Misconception: Migraines are psychological manifestations of women’s inability to manage stress and emotions. Actuality: Neurologists are very clear that migraines are a real, debilitating medical condition related to temporary abnormal brain activity. Women are 3 to 4 times more likely to suffer from migraines than men. It has to do with hormones that activate neurons in specific parts of the brain which trigger pain sensation during their menstrual cycle; and has nothing to do with emotions. But hormones are just part of the puzzle. Lights, smells, certain foods and alcohol are also key triggers for Migraines. Both Reflexology and Indian Head Massage, when taken at reasonable intervals, are proven therapies for curing migraines, whatever the cause.
