Magnetic treatment of migraines and headaches

Magnets are known to stimulate hormone production within the body. It is this action that makes magnets extremely effective in the prevention and treatment of migraine headaches.

When magnets are placed around the head the electromagnetic pulses generated by the magnetic field will cause increased electric activity with in the brain. This increases conductivity between neural pathways, which in turn stimulates the areas of the brain that are responsible for hormone production, namely the hormones serotonin and melatonin. 

Serotonin is the hormone that controls mood, commonly associated with migraine, stress and depression. 

Melatonin is responsible for the internal body clock. It is associated with insomnia, seasonal dysfunction disorder and migraine. 

Magnetic fields around the head will gradually over a period of days increase the body’s levels of serotonin and melatonin plus magnets are known to increase the blood levels of endorphins which are known as happy hormones as they give a euphoric feeling, they also are the body’s natural pain killers. 

The combination of the increase of these 3 hormones will help prevent the onset of a migraine or if you already have a migraine it will be less intense, plus the duration of the migraine will be greatly reduced.

Common treatments for migraine are: 

1. Magnetic pillow pad. If a magnetic pillow pad is used on a daily basis (placed inside your pillowcase, on top of your normal pillow) it can actually reduce the incidence of migraines. As the brain is exposed to a strong magnetic field every night the brain will be stimulated daily to increase production of serotonin, melatonin and endorphins. The effect of this will be that these hormone levels do not drop to abnormal levels which would usually trigger a migraine. 

2. Magnetic head band. This is a very basis and functional strap that is placed around the head, much like a sweat band. It contains 800 gauss/ 80 m tesla magnets and is worn at the onset of a headache/migraine. The disadvantage is that as you only wear when you have a headache it does not work to prevent migraines occurring but it is effective at treating migraines once they have commenced. Its main drawback is that it is not very attractive to wear any many people would not like to use it in a public place. This will reduce its effectiveness if your migraine/headache starts outside the home.

3. Magnetic eye mask. This has the same mechanism as the head band but is a mask that covers the eyes. This is very soothing if you have a tension related migraine or if you suffer from dizziness, flashing lights or spots obscuring your vision during a migraine. People report that the eye mask is very effective in the treatment of migraine pain plus in addition to wearing it at the onset and during a migraine it can be worn every night during sleep and will have a similar effect to that of the pillow pad.

Long term use of magnetic therapy devices can completely eradicate hormonally induced migraines and dramatically reduce the occurrence of migraine from other causes.
