Product Review: Migrastick
September 19th 2006 05:03
Theory is that before a migraine starts, seratonin levels drop and it's that, in part, that causes the vascular dilation that leads to an increased bloodflow to the brain - causing the familiar swelling and pain.
Lavender (proven in clinical studies to increase cranial alpha waves - directly affecting the ability to relax and serotonin levels) and Peppermint (effective for both pain relief and relief of nausea), are perfect to address an oncoming migraine.
Personally, I find that my necks starts to stiffen when an episode is approaching, and applying migrastick to the back of my neck can increase my chances of warding it off. It's very cooling and soothing, and easy to carry around! You can pick them up in most chemists for $12 or so, or order them online in Australia at Thexton.com.au.
