Migraines, what a pain, also such an interesting topic for a blog!

After spending over 30 years in natural healing I found some very helpful sound logic through reflexology techniques and nutrition for help with migraine headaches. Starting from a reflexology standpoint, some connections that allopathic doctors have discovered are connections to certain foods triggering migraine headaches. So digestively the intestines are located low in the abdomen. A little lower than the abdomen is the tailbone or coccyx. I lived in a mountain ski resort area and couldn’t help noticing how many injuries happened because of falls that hurt tail bones, one being the onset of migraines. Another thing I noticed was the onset of migraines after whiplash. So, I noticed the correlation of high spine, low spine, and digestive triggers for migraines could be caused by swallowing irritating the high spine and swelling irritating the tailbone from inflammatory foods like sweets.

An effective treatment using reflexology is feather touch of the fingertips to the bottom of the big toes or thumbs along the first joint bend. It is also helpful to feather touch with the fingertips on the soles and palms where the toes and fingers attach into the feet and hands. This treatment works especially well if done as the migraine is just coming on. Please share your results and the technique with others.

Nutritionally, all B vitamins especially B-6 and B-12 are very helpful. Some great sources of B vitamins in a bioavailable easily used form for the body are beef tallow (fat), beef liver (eat your pate), nutritional yeast, sunflower lecithin, and unsulphured blackstrap molasses. These sources are valuable in repair of nerve damage, and help heal inflammation getting a body that much closer to optimal health.
