The report below, said migrain; it may link to the heart problem. In my years of observations & study to the migrain, I found that it is a complex issues. But according to the "I-Medicine Sutra", Migrain root organs which caused the problem would be, Heart, Liver, Kidney, Stomach, Colon/Lung.
The 5 abstract elements relate to these organs are:-
Heart -- Fire
Liver -- Wood
Kidney -- Water
Stomach -- Earth
Lung/Colon -- Metal
Hence, the balance of "Yin-Yang" & the 5 elements is important for our health. Any conflicts would show up illness & pains.
The upper body blood circulations need the healthy heart to pump the blood up stream to the brain. But if the blood is too acidic & with high Cholesteral & Salt crystal then would cause even the blood flow to the brain. Thus aggrevate the pains on Migraine.
Food that can trigger migraine includes Read Meat, High Sodium foods, Ham, Cheese, Deep Fried foods, Drinks such as Alcohol & Coffee..
Therefore one must beware of these for your great health.
Migraine
Migraine, a debilitating condition characterised by severe headaches and a range of other physical symptoms, affects approximately 10% of the UK population. A majority of sufferers are women, half of whom relate their migraine attacks to their hormonal cycle.
What is migraine?
There are two types:
Migraine without an aura (common migraine)
This consists of a severe, throbbing headache, usually located on one side, with abdominal symptoms including loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dislike of food, constipation or diarrhoea. This affects about nine out of 10 sufferers.
Sufferers may also experience sensitivity to smell, light and noise, which leads them to rest in a quiet, darkened room.
Migraine with aura (classical migraine)
The headache is preceded by visual disturbances such as flashing lights, zig zag lines and blind spots, or tingling limbs.
The average length of a migraine attack is 22 hours and sufferers generally feel washed out for another one to two days afterwards.
The average number of attacks per sufferer is 13 per year.
What causes migraine?
The exact reason why migraine occurs is unknown. However, research suggests that attacks are linked to chemical changes in the body and that blood vessels and certain nerve cells in the head are involved.
These changes appear to be triggered in susceptible people by stress.
Other triggers are:
* Physical fatigue or lack of sleep
* Too much sleep
* Certain foods such as cheese and alcohol
* Extreme emotions
* Missed meals
* Hormonal factors, such as use of the contraceptive pill and periods
What treatment is available?
The most common medicines for treating an attack are painkillers such as aspirin or paracetamol.
Some medicines also have an anti-sickness ingredient, or this can be taken separately.
If over-the-counter treatments do not help there are medicines available on prescription, which are specifically for migraine.
These acute treatments, known as triptans, work in a similar way to a naturally occurring brain chemical called serotonin which is in short supply during a migraine attack.
They are available in a range of formulations, such as tablets, injections and a nasal spray.
