Migraine and Indian Head Massage
Having recently enjoyed an Indian Head Massage, using a Christmas gift voucher from my son, I asked holistic therapist, Pauline McKittrick, for her thoughts on how Indian Head Massage could help migraine sufferers. Read her comments below. (And as a personal aside, I can vouch for the fact that my massage was an absolutely blissful experience!!) Pauline says: I wanted to tell readers how one of the therapies I regularly... (posted by Joy 3 years 33 days ago.)

The Connection Between Migraine and Wine
Foods including milk, wheat, oranges and eggs were found to be connected to migraines, according to a 1979 study published in the prestigious Lancet journal(1). However, some substances aren't detected easily because they are hidden within foods or drinks. "Red wine headache", sometimes referred to as RWH, is supposed to be caused by the yeast from the fermentation process. This is one of the most common instances...

A Surprising Migraine Trigger
The famous Lancet study done in 1979 has become the leading authority on food allergy. Before then, patients claiming allergy to beef were generally dismissed; however, its inclusion in the Lancet list of top allergens gave it some status(1). Still, research is far behind the curve when it comes to beef allergy, despite the fact that some researchers believe that many children allergic to milk are also allergic to beef. If a...

Cane Sugar and Migraine
The Lancet study of 1979 (which became the basis for so many subsequent studies on food sensitivity and migraines) listed ten common food triggers, of which cane sugar is just one(1). The correlation between migraines and cane sugar or refined sugar consumption has been exhaustively covered in many migraine forums, and sugar remains on the top ten most wanted list for migraine triggers. One German biochemist claims to have cured... (posted by Joy 3 years 135 days ago.)
