Migraine Management Tips From Daddie

Last week, I wrote about the migraine attack I had & immediately after reading it, my father sent me a useful email with tips on how to manage migraines. It's unorthodox so be ready for some simple but surprising reactions to these... During Migraine Pain: taken from yogajournal.com To relieve the pain, use right finger to block right nostril and breathe normally through left nose until clear. Search for a pressure point by pressing around the line separating the upper and lower arm near to the elbow. Either arm will do. It hurts the most when pressed. Massage/press it until pain subsides.
