A migraine can be very severe, they can leave you feeling drained and tired.
Although typically a migraines are triggered, there may be cases when you’re hit with a severe headache in the absence of triggers.
Typical triggers can include lack of sleep, muscle tension, irregular meal times, flashing lights and even specific food or drinks can be triggers for migraines. While you cannot avoid every flare-up, specific self-care techniques can help prevent this pain.
Practising self-care for migraines can help you focus on yourself to take better care of your mental health and reduce the frequency of your episodes. At CityHypno, I use bespoke hypnotherapy sessions to help individuals overcome this problem.
With the expertise I’ve developed over the years, here’s a list of practices I find beneficial in preventing migraines.
Let’s take a look!
1. Treatment Through Hypnotherapy
Stress and anxiety have, unfortunately, become a part of our daily lives and can often leave us with a terrible migraine. While techniques such as hypnotherapy help you deal with such problems before they become severe, those unaware of the various benefits they possess may not consider this treatment.
Therapy by itself is a form of self-care that can allow you to become more in tune with your mind and body. Therapy through hypnosis or hypnotherapy can help you effectively deal with the daily stresses. Through this, you can also learn to manage your migraine triggers.
At CityHypno, I can help you by providing bespoke therapy sessions that let you overcome your migraine triggers. To find out more about how we can help you, get in touch with me, today!
2. Improve Your Diet And Food Intake
Eating healthily throughout the day can prove beneficial in keeping migraines at bay.
In many cases, it has been observed that those skipping meals faced terrible headaches more frequently than those who ate on a schedule. Including more healthy food in your diet and being careful with your food intake is essential in taking care of your body.
While you don’t have to necessarily cut down on all your comfort food, making sure you eat the right amount of nutrients along with it is definitely essential in keeping your body and mind healthy.
3. Meditation And Controlled Breathing
Another excellent self-care treatment for migraines is meditation. Finding the right time to help your body and mind destress and relax on a regular basis is something that I’d highly recommend implementing into your daily routine.
Controlled breathing and meditation can be a great addition to your migraine self-care techniques, helping you calm your mind by focusing on your thoughts. However, this will not provide instant migraine relief. This means that only through a consistent effort by meditation regularly, will you be able to tackle migraines.
While this may not completely eliminate headaches, it can reduce the intensity and time period so that you’re relieved sooner.
4. Improve Sleeping Habits
From cutting down on caffeine and alcohol before bed to reducing screen time, there are many things you need to let go of to practice effective self-care for migraines.
For those dealing with insomnia, lack of sleep can trigger your migraine, leaving you exhausted and tired. To overcome this, I’d recommend exercising regularly, reducing caffeine and alcohol intake, avoiding smoking, and creating a restful sleeping environment. While these methods may seem relatively simple, they can prove effective in helping you sleep better at night.
Once you improve your sleeping habits, you’ll notice a reduction in the frequency and severity of migraines.
