Hypnosis Can Help Migraines
As discussed in previous blogs hypnosis has many beneficial uses to help a person with their overall health. These uses range from mental health, such as stress reduction to helping one deal with the pain from physical illnesses. One of the health issues that hypnosis can help with is migraines. Migraines are a very serious, painful, and often debilitating form of headaches. The symptoms of migraines are different from person to person. However, the most common symptoms of migraines include:
• A severe pulsating pain in the head.
• Interference with day to day activities
• Nausea
• Sensitivity to light/sound
• experiencing auras
Migraines tend to last anywhere from 4 to 72 hours, and with length varying greatly. Migraines are caused by certain triggers like hormonal, stress, food, changes in sleep patterns, medications, and changes in the surrounding environment.
How can hypnosis help? Hypnosis enables a person to avoid the triggers that are causing migraines like stress, or certain foods. Additionally, studies have shown that hypnosis allows people to control the pain caused by migraines. The two specific hypnotherapy techniques used to help migraines are hand warming and glove anesthesia techniques. With the help of hypnotherapy suffers from migraines find themselves in control of their pain. They are able to send a numb or warm feeling to the areas of their head where they feel the most pain.
If you find that your normal medications are failing to help the symptoms of your migraines. Hypnosis can be a healthy, positive, and natural alternative for dealing with migraines.
