Does Acupuncture For Migraine Help??

Many people have tried every migraine treatment that conventional Western medicine has to offer, and still cannot find relief for their headaches.

When my wife was going to a acupuncturists, I read a letter on the desk in his office that a local lawyer had sent them.

She had gotten "HELP".

Ancient Chinese medicine has a long history behind it, being proven to work with its natural remedies, and holistic approach to medicine.

There are two basic types of ancient Chinese medicine for headaches that are used.

One being acupuncture, and the other is herbal medicine.

The herbal medicine he gave her for her migraines didn't coat any more money than vitamins.

And each visit was a fraction of what you have to pay if you have to go to the hospital for a pain shot for your headache, you know how much that costs?

They were very reasonable on their charges, and acupuncture for migraine does help people. "My wife is going to tell you exactly what they do a bit later".

Acupuncture and herbal medicine are often used together to treat Migraines The benefits of using ancient Chinese medicine for migraine headaches as opposed to Western medicine, is no side effects in most cases.

The medicines, and treatments are all natural so no strange chemicals are added to the body, which can also cause problems, often bigger problems than what the treatment is for.

The benefits of acupuncture, one of the two basic ancient Chinese medicines for headaches, are many.First, these treatments can change the level of serotonin in the patients bodies so that they are less likely to have headaches/migraines.

This is what some prescription drugs do, but they all come with side effects. Acupuncture for migraine doesn't. I'll tell you a little about acupuncture treatment. (I had plenty of time to read while I was waiting on my wife).

Chinese medicine acupuncture is believed to be one of the earliest methods of healing sick people.

It's a form of medicine that has been practiced by the Chinese for centuries, but has only recently become popular in the West and in other parts of the world.

The acupuncturists father said he had to be operated on for fluid build up in his ear at one point in his life, called Meniere's disease. It's a disorder of the inner ear that can cause dizziness, nausea, and vomiting just like migraines can, and do in most migraine sufferers.

He said this is unheard of in China, they keep the fluid out of the ear by using acupuncture, and western medicine would treat this disorder with medicine. In Western medicine, vascular headaches (the kind that are accompanied by throbbing veins in the temples like my wife gets) are typically treated with pain medicine or by the use of agents such as niacin, that dilate the affected blood vessels in the scalp.

But in acupuncture for migraine, a common treatment is to stimulate the sensitive points, that are located somewhere in the centers of the webs between the thumbs, and the palms of the patients hands, the hé gu points.

These points are described by acupuncture theory as "targeting the face, and head", and are considered to be the most important points when treating disorders affecting the face and head, such as in migraines and headaches.

As I said earlier, my wife will tell you what will happen. You won't know if acupuncture for migraine will help you, until you give it a shot. First, one would go to their doctor to rule out something serious, and if he doesn't help with the migraines, then one should find a highly recommended acupuncturist. Word of mouth may help you on finding a good one with migraines.
