Answer To Your Fitness Questions" />Migraine Headache Symptoms
April 3, 2008
As of late, I , myself, have had a few migraines that have appeared out of the blue. My symptoms included, head pain, nausea, lethargy, dizziness and face soreness. These symptoms are often the result of tension. So in practicing my yoga, which teaches us to treat gain and loss, pleasure and pain equally, I figured I should put this into action right away to help reduce the mental strain.
Just as the mind affects the body, this also works in the reverse. The body will affect the mind. Yoga asanas can help with those migraines. Sometimes, the only thing that would help the pain was Coca-cola for me. Which is well-known for dilating the blood vessels. BUt if you can get to the point of recognizing the warming symptoms and using them as a call to action you can help halt the full-blown attack and reduce it’s severity.
There aren’t any special asanas that are most effective or prescribed to help as each one of us are different. However, there are some poses that will be most beneficial. For instance, forward bends like Janu Sirsasana, a seated forward bend, can quiet excited nerves. Also, supported Setu Bandha Sarvangasana which is known as Bridge pose will open up the chest muscles and will increase oxygen intake. Plus, one of my favorites is Viparita Karani, legs-up-a-wall pose helps to relax the mind and nervous system, and it too will open up the oxygen intake. But most of all, let your heart tell you what works best for you and, of course, experiment to see how you feel.
Your body is always talking to you, so just listen.
