Migraines: Natural Pain Relief Without Any Painful Treatment or Drugs

    

A migraine is no ordinary headache, as any sufferer will testify; the pain is debilitating and some are driven to the quiet of a bed in a dark room for at least a day. Twenty-four percent of all women at some stage of their life will suffer from migraines. Migraines can be triggered by any one or a combination of factors ranging from hormonal, sleeping patterns, neck and jaw tightness, exercise, travel, lack of food, allergies and stress levels of the individual. Migraine sufferers come to rely on medication, which often has side effects such as nausea and diarrhea. Once an attack has subsided, the migraine sufferer is groggy, tired and drained.

So if someone came up to you and said “I have an effective, non-invasive and gentle alternative for you that works fast” what would you say?

If coping with migraines is becoming difficult for you it may be time to take resort to Bowen Therapy. Bowen Therapy is a highly effective treatment for migraines. It acts quickly to relieve migraine pain and research shows that Bowen can effectively reduces the frequency and severity of future attacks, often with very few treatments.

Bowen Therapy is a non-invasive holistic approach where gentle rolling movements with the thumbs and forefingers are performed on crucial points of the body to help alleviate pain. Bowen addresses the root cause of the problem by aiming to restore the body's natural rhythm to heal itself. Bowen can be safely practiced on individuals of all age groups. 3-5 sessions is generally recommended at 1 session a week.

Nikke Ariff is a London, England based Bowen therapist who, in 2002 carried out a research program with The Migraine Action Association to test the efficacy of the Bowen Therapy on migraine sufferers. The research was carried out over a six week period, each participant received 3 Bowen treatments. The participants had all been suffering from migraines for at least 10 years, some for over 30. The results were very outstanding to say the least.  Of the 39 participants: 7 registered no change in their migraine condition, 11 experienced a decrease in frequency of attacks, 9 experienced a decrease in severity of their migraine, 11 experienced a decrease in severity and frequency of attacks, 1 participant experienced an increase in frequency. In all, 31 case studies experienced a positive result, yielding a response rate of 79.5%. At the end of the program 36 of the 39 volunteers said they would recommend Bowen as a treatment for migraines.

Quotes from some of the migraine volunteers:

“I have had more energy and migraine-free time”.

“I have been so used to frequent Migraines, I can’t quite mentally adjust to not having pain.”

“The most relaxing and enjoyable of any treatments I have previously tried.”

“After the 2nd treatment, I had 9 days without Migraines which was wonderful.”

“I feel I am calmer since having the treatment.” 

Testimonials from Migraine Sufferers:

"I have suffered from migraine for approximately 20 years, but they have accelerated over the past 6 years. I am under care of neurologist and have tried many prophylactic treatments, Botox and a stimulation device, I have also tried acupuncture, physio and a chiropractor & massage therapist. I was a little sceptical at the start of the treatment although very willing to try. Within 3 weeks I began to see an improvement and had 14 days without a headache (normally 20+ headache days per month). I have had approximately 8 treatments and I have noted a significant and life changing improvement. I still get migraine & headaches, but they have significantly improved in severity and over all frequency. I am very grateful for the improvement in quality of life this has enabled.”

“I suffer from chronic migraines and things took a turn for the worse in April 2014. I had daily migraines, was in a lot of pain, and doctors were not really sure what caused the change. I started Bowen Therapy in June 2014, and the sessions have helped a lot. Bowen Therapy helped decrease the level of pain, as well as the frequency of migraines. I could not have any massages because it was too deep, but Bowen therapy is a very gentle approach that provided relief. On the days that I had a Bowen session, I could feel the immediate benefit that would last for a few days.” Alice

"I have had migraines since I was 16 years old and have tried a variety of medications that have taken the edge off but never stopped the pain completely. For the past 22 years, every month for 3 days I have suffered from migraines. If I am under stress I end up getting them 2-3 times a month. This year I was planning my wedding, a joyous occasion but stressful to plan. I got a migraine that lasted 5 days. Once it was gone I continued to have shooting pain and cluster headaches that eventually caused the right side of my face to go numb. When I saw my doctor she told me that it was stress and I needed to go do something relaxing to release the tension in my shoulders, neck and head. A co-worker suggested I go see Sharon for Bowen Therapy as it had helped her. After the 1st session, my shoulders and neck were more relaxed and the shooting pain in my head was greatly reduced. I saw her a week later for a 2nd session. Afterwards, I barely felt any tension in my neck and shoulders and the pain in my head was gone. Since I have been having Bowen Therapy done, I have only had 2 migraines in 7 months and they were not as extreme as they use to be. I see Sharon every 4-6 weeks for my migraines and when I start to have tension built up in my neck, shoulders and back. I used to go to a chiropractor for my back but have found Bowen helps with both my migraines and my back so she is able to address both issues at one time. I would recommend Sharon and Bowen Therapy to anyone who suffers from migraines or tension headaches."
