and headaches can be frustrating and debilitating all at the same time. Triggers for this head pain can be from a variety of reasons including hormonal imbalance, stress, and muscle tightness. Some experts say that genetics play a big role but lifestyle habits can also play a role.
Acupuncture helps relieve stress and unwind those tight neck muscles that could be triggering your headache. Taking a headache pill may hide the pain but it won’t address the cause. Acupuncture can help relieve the pain as well as address the root problem. I have a 23 year old patient who was diagnosed with MS and at the same time began getting migraines. The beginning of her menses always triggered a migraine. I told her she might be blood deficient because losing blood during her menses was triggering her pain. I gave her a blood boosting herbal formula, changed her diet which was heavy on carbohydrates, like cereal and sandwiches, and her migraines are now under control. Because of this shift in her life, she will most likely lead a healthier and longer life.
