Migraines headaches are very debilitation problem that many people deal with on a regular basis. Migraine sufferers generally can feel them coming and quickly try to get a medication to hopefully head off the pain early. We look at this ailment in Chinese medicine as an internally imbalance that creates this larger pain response n the body. Many patients walk through my door seeking relief from this pain. Acupuncture and herbal therapies are design to get to the source of the ailment and work at removing it creating balance. The migraines usually start to change in two main ways. First, the intensity or pain level starts to subside and secondly the frequency starts to spread out having less episodes than before.

Recently, an article was posted at theFrisky about a persons firsthand experiences with using acupuncture and herbal therapy to treat migraine headaches.

Though admittedly a bit freaked about needles voluntarily being jammed into my body, I was also pretty desperate. I also had no idea just how healing acupuncture would be. Working with an attentive, sensitive acupuncturist and herbalist, I began a course of treatment, combining herbal remedies and twice-weekly acupuncture that took only several months to have a profound effect. As my healer Jaimie often told me, “There is life after migraines.” No one had ever said something so obvious yet so empowering to me before. Within six months, I no longer needed to visit her regularly. Within a year, I had a needle treatment once a month, right before my period, to keep most of my symptoms at bay; I was otherwise mostly migraine-free.
