Studies have shown that tension type headaches / migraines are the most common and sadly around 80% of migraines are associated with tension and stress.

However, research shows that predominantly men suffer from cluster headaches. This type of headache is considered debilitating, as they can occur 1-4 times a day and go on for weeks, even months and then remission sets in for a time and then the cycle can start all over again. 

Men with migraines can suffer excruciating pain that can last anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours. The pain tends to be on one side of the head accompanied by eye pain and studies have shown that they are more common in men aged between 25 – 40 years. As with anyone who suffers from migraines, discovering the “triggers” is very important and when two or more triggers converge, symptoms may occur. To reduce and avoid stress is of utmost importance and has been considered the key in minimising migraines. Once again, keeping a diary will be most beneficial in linking your attacks to particular triggers.

Sleep is an important remedy for all who suffer migraine. Sleep heals “the body” and can relieve and reduce the symptoms of a headache/ migraine. 

However for the ongoing prevention of migraines you must change your lifestyle. Try using a therapeutic pillow, one that supports the head and neck. This will reduce the symptoms of morning migraines and allow you to sleep more soundly and comfortably. 

A daily intake of Himalayan Goji Juice and/or daily intake of B Vitamins, Magnesium and Feverfew will assist tremendously in treating migraines, but you must do this consistently – this is of the utmost importance.
