Migraine Magic Program

Some facts about Migraines

  • About 11 out of 100 people experience Migraine Headaches.
  • Women are mostly affected and migraines tend to start between ages of 10 and 46.

Migraine attacks commonly activate the sympathetic nervous system in the body. The sympathetic nervous system is often thought of as the part of the nervous system that controls primitive responses to stress and pain, the so-called “fight or flight” response. The increased sympathetic nervous activity in the intestine causes nausea, and vomiting. Sympathetic activity also delays emptying of the stomach into the small intestine and thereby prevents oral medications from entering the intestine and being absorbed.

The impaired absorption of oral medications is a common reason for the ineffectiveness of medications taken to treat migraine headaches. The increased sympathetic activity also decreases the circulation of blood, and this leads to pallor of the skin as well as cold hands and feet. The increased sympathetic activity also contributes to the sensitivity to light and sound sensitivity as well as blurred vision.

Being mindful of our stressors, having nutritional and supplemental supports can quickly de-activate the sympathetic nervous system response to alleviate all the symptoms associated with a migraine.
