1. What Triggers Migraines?
Naturopathy treatment of migraine begins with
identifying and treating the underlying causes that
contributes to headaches. Headaches and
migraines, like any other disease are a result of
multiple factors adding up to the cause of the
headache.
Naturopathy looks at the plausible cause and the
trigger points. Prescription drugs only give
immediate relief it does not treat the symptoms.
An important feature of Naturopathy cure is
prevention and treatment by identifying which
trigger may be the underlying aggravator.
Naturopathic doctor takes a complete medical
history of family, menstrual cycle, bowel problem,
vitamin deficiencies, hypertension and diet before
considering the cause of migraine.
Stress
Anger, tension, worry, depression are major trigger points causing sleep disorder leading to system imbalance.
However it might be noted that happiness or excitement has rarely triggered migraine because it is a strong
positive emotion that boosts our immune system. The state of our mind has a direct impact on the response of
the body to a stimuli.
Physical Stress
When we do not respect our body it revolts in the form of disease. For migraineurs physical stress is also a
trigger point. like over exertion, tiredness, improper sleep pattern, neck sprain and travel.
Diet, food and allergy
In diet it is important to check food allergies or intolerance or sensitivities. Food allergies happen when the body
reacts to foods in the same way as to foreign bacteria and are many times immediate cause of headaches and
migraines.
Food triggers are commonly identified through an elimination diet.
Foods that most commonly induce migraines:
Foods like cheese, alcohol, beer, and wine induce migraines in some people because they contain vasoactive
compounds that cause blood vessels to expand.
Some other food , includes cow milk, cheese, chocolate, caffeine, fermented, pickle MSGs(preservative) and
marinated foods, soy, dairy, wheat, food additives, and preservatives.
Change in the environment such as weather, seasons, altitude and barometric pressure.
Migraineurs are sensitive to loud noises, bright lights and strong smells.
Long gaps between meals and insufficient food, fasting or dieting.
Dehydration- Widely overlooked cause but insufficient water is one of the major triggers for migraine. A thumb
rule is that one must drink at least eight glasses of water.
The “rebound effect”, paradoxical it may seem but a good percentage of migraine is induced by the analgesic
we take, it is a contributing factor for migraine.
All these are trigger points for migraine can generally be treated without drugs. .While a drug heals the man for
a day a healthy body heals him for a lifetime.
