FASTING CURE FOR MIGRAINE
A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO PAIN REDUCTION
Migraine is more than just an ordinary headache. It is a neurological disorder characterised by recurrent attacks of intense, often one-sided headaches. This pain can be accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound and visual disturbances. The exact causes of migraine are not yet fully understood, but genetic and environmental factors are thought to play a role.
There are different types of migraine, including
- Migraine with aura: Around a quarter of people with migraine experience an aura before the actual headache. Aura symptoms can include visual changes, such as flickering lights or blind spots in the field of vision, as well as sensory or speech disturbances.
- Migraine without aura: In this type of migraine, the headache occurs without being preceded by an aura. It is the most common form of migraine.
- Chronic migraine: If someone suffers from migraines at least 15 days a month over a period of more than three months, this is known as chronic migraine.
HOLISTIC FASTING CURE
A FAST FOR THE HEAD
Therapeutic fasting, also known as therapeutic fasting, is a method of abstaining from solid food for a certain period of time. This approach not only focuses on the physical level, but also takes mental and spiritual health into account. Empirically, positive effects of therapeutic fasting on migraines have been observed time and again.
Metabolic optimisation:
Therapeutic fasting optimises metabolic processes in the body and can also improve blood circulation and blood vessel function, which can have a positive effect on the various causes of migraines.
Stress reduction and relaxation:
Therapeutic fasting has a psycho-vegetative balancing effect and promotes muscular relaxation. It is often combined with techniques such as meditation and yoga. Alongside the relief and relaxation provided by fasting, these methods can also reduce stress, which is a common trigger for migraines.
Hormonal regulation:
In some women, migraines can be triggered by hormonal changes, particularly in connection with the menstrual cycle. Therapeutic fasting can help to regulate hormonal balance and restore equilibrium.
Detoxification and anti-inflammation:
Fasting gives the body a break from constant digestive work. This contributes to detoxification and reduces inflammatory processes in the body that can be involved in the development of migraines.
Migraine is a complex disorder that affects many people. Although the causes of migraines are not yet fully understood, a holistic approach such as therapeutic fasting can help to alleviate the symptoms. Through detoxification, stress reduction, anti-inflammation and hormonal regulation, therapeutic fasting can have a positive effect on migraines. However, it is important to consult a doctor and consider individual needs and contraindications before starting therapeutic fasting.
