Migraines are very often associated with tension and stress, both physical and emotional, and can be triggered by other factors such as hormonal imbalance. The relaxation effect produced by Reflexology, Thai Foot Massage, Reiki and Indian Head Massage can be very beneficial to reduce stress and tension and help prevent attacks. Additionally, reflexology promotes balance and normalisation of the endocrine system which controls hormone levels in the body. This can be particularly helpful for women who suffer with migraines associated with the menstrual cycle.
REFLEXOLOGY TREATMENT FOR MIGRAINE AND TENSION HEADACHES
By the National Board of Health Council, Denmark, 1995
This study aimed to ascertain the effectiveness of reflexology on migraine and tension headaches. Two hundred and twenty patients presenting with headaches as their primary problem were treated by 78 reflexologists over a three-month period. A consultant doctor diagnosed the type of headache before the study began. Patients completed a diary once a month prior to treatment and during the treatment time. Questionnaires were completed by the patient at the beginning and end of the series of treatments, and three months after the end of the series. Qualitative interviews were conducted at the end of the treatments. Results: 16% reported that they were cured, 65% said that reflexology had helped, and, 18% were unchanged. Conclusion: reflexology can help both tension and migraine headaches in a significant number of patients.
