Herb + Ohm Migraines and Headaches
Migraines and headaches are among the most common reasons people seek acupuncture treatment. In Chinese Medicine, pain is the body’s way of communicating an imbalance or obstruction. Headaches can begin as a mild distraction from everyday living, but they can also escalate into chronic migraines, which often lead to depression, fatigue, reliance on painkillers, absenteeism from work/social situations and a diminished quality of life.
Acupuncture can effectively alleviate headache and migraine pain by stimulating the brain to release natural painkillers and “feel good” chemicals (endorphins and serotonin) in the body. This process not only helps to relieve pain from a particularly sensitive area, but also helps to relieve pain throughout the entire body while providing a sense of emotional well-being and relaxation.
Acupuncture also helps to increase blood circulation, bringing much needed oxygen and nutrients to the head to help soothe headaches and migraines. This process helps to facilitate healing and decrease pain.
